  • Thoughtful finishing touches throughout and stunning views make this the perfect escape

Property code: OC-DCTLH

This fantastic holiday retreat is set amongst a cluster of cottages in a peaceful little valley, nestling in the rolling hills south of Matlock. It’s the ideal bolthole for a couple on a romantic getaway wanting a great base from which to explore the numerous local attractions. The High Peak Trail, just 3 miles away, is great for walkers and cyclists. Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill, 4 miles away. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with its heritage railway, Heritage Centre, quirky Northern Lights Cinema and many a pub and restaurant is just 2 miles away. Belper's award-winning market town in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor, 6 miles distant, is another must-see.

Inside, the open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen surround a central double-sided wood burner. The lounge has sumptuous furniture (including a sofa bed if it is needed), while a coordinated dining area has an attractive table and four chairs for eating home-cooked meals. There is also a desk and chair. The kitchen is well stocked with everything guests should need to rustle up those delicious meals. Up the feature oak staircase, guests will find the vaulted bedroom with a king-size bed, which also has a quiet reading area and wonderful balcony looking out over the fields

Outside, the terrace, balcony and patio are ideal places to share a drink of wine or two while admiring the stunning views.

Little House is an absolutely first class accommodation. The house was furnished to a very high standard and cannot be faulted in any way. We have been using holiday cottages now for almost 15 years and this accommodation ranks extremely highly. The unique selling point is the veranda. Looking out to the fields of cattle and the small wood makes Read morethis a stunning feature. We enjoyed sitting outside in the almost total silence and feeling the light breeze in the sunshine. Situated in lovely countryside not too far from Matlock Bath, I would thoroughly recommend this property. Also, Val the friendly owner left out some very nice edibles on arrival that were a nice touch. In summary, it has to be 10/10. Hide
