Escape to the Peak District countryside and discover a working farm lodge where spectacular views stretch across rolling pastures to Carsington Water. This peaceful retreat is perfect for couples seeking a romantic break surrounded by nature, where you can unwind watching Belted Galloway cows and Shire horses graze in the meadows. What sets this property apart is its dedicated exercise and relaxation room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the countryside – ideal for morning yoga sessions or mindful meditation as the sun rises over the water.
Step into the open-plan living space where large windows frame the surrounding landscape like a living painting. The comfortable lounge centres around a crackling wood burner, creating the perfect atmosphere for cosy evenings together on the sofa. Cook romantic meals in the compact kitchen featuring an electric oven, gas hob and dishwasher, then dine at the extendable table while admiring the views. The double bedroom offers built-in wardrobes and a comfortable bed, while the spacious bathroom features an electric shower over the bath. Outside, relax on the front decked area and soak up those sublime vistas, or enjoy evening BBQs on the private rear patio. Direct access to walking routes and bridleways means you can explore straight from your doorstep without needing the car.
Your central location puts you within easy reach of the Peak District's finest attractions. Try windsurfing on Carsington Water or explore historic Ashbourne town centre just 3 miles away. Walk to the village pub for excellent food and locally produced cider, or venture further to discover Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the Heights of Abraham. The Tissington and Monsal Trail offer traffic-free cycling and walking, while thrill-seekers can reach Alton Towers for an action-packed day out. With both the tranquil countryside and vibrant market towns at your fingertips, you'll find the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
