Overview
Property code: 87471

A couple’s retreat in the popular village of Ashford-in-the-Water. Stay in this picture-perfect village with miles of countryside walks and many of the Peak District’s hot spots within easy reach.

Ashford-in-the-Water is a popular Derbyshire village, located in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Walk to the country pub, village shop and tearooms or soak up the restful surroundings and take a picnic along the banks of the River Wye by the Sheepwash Bridge. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within 6 miles; alternatively, you could meander through the shops and cafes of Bakewell (3 miles), home to a weekly market and the renowned Bakewell Pudding. The spa town of Buxton is 14 miles away and offers a lively arts scene including an opera house, while the Monsal Dale (2 miles) is a beautiful destination where you can enjoy the outstanding scenery on foot.

Enter the cottage by taking a few external steps down and step into the hallway. The kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave with pretty views over the village from the kitchen window. The lounge/diner offers two comfy sofas where you can sit and relax after a day exploring the area; pop on the TV to unwind and enjoy space for long breakfasts at the nearby dining table and enjoy the lovely views. The bedroom offers a double bed and a handy sofa bed which would be suitable for a child. The bathroom offers a shower over the bath and a WC.

Outside, the enclosed patio wraps around the cottage and provides delightful, elevated views over the village. There is a bistro set providing a lovely spot to sit and relax or enjoy dining alfresco. The patio overlooks a grassy bank which can also be used by guests.

A lovely cozy flat with a sunny terraced patio. Had everything you need for a break. Nice views too. Ideal for two people and a small dog. Off road parking for your car.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cottage which is ideally located for walking plus it is very handy for the 2 local pubs, both of which are excellent and also for the Tea Room which offers a good selection of food and drinks all of which are reasonably priced.

For the two of us plus our dog it was an excellent choice of cottage. One poster said the bed was uncomfortable but it wasn't for us. Another said the parking was not good for a long car but our long Sorrento estate fitted in nicely.

The cottage is well located in a beautiful little village which has a pub The Bull which is a great friendly place with good food. ( the other pub nearby is being renovated) It is a great location for walks and trails as well as driving out to villages to explore. It had parking which suits a regular car maybe not a larger estate.. there is a smallRead more garden so may not be good for larger dogs. It is comfortable enough for a short stay, quite basic really. Hide

Cosy cottage, on a steep hill but within easy access to lots of walking trails. There is parking in front of the garage doors but a large car probably won't fit, however there's Street parking round the corner. It's such a lovely quiet village you probably don't have to worry about it. The front door is along to the side of the cottage (which is alRead moreso a quiet public footpath) then 2 small steps down, not really a problem. Village shop for basics but Aldi not too far away. Owner is lovely. Hide
