About this property
Crich 2.2 miles. Hideaway is a charming, two-bedroom holiday home resting in South Wingfield, near Crich, in Derbyshire. Boasting off-road parking for three cars, a sizeable rear garden, and a superb location walking distance from the closest pub and the tranquil River Amber, this delightful abode makes an ideal base for a small family or trio of friends looking to book a fuss-free escape near the magnificent Peak District National Park. Park up out front of Hideaway, taking a moment to soak in your new setting before heading indoors to unpack your belongings. Once inside, make yourself at home in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, an elegant space housing all the appliances required to rustle up delicious home-cooked meals that can be savoured around the dining table. On warmer days, switch on the electric barbecue to help in catering a proper alfresco affair, kicking back on the outdoor furniture with a glass of your favourite tipple to properly toast your getaway. In the evenings, kick back in the sitting room to plan the rest of your trip or catch up on the days' events before you eventually head upstairs to catch your precious rest in either a plush king-size or single bedroom. Start each day with a caffeine boost with the help of the coffee machine. When you're ready, lace up your shoes and set out to explore your local area. A short walk will take you to your nearest pub, The Bluebell, whilst The Old Yew Tree Inn and The Whitehart Inn Moorwood Moor are both reachable on foot and worthy of a visit when your thirst needs quenching. To stock up on homely essentials, jump in the car and stop in neighbouring Crich, a quaint village housing a Nisa Local along with the restored Crich Tramway Village, the Crich Memorial Tower, and the The Loaf bakery if you fancy taking fresh, warm breads back to enjoy at your abode. A brief car trip will also take you to the nearby sites of the Black Rocks, the Heights of Abraham, and Lumsdale Waterfall on your journey into the Peak District National Park, a breathtaking landscape home to iconic attractions such as Chatsworth House, Throwley Old Hall, Thor's Cave, Speedwell Cavern. Enjoy the ultimate stay in Derbyshire at Hideaway.
The village of Crich (known as Cardale in the hit TV series Peak Practice) is full of character and history, and boasts a number of shops and several pubs. There are walks around the village, and trams (the village is home to the National Tramway Museum) move up the valley to some of the most beautiful views of the Derbyshire Dales. Matlock, 7 miles away, offers a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as attractions such as Gulliver’s Kingdom. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car that takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family with its show-caves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, while to the north are the market town of Bakewell, Chatsworth House and Park and Haddon Hall, with Carsington Water offering fantastic watersports - not to be missed! Ideal at any time of year!

The house was super clean and she supplied basic groceries and treats. The garden was beautifully kept. She was very helpful if we had any queries about our stay. We would thoroughly recommend her place.

So many great places to visit from our location. The Yew Tree pub just down the road offered us great food at a very reasonable price, great landlord and cook. Back to the house, the linen and towels were very clean and fresh and beds very comfortable. Garden laid out beautifully with seating area and plentiful chairs. It was great to have off car parking. Kitchen certainly had everything we needed.

Stayed her for 2 nights and had all the facilities we needed. 2 adults + 2 (under 2yrs). We chose this property because it was well priced and close enough to Nottingham for us to attend a world sporting event that was taking place. Property was a little rundown in terms of age (mainly bedrooms) could maybe to with an uplift but worked well enough. Parking plentiful. Owner very pleasant and communication was excellent helping us with anything we might need. Didnât provide high chairs or cots which is ok for us as we have our own we could bring with us. But possibly handy for others if could provide one of each if needed. Overall good stay.
