About this property

Trail View - Stunning Cottage -Patio- views to the High Peak Trail/Peak District

Trail View is a beautiful detached converted cottage situated to the left of our courtyard setting with views across the open countryside and the High Peak Trail. The ideal cottage for families, or couples who want that bit more space. The cottage is on a single level, and has a private lawn and patio area to the rear of the property, perfect for watching the sun set and enjoy the surrounding views during the summer months.

Enter the cottage through the main door at the end of the cottage into the modern oak beamed kitchen with all modern appliances. Onto the spacious lounge with a large and smaller window with views out into the courtyard. Down the hallway the family bathroom with bath, WC, sink unit, heated towel rail a mirror. A little further and we have the twin bedroom with two single beds, wardrobe, drawers and bedside cabinet. Finally, at the end of the hallway is the main double bedroom with one double bed, wardrobe, drawers and bedside cabinet along with en-suite with shower, WC and sink unit.

Explore the outdoors....we have our own direct access onto the High Peak Trail, perfect for those who love walking or cycling (bring your own bike and store in our secure cycle storage). Enjoy the surrounding Peak District - the stunning Chatsworth House is just a 25 minute drive away, Haddon Hall just 20 minutes. Visit the picturesque villages of Monyash, Youlgrave and Hartington on your way home or enjoy a walk around the nearby Carsington Water. Prefer something a little more adventurous? Travel a little further and visit Alton Towers, just 40 minutes away.

We are located centrally to the nearby towns of Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne and Buxton - all just a 20-25 minute drive away. All these towns have the major supermarkets along with their own unique shops.

Unfortunately, we do not accept pets in our cottage. And another thing to note is that we close over the festive period each year. For 2024 we have introduced a 24volt EV Charger-Free for a 3/4/7 night stay. Please bear in mind there is no hot tub at this property.

Excellent hospitality, great location

No exaggeration, I would give 6 stars if it would be available. Judith is excellent as host, she was always prompt at replies, very helpful with logistics and advices about area. Everything at home was prepared in detail, gift basket with chocolate easter eggs, biscuits, log burner ready to fire with kindling and newspapers, oven tray ready with foil, so many things thought in detail we stayed in many short rental homes, this is the best ever hospitality we experienced .Location was also perfect for us , it is on High Peak Bike Trail with a lot of instruction material available at home to pick the routes for biking. We so much enjoyed staying 3 nights. Thank you so much Judith.

Perfect Peak District Holiday

We had a great time at Trail View. The property was just as described, and was spotless on arrival. With a large twin bedroom along with another large double room it was perfect for two adults and two children, with enough outdoor space for them to exercise themselves whilst being watched by the neighbouring cows! Trail View's location is pretty central for most of the Peak District, and we were within 25 minutes of much of what we wanted to do, with some excellent pubs within a 10 minute drive for family friendly meals out.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely location

The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped, and, having thick stone walls, remained wonderfully cool during the four hot days we were there. Its location amongst gently undulating hills is lovely, and very convenient for tourist attractions in Cromford, Matlock etc. We were given a very generous welcome pack, including tasty cheeses from nearby Hartington. Our second visit, and would definitely go back there again.

A beautiful cottage, in a lovely location

A beautifully furnished cottage, immaculately clean, and well equipped. Very quiet location, amongst several other attractive stone farm building conversions, on the edge of the small village of Pikehall. Convenient for many places of interest, such as Cromford Mills, Buxton and Chatsworth.

A lovely cottage

This was a great cottage to stay in. It was really clean and well equipped. It was like it was all new. We have stayed in a few cottages in the Peak District and this was our favourite. The kitchen is really nice and spacious and the lounge is very cosy. The bathrooms are clean and modern. We particularly liked the location of the cottage with the High Peak Trail running behind it on the horizon, it was nice to have a cup of tea and watch the cyclists go past in the distance. We would definitely recommend it and like to return.

Amazing, loved everything and every minute there

Perfect location and property for us and our young son. The private patio and garden out back was brilliant and the views of the trail wonderful and relaxing. We didn't use the car one day as the direct access to the trail meant we could enjoy the area without the need to drive anywhere. Our son spent hours playing outside and watching the cows in the field. We had a lovely welcome from the owner and a couple of lovely chats during our stay too. We'll definitely be back as soon as we can!!

Lovely, spacious converted barn in Beautiful, quiet location.

Very comfortable, well presented, well decorated converted barn in quiet location. Well equipped and has an outside space for barbecues with great views of surrounding countryside. Lots of walks nearby as well as easy access to local villages and towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne. Good pubs a short drive away and locals were so friendly and helpful.

Visiting Derbyshire

The Standard throughout the property is very high and the fact that it was all on one level was great for the one of our party with serious disabilities. Access to both the Peaks and the Dales, Chatsworth etc was easy as our holiday was touring rather than walking. We will certainly recommend the properties.

Beautiful accommodation in a good location.

First impressions were, it looked exactly like the photos online. The cottage looks to be a converted stable block and is spacious and comfortable. The cottage was extremely clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. Plenty of storage space for your clothes, wardrobes with loads of hangers and draw space. On arrival we were met by the owner, Judith who had noticed us driving around earlier and had gone to the cottage to put the heating on (we'd arrived a little earlier than arrival time stipulated). A the bottle of wine, Easter eggs for the kids and fresh flowers greeted us, which were much appreciated. We also found a pint of milk and tea and coffee making facilities to hand, which was great after a long journey, before unpacking the car. The kitchen equipment, cooker, dishwasher, hob, microwave etc were all high spec and easy to use. The location is fairly isolated and very quiet but right on top of the high peak trail. Having said that you are only a short car ride away from the surrounding villages and it's a great central location. Marvellous. Throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of the country.
