Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Peak District from this holiday cottage in peaceful neighbourhood, close to Holmfirth. Take off on country hikes from your front door or challenge yourself to follow a scenic cycle route. After long days out in the fresh air, choose to return to your three-bedroom holiday cottage, to relax in the hot tub and sauna
Your holiday cottage is a home for all seasons, with rooms and spaces to enjoy throughout the year. Your inviting first-floor lounge, for example, is the perfect place to unwind on in an evening, when you can watch TV or simply enjoy spending quality time with your friends and family. Prepare warming winter stews or light summer salads and lay your long dining table so everyone can pull up a chair. Bask in the warmth of the sunroom next door and perhaps unwind in here with a cup of coffee and the Sunday paper. Pull open the doors on a bright spring or autumn morning to wander out to your upper decked area and recline on a sun lounger. Head downstairs to discover another great space for days and evenings spent at home. Find a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a separate shower room at this level too. Two more bedrooms are situated on the floor above, together with your unique family bathroom, which features a stone sink, marble floor and spa bath. Those who enjoy soaking in the warmth of bubbling water can also luxuriate in the hot tub, which, together with the sauna, is situated in the summer house. Discover yet another relaxation area on your lower level decked area, where there is more space in which to enjoy the fresh summer air. Subject to availability, there is roadside parking at the property for up to two cars; additional parking is close by.
