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 spa town of Matlock, takes centre stage. So from the solid oak floor and original stone fireplace to the cosy snuggle seat and stunning lighting, no detail has been overlooked.

The en-suite is, quite simply, beautiful! It boasts a deep double freestanding bath with views from the floor length window over the village to the hills beyond, and a large separate shower. 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.

Through the kitchen, where the sun streams in in the early evening, the hot-tub and sauna are waiting. 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 private drive and garden with views down the village and over to the hills beyond. Part of the garden has been carefully planted in a cottage garden style, adorned with some rather special giant wooden mushrooms!
