The Croft

About this property

The Croft is a lovingly restored single-storey barn conversion nestled in the small village of Hollington, Derbyshire, surrounded by beautiful open countryside. Suited to a couple, with an exceptional contemporary design and an abundance of natural light flooding the rooms and proximity to Peak District National Park. Decorated and furnished to a very high standard, this charming cottage has one bedroom with a king-sized bed, a generous en-suite shower room as well as a welcoming open plan living space. It also benefits from an enclosed garden in which to sit out and relax, enjoying lovely views of the beautiful surrounding countryside and amazing sunsets.

The village of Hollington and neighbouring villages offer a range of country pubs, some within walking distance, serving exceptional food and drink. Surrounded by local walks to take you through to Osmaston Park and on to neighbouring villages. Visit the nearby market town of Ashbourne with its eccentric street plan, Georgian buildings and good selection of inns and restaurants. Take advantage of excellent cycling routes including the Tissington Trail and enjoy the many other surrounding activities ranging from golfing, water sports to quad biking. The Peak District has so much to offer including the famous Alton Towers theme park and nature lovers will enjoy the nature reserve of Dovedale with its wooded ravines and walking paths.

The Croft truly is a delightful choice for a rural based holiday in the Peak District. This property can be booked alongside The Byre (Reference 933893), together sleeping 6.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, the lovely village of Hollington, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, provides home to a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, whilst being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. In its heyday, during the 18th century, the town was a fashionable social centre and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer with a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by offering good walking and cycling, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
