    We liked that it was in such a quiet area. The owner left us some bread, milk and eggs which is a lovely touch. We are lactose intolerant so couldn't enjoy them. The instructions we're very clear and it was easy to find.

Our Apartment Studio is set on a small farm in a rural location and offers a cosy retreat ideal for exploring the Derbyshire Dales countryside and relaxing walks and excellent country pubs. We are country lovers and will be happy to give tips on the local area for great days out. We are close to Alton Towers, Chatsworth, Carsington Water and Dovedale. There are many doorstep walks and Osmaston Estate is a favourite with beautiful lakes and historic pasture.Bonnie Prince Charlie way is within site of our property and offers beautiful, scenic walks. Please note the Apartment is up a flight of stairs on the first floor and unfortunately not suitable for people who require disabled access.
We will be on hand to welcome guests to this lovely countryside location and help as required during your stay. Our guests’ privacy is our priority, however please ask if you need local information.
We live in the heart of Derbyshire Dales with gentle, rolling hills and peaceful countryside. We are quite close to Alton Towers for guests who wish for an adventure on the famous Theme Park. Osmaston Park Wedding Venue is very near and the wonderful Peak District is close by. Chatsworth House is worth a visit while you are in the Derbyshire Dales. Ashbourne is a great place to visit to browse the artisan cafes and bars and little shops. We have some excellent pubs nearby.
