Upon entering the property you are welcomed by a cosy sitting room featuring a wood burner. After a busy day exploring you can sit back and relax in front of the TV. Wander through into the delightful and spacious kitchen/diner with its stunning original floor tiles, the gas wood burner brings a sense of comfort while the rustic wooden kitchen is designed to set you up perfectly for your Derbyshire cottage break. A large map, wall mounted, enables you to plan your next adventure.

The loft room is a spacious double with a contemporary feel, its own TV and a light-filled Velux window. To the back of the property there is a stone outhouse perfect for storing bicycles, boots and coats.
