Just a short drive from the house is Dovedale, known famously for its unique feature of stepping stones across the River Dove, where you can take a fantastic walk to Ilam and across Thorpe Cloud where your views are stunning, the Tissington Trail also has a great route and perfect for cycling, as well as Carsington Water which is an 8-mile stretch around the reservoir which also offers many water sports.

The first floor offers four double bedrooms; the master has an en-suite shower room and there is a family bathroom with shower over bath.

House was great size plenty of space we had 10 people
And had plenty of space , house was clean and for what we needed the location was great half hour from Alton towers and supermarket across road
The best service accommodation I have stayed thus far!!!
During our recent stay, my family and I were delighted to experience the charm of a serviced accommodation that felt like a tranquil oasis. The stunning house, adorned with sleek modern design and exquisite furnishings, went above and beyond to ensure our utmost comfort. Every meticulous detail, from the captivating decor to the meticulously stocked kitchen, contributed to an overwhelming sense of warmth and relaxation.
The location is perfect, offering both tranquillity and convenience. Jackie, the host, was lovely and exceptionally attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for an ideal stay. We can't recommend this place enough! It's truly a gem.

We stayed for five days over the New Year and there was a group of us.
We stayed for five days over the New Year and there was a group of us. House is well equipped and there’s plenty of room. A bit of a steady walk into town downhill so you feel it coming back. Tricky for oldies. Hot tub great and our pooch loved the garden. We would definitely rebook.
