The Perfect Stay In The Heart Of The Peak District
The fully equipped kitchen gives the freedom to eat in when needed. Cooking can be done with ease using modern appliances and plenty of space for preparing meals, whether it’s a leisurely breakfast or a cosy dinner for two.
There’s so much space to truly unwind here, room to stretch out by the fire with a book in winter, and in summer, to throw open the patio doors, let the birdsong drift in, and lose yourself in a novel without feeling the walls close in. These cottages breathe.
Rest in Comfort in the luxurious king-size bed which promises a restful night’s sleep, with crisp linens and views that stretch for miles right from your window.
With a spacious upstairs bathroom with walk in shower and a handy downstairs WC, Pretty Wood Cottage offers the perfect blend of practicality and indulgence.
