An ancient and charming village at the northern end of Dovedale, Hartington is a perfect base to explore this incredible region. Boasting a world-famous cheese shop and some superb independent establishments, the village is also midway between Buxton (12 miles) and Bakewell (11 miles). This delightful barn conversion is set on the owner’s working farm, 1.5 miles from Hartington, amidst blissful scenery. Right on the doorstep, explore the Tissington Trail through Dovedale to Ilam (6. 5 miles), through dales, caves and wooded valleys, alongside the exquisite River Dove. The High Peak Trail’s 18-mile odyssey is equally marvellous for foot, hoof or cycle; catch it at Parsley Hay, 2 miles from Hartington. The cottage’s interior is both quaint and comfortably modern, with old beams and sleek lines, tiles, wood, stone, fabrics and floors all in perfect harmony. The ground floor double bedroom is a beautifully tranquil space, with its turned wooden bed, Art Deco wardrobe, elegant lighting and matching fabrics. Also on this floor is the second bedroom with twin beds with lovely exposed beams. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a joy for convivial coffee mornings and glowing wine soirees; the Welsh dresser and old stone fireplace, leather sofa and armchair are lovely features. Relax amidst stunning views on the outdoor patio, and dream of what’s to come. The scented terraces of Thornbridge Hall Gardens, Tudor majesty of Haddon Hall and the farm shop, grounds and art collection of Chatsworth House are unforgettable (all within 17 miles). Indulge in a cultural night at Buxton Opera, make a pudding pilgrimage to Bakewell and buy a unique Blue John keepsake in the magnificent caverns of Castleton (22 miles). Send adrenaline soaring at Alton Towers (16 miles) or have a go at paragliding from the Shivering Mountain (22 miles); take the glorious Limestone Way from Castleton via Cave Dale, Mam Tor and Great Ridge, to Hope (16 miles). Whatever you do, you’ll count the days until you can return.
