The reverse-level layout of this beautiful home-from-home maximises wonderful countryside views, making the most of the sublime melting sunsets and dark, starry skies. On the first floor, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner combines authentic country cottage touches with contemporary charm, inspiring tired travellers to unwind and dine at the end of a long day. The light and bright shower room on this floor provides everything you need to feel refreshed from sunrise to sunset. Downstairs, the homely double bedroom and cosy twin bedroom boast stunning ceiling beams that echo the rich history of the cottage, as well as crisp, white linens that guarantee a peaceful rest. Outside, enjoy dining alfresco in the walled patio amongst the soothing sounds of the farmland. There is a field to the rear of cottage which can be used by guests if there is no livestock grazing, as well as off-road parking for one car.

Known as the gateway to the Dales and the Peak District National Park, boasting some of the best walking country in Derbyshire, the idyllic village of Hartington is surrounded by beautiful scenery and is home to a fantastic selection of local shops, cafes and restaurants. Keen outdoor explorers can discover the network of local footpaths, with the south leading to Beresford Dale, Wovescote Dale and the famous Dovedale and the north in the Upper Dove valley leading to Pilsbury Castle (4.5 miles) and Crowdecote (5.5 miles), nestled on the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
