Luxury Peak District Cottage in 5 acres, Private Pool, 2 miles from Ashbourne

Just 2 miles from the Georgian market town of Ashbourne, Swallows Cottage sits down a private lane, amidst 5 acres of gardens and orchards (help yourselves to plums, damsons and apples in Autumn.)

Take a footpath directly from your back door to the historical village of Tissington and beyond. Lounge by the private pool which is heated and open during the months of June, July & August. There's also a dining table by the pool - extend your evening in cooler months by lighting the Chesney's Woodburner/barbeque.

Curl up on the huge leather sofa watching one of the many dvd's in front of the wood burning stove in the sitting room, furnished with French antiques. There are plenty of books and games, too.

Rustle up your favourite meal in the well-equipped, large kitchen/dining room with large scrubbed pine table (seats 8) and Smeg fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer or treat yourself to a home-made ready meal from one of the delightful delicatessens in Ashbourne.

Coffee fans will be pleased to find a Delonghi Bean-to-Cup coffee machine, Nespresso Coffee machine and a La Cafetiere coffee jug.

Sleep peacefully in the antique four poster bed with crisp linen sheets -this room also has a tv - and far reaching views of the fields beyond. The cosy twin-bedded room has plenty of storage and we can also supply a travel cot and high chair, too.
Fluffy white towels, bath mats and all linen provided, including swimming towels.

Modern bathroom with limestone flooring and underfloor heating.

Derbyshire's Jewel in the Crown, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Kedleston Hall, Sudbury Hall and Alton Towers/Splash Landings are just 30 minutes away.

Enjoy traditional local pubs, gastro pubs and restaurants with excellent food and real fires. Award-winning Callow Hall in Ashbourne is only 5 minutes away. Those looking for a traditional British pub will love "The Old Gate" in Brassington - about 5 miles away - roaring log fires, delicious pub food and really welcoming hosts. The Duncombe Arms at Ellastone is another favourite (about 25 mins away) - charming gastro pub with a great, buzzy atmosphere. The Red Lion at Hognaston serves delicious meals, too.

Try horse trekking at Tissington, action-packed fun at Alton Towers, Cycling and Sailing at Carsington Water.

Kitchen basics - tea, coffee, sugar, spices, dish tabs, washing powder all included.

You will have private patio with seating for four and a Weber charcoal bbq. There's a full information book in the cottage with plenty of suggestions of things to do, places to eat and some amazing walks, too.
