This two-bedroom stone cottage is in Ashford-in-the-Water, Derbyshire. With peaceful countryside views, this "upside down" cottage puts the living areas upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs. Beautiful exposed stonework and beams give the upstairs sitting room real character alongside a wood burner and Smart TV.

The village of Ashford-in-the-Water is on the doorstep and a medieval bridge, a village pub and a picturesque church are all within easy reach. Bakewell is just 2.5 miles away via scenic walking trails. Thornbridge Hall Gardens are less than a mile away. This is proper Peak District countryside.

The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite with a bath and large walk-in shower. The twin bedroom uses a separate family bathroom with shower over the bath. The kitchen is well-equipped with Neff and Bosch appliances. Outside there is a lawn with a picnic bench.

Chatsworth House is just over 4 miles away and Haddon Hall is just over 5 miles.

This rental suits two couples wanting great walking and Peak District sightseeing. Scenic walks from the door and EV charging on site make this a practical and well-located base.
