Situated on the northern reaches of Dovedale and boasting a plethora of exciting hiking trails, this grand property in the village of Parsely Hay is luxurious and inviting. Sleeping six in utter seclusion, you’ll soon be navigating some of the best walking routes in the Peak District from your doorstep followed by leisurely evenings snuggled up by the wood burner.

Follow the driveway and be immediately greeted by the impressive exterior that continues in the same vein when you step inside. Tiled flooring leads to a fabulous kitchen that is kept toasty by an AGA, and there is a second kitchen that will delight any keen cook. Dine in style in the cheerful dining room with its vaulted ceiling and bright decor, then retreat to the lounge to sink into the sofas and snooze in the glow of the wood burner. If you need some peace and quiet, you’ll find a cosy resting spot with views across the gardens, watching the youngsters play board games on the ample lawn space. There is a patio with BBQ for al fresco dining, or why not enjoy a picnic on warm evenings. At bedtime, there are three bedrooms to choose from, all served by the elegant family bathroom.

A top destination for cyclists, your accommodation is close to the renowned Tissington Trail and the High Peak Trail. You can also soak up the scenery of the White Peak and South West Peak whilst gliding along traffic-free routes. Slightly further afield, Hartington (4 miles) is a traditional limestone village with a picturesque duck pond and several inviting shops selling delicious local produce. Chatsworth House can also be reached within 12 miles, offering a chance to step back in time as you explore the gardens and grounds.
