About this property

Ashbourne 4.2 miles. Enjoy the countryside on your doorstep when staying at Hillcrest House, nestled in between rolling hills and in view of the limestone hill Thorpe Cloud, this spacious cottage lies on the southern edge of the Peak District in Thorpe. A fantastic choice to host your family get-together, everyone will enjoy the spacious rooms as well as en-suite shower rooms in nearly all the bedrooms. After a day of walking around the local peaks, come back to the woodburning stove in one corner of the sitting area and put your feet up in front of the fire, with plenty of sofas arranged to accommodate the whole party. Put a family favourite film on, if everyone can agree on one, while a few of the group head into the kitchen to cook up a classic dish with the access to an electric double oven and other high-quality appliances. When it's time to serve, send the word to gather around the splendid dining table for twenty-two guests and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones, while planning where your holiday will take you in the coming days. The ground floor is home to one of the ten bedrooms, this one being a king-size with en-suite shower room and a sofa bed, suitable for four people or two with their own private snug area. All the windows look out to gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and heading upstairs will take you to another six bedrooms on the first floor, five king-size and one super-king-size, most with en-suite shower rooms attached. The bedrooms are adorned with pretty décor and plenty of storage for your personal items. Heading up to the second floor brings you to the final three bedrooms; a king-size with en-suite shower room and two twin rooms, as well as a games room. On a summer's day you can head out to the garden, where there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some alfresco dining with a cold drink while the kids run around, take a long soak in a bubbling hot tub, or unwind in the sauna. Discover walking routes accessible right from your doorstep, with popular walking haunts including Thorpe Cloud, Dovedale Stepping Stones and the water meadows of the River Dove. Over in the larger town of Ashbourne you can find a wide range of restaurants, cafes, and family friendly pubs, as well as shopping and historic buildings. An exciting day out for everyone is just a short car journey away at Alton Towers, one of the world's leading theme parks. Whatever your reason for a visit to the Peaks, you will be glad you stayed at Hillcrest House; a unique property to return to year after year!

Ashbourne, which is located at the southernmost point of the Peak District, is the epitome of an English market town, complete with a market place with stalls, an odd street layout, winding cobblestone lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a posh social hub during its heyday in the 18th century, and many lovely Georgian structures from this time period still stand today. The town is still known as something of a sanctuary for antique hunters today and still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, but don't expect a deal!
