Travel to the rear of the home, benefitting from off-road parking, before heading through the multi-level garden, complete with a outdoor furniture and a barbecue for alfresco mealtimes, in addition to a lovely summerhouse which offers an additional spot to lounge and unwind. Step indoors, firstly reaching the well-equipped kitchen, where you'll find a gas Range, a microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, to ease your stay.

Once you're ready to explore, start off locally in Bakewell, where you'll find a host of independent shops, traditional taverns, Thornbridge Brewery, where you can sample some local produce, the stunning Bakewell Bridge, and Bakewell Old House Museum. Travelling north, head to Speedwell Cavern and the Blue John Cavern, both recommended to tour, before climbing up to the Derwent Dam Viewpoint, offering breath-taking, countryside views. Buxton is a key area of interest to add to your itinerary, with the Poole's Cavern attraction on offer, the Buxton Museum & Art Gallery to discover, and Solomon’s Temple to visit, before rerouting towards Matlock, home to Gulliver's Kingdom, Lumsdale Waterfall, and The Great Masson Cavern.
