Description

Comfortable well equipped cottage, with Countryside Views.

Located at the end of the Manifold Valley, mid way between the market towns of Ashbourne and Leek. The cottage is situated in a quiet cul de sac on the edge of the village and benefits from an enclosed rear garden with patio furniture and a private drive providing off road parking for two vehicles. It is heated by oil fired central heating. Heating, electricity, bedding and towels are included in the price, as is Wifi.

The cottage sleeps up to five people and has one double room, one twin (can be zip linked to form a king) and a single room.

The cottage is located in a superb walking and cycling area and is an ideal base from which to explore the many attractions in the area. The Manifold Trail which is a surfaced track suitable for both walking and cycling runs for 8.5 miles between Waterhouses and Hulme End. Other cycle and walking trails within the area include the Tissington, High Peak and Monsal Trails. Lovely walks are available along the many miles of footpaths and lanes within the surrounding area and the network of surfaced trails and lanes within the area make the cottage an ideal base for walking all year round. Dovedale, Thorpe Cloud and the pretty village of Ilam are less than a 15 minute drive away.

Historic houses and gardens within the area include Chatsworth House with its farmyard, adventure playground and the many events held there throughout the year; Haddon Hall, Tissington Hall (restricted opening) and various National Trust properties including Sudbury Hall with its museum of childhood, Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall and Biddulph Grange Gardens.

Carsington Water which is within easy travelling distance of the cottage offers water sports, sailing, cycle hire, fishing, a children's play area and a bird watching centre with several hides, or you can just walk around the reservoir (a full circuit is around 8.5 miles). Two miles north of Leek is Rudyard Lake with it's miniature railway and activities on offer include walking, fishing and boating. Tittesworth Reservoir, also near Leek offers walks, a visitor centre and water sports. For the more adventurous, visit Wild Park Derbyshire, between Ashbourne and Derby for paint balling, laser tag, quad biking and archery.
The pretty market towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne, Leek & Buxton (renowned for its spa water and Opera House) are all well worth a visit and easily accessible from the cottage.

Other attractions within the area include Gulliver’s Kingdom & the Heights of Abraham at Matlock; Poole’s country park, caverns and Go Ape at Buxton; Alton Towers and Splash Landings indoor pool (10 minute drive), The Peak Wildlife Park (10 minute drive); Waterworld at Stoke; Crich tramway museum and the Churnet Valley Railway. The National Memorial Arboretum, Tamworth Snow dome and Drayton Manor Theme Park are all within travelling distance of the cottage.
All this and more is close to the cottage to keep you busy for the whole period of your holiday, or you can just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this beautiful part of England.

There is a separate garage for the storage of bikes and this also contains a selection of bikes which are available for guests to use. There is also a cycle hire centre in the village, a village shop, pub and café. Smoking is not permitted inside the cottage. Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement but we politely ask that they remain downstairs, are kept off the furniture and aren't left unattended in the cottage.

Short breaks available (3 night minimum stay).

Fantastic cottage!

By Nuala Macdonald on 27-Aug-2024

We stayed for 3 nights with 2 Labradors. The cottage was spotless with everything you could need. Very comfortable and completely enclosed garden which my dogs enjoyed. Lovely area and close to many attractions. Great communication with owner. Really enjoyed the comfort of this fab cottage!

Great cottage and location

By Steven O on 01-Jul-2024

The main reason for our trip was for Alton Towers and the Peak District, so the location was ideal, and quiet too. We flew into Manchester and the roads down to Waterhouses were straightforward. Cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The cottage has everything we needed. The welcome basket went down a treat too, especially with the kids. Communication with the owner was timely, with clear and easy arrival and departure instructions. I definitely recommend.

Great Property

By Richard M on 21-Jun-2024

Great location, clean and very well presented. Great to have a good mattress on the beds and 3 toilets is great. Excellent that little bits and bobs were provided, like a welcome basket, tea, coffee, condiments and soaps etc. Overalll a fantastic location and would definitely recommend for Alton Towers as only 7 miles away and a great base for exploring the peak district. Would have to say its one of the cleanest properties we have stayed in.

A lovely stay and ideally located

By Alison O on 12-Jun-2024

Immaculately clean, cosy and comfortable, we had a lovely May half term holiday in this lovely house. Easy to reach, communication was excellent, and everything was provided for. It is ideally situated, close to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park and close to stunning views. the Country Garden cafe down the road was very good and sold excellent sauces! We visited Heights of Abraham, Chatsworth, Alton Towers, our girls fed the meerkats at Peak Wildlife Park which was their holiday highlight, Treak Cliff Cavern, Gladstone Pottery Museum where Pottery Throw Down is filmed and a decorating workshop at the Emma Bridgewater Factory. Thank you Inez!

Excellent

By Maurice on 01-Oct-2023

Lovely stay here at this lovely cottage. Has everything you would need plus more. Board games were played. Kitchen was so well stocked, if you needed it, it was there. Lovely welcome items too and all info provided ahead of time and clear and precise instructions. En suite is a lovely bonus. Everything was very clean and in great condition. We stayed for an Alton towers trip - 15 mins away and only there in the evening, but you can tell in the summer months with some lovely weather the outdoor space would be very nice. I have nothing negative to say, great place to stay, thanks very much :)

Lovely cottage in a good location

By Michael T on 26-Sep-2023

Lovely cottage very clean and well supplied with everything you could need. Good location, rural enough for peace and quiet but only 35mins away from the Buxton and Bakewell areas. Good communication with clear arrival and departure instructions. Very enjoyable experience and a great holiday
