About this property
A really peaceful hideaway surrounded by stunning Peak District countryside on the edge of picturesque Ilam village.
Totally surrounded by beautiful countryside and situated in the Peak District away from everyone, is this stunning and luxurious cottage attached to the owners' home. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is the perfect cottage to stay in. The open-plan lounge is light and airy yet cosy and vibrant, with amazing views over the rolling limestone hills. Farriers is located in the village of Ilam between the meandering River Manifold and River Dove valleys.
You won’t be stuck for things to do - Ilam Hall and Park (National Trust) is nearby and if you’re looking for something a little more challenging, hike up to Thor’s Cave. Dove Dale isn’t very far and you’ll be pleased you visited after hopping across River Dove on the famous and iconic stepping-stones and starring in wonder at Thorpe Cloud in the distance. Manifold Valley and Paradise Walk with its vanishing river will amaze you. However, if you just want to go for a few simple walks and take in the countryside, there are plenty to choose from. After a wholesome day out, return back to Farriers to relax and drift off in the comfortable king size bed.

The location is beautiful and so peaceful regardless of being next to a road but be aware that guests can’t access the garden at the rear of the property (this is included in the property description). Although it is well-equipped, the kitchen area is tiny but who wants to cook a meal when there are plenty of lovely places where you can eat out! The shower is really powerful and there is plenty of hot water and there is more than enough storage in the bedroom, including several coat hangers. I think if you are planning to be out all day and want somewhere cosy for the night this property is ideal.

The cottage is very near perfect, with just one caveat. A delicate matter, we have a firm mattress at home & very much appreciate a comfortable bed. The mattress at the property is extremely 'soft'. For us, it spoilt the otherwise very comfortable stay. We would seek to rebook in the future, but not as things are with the bed. I repeat the property is excellent, thanks to the kind owners.
