Self-Catering Cottage near Ashbourne: Honeysuckle Cottage

The luxurious and romantic bedroom is found upstairs via a beautiful handmade oak staircase and dressing area. The elegant super-king-size “Poets Bed”, handcrafted in the local town of Matlock, takes centre stage. From the solid oak floor and original stone fireplace to the cosy snuggle seat and stunning lighting. No details have been overlooked.

The en-suite is, quite simply, beautiful! It boasts both a shower and a deep double freestanding bath with views from the floor-length window over the village to the hills beyond. Robes, slippers and toiletries are, of course, provided. So slip into the bath, lit overhead with a lovely chandelier, glass of bubbly in hand and watch village life unfold.

The superb handmade solid wood farmhouse style kitchen with oak beams, tiled floor, and stone lintel boasts all the usual facilities expected in such a luxurious space.

Guests will find a dishwasher, washer dryer, microwave, coffee machine, a farmhouse range cooker, retro fridge freezer and stunning lighting. This is the perfect space for a romantic ‘dinner a deux’.

The cosy, romantic, oak-beamed sitting room with a soft leather sofa, eclectic handmade Moroccan rug, large TV, and solid oak floor, is a lovely, intimate space to unwind in. Watch TV, challenge your nearest and dearest to play one of the many board games, curl up with a good book, or sit back with a glass of wine and relax.

Through the kitchen and out into the garden, the hot tub and sauna are waiting for you. In this private walled terrace, the Canadian Spa hot tub is permanently hot, bubbling and ready for our guests. Perched by its side is a superb, intriguing, red cedar barrel sauna, making this an intimate private spa just for two!

For those al fresco dining moments, a cosy corner has been set aside just where it catches the evening sun. This private, gated terrace leads through to the front of the cottage with a private drive and garden with views down the village and over to the hills beyond.
