Make your way upstairs to reach the sitting room, where two sofas sit before the TV, with a high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams adding character to the room. Relax here or head into the kitchen/diner to gather round the dining table for a family board game brought from home before you set the table for dinner. The farmhouse style kitchen comes well-equipped with all you could need, dominated by the AGA range cooker with 5-ring gas hob and complimented by lovely fixtures such as the Belfast sink and wooden units. Adjacent lies a utility room, home to a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and other amenities.

The garden is split over two levels and offers a tranquil spot for relaxing; at the lower level lies an artificial area with patio furniture whilst the upper is gravelled with further seating. Get to know your surroundings further by venturing along the River Wye, discovering quaint scenery along the way, before refuelling at the Anglers Rest, an 18th century country pub serving hearty comfort food and real ales. Venture to nearby Tideswell, one of the most ancient settlements in the central Peak District, home to some good pubs, fine local eateries, individual curiosity shops and a magnificent 14th century church.
