About this property
A luxurious three bedroom cottage, sleeping up to 6 guests, with a log burning stove and secluded garden, hidden away in a picturesque Peak District hamlet.
Springfield is an utterly wonderful barn conversion with its decor and furnishings providing the ultimate in luxury. Hidden away in Aldwark, a peaceful and picturesque little hamlet on the edge of the Peak District National Park, it is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside. Inside has been totally refurbished to a brilliant standard and interior designed with attention to detail rippling throughout the cottage. The lounge is cosy with comfy sofas, cushions and a glowing log burning stove. The dining kitchen is spacious and extremely well fitted with everything you’ll need for your stay. The sunny conservatory is a super place to relax with a book. The three super-king/king-size bedrooms each have their own bath/shower rooms.
Sit in the garden and just listen to the silence. Walk or cycle off along one of the trails or just wander along for a pint in Aldwalk's little farm based brewery. Wirksworth town is only a short drive away with its heritage trail and railway, an array of local and interesting shops, friendly pubs and restaurants and even a little cinema. If you’ve come for an active holiday then this is the place for you, with Carsington Water close by with water sports, cycle hire, birdwatching, children's playground and visitor centre. If you are wanting to explore the rest of Derbyshire then you’re not too far from Matlock Bath with its cable cars soaring in the sky, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or even pop to Bakewell one afternoon to sample its famous Pudding. On the way back, stop by one of the many friendly local country pubs for a pint before returning to the cottage to relax and reminisce about your day.

As you will see from our ratings, we were delighted with this cottage but please see the following suggestions to improve it further. We noticed that the rug under the dining table was curling at the corners which could have been a trip hazard and we suggest that this is replaced in keeping with the high standard of the other furnishings. We would have appreciated a toast rack and noticed that this was mentioned in the visitor's bookas well. Otherwise it was very well equipped.

We absolutely loved this cottage. The location was amazing - remote, so you felt you were properly in the countryside, but only 2 mins drive away from more major roads which then got us easily to every location in the Peak District. The location was one of the very best we’ve had in the UK. The property was absolutely amazing. It had lots of equipment you don’t normally find in properties like tons of toilet rolls and kitchen roll, bin bags & washing up liquid. Even kitchen foil! The kitchen was lovely to cook in and had everything you might need. There was also an insulated cafetière which came in handy, and an ice cube tray in the freezer. We loved the log burning fire in the lounge and the tv had access to Netflix and BBC iplayer which we appreciated. We had many happy evenings snuggled up watching TV. There was also a sun room which was lovely to sit and relax (we were pretty lucky with the weather). The children loved the table tennis in the games room, and there was plenty of room several cars on the driveway. The showers had great water pressure and all the bathrooms were to a very high standard. The beds were large and comfortable and the cottage was very spacious. There were plenty of amazing pubs serving wonderful food in nearby towns and villages. We would definitely come back again.

A beautifully appointed property with comfort obviously at the top of the owners list. The sun room was a welcome extra when we wanted to sit and read. Plenty of parking and wonderful views.
