Set in a gated area of the New Mills Marina, Derbyshire, is this inviting property, The Bike Shed.

Offering accommodation for up to ten guests, this traditional cottage provides a great base for a family escape.

After a day of exploring the town’s treasures, make yourself at home in the open-plan living area, tuning into the TV for some catchup whilst the woodburning stove gently crackles in the background.

Cross the threshold into the kitchen, where the house chef can impress the group with a home-made dish before everyone gathers at the dining table to share their holiday itinerary.

As the night grows dark, there are four bedrooms to choose from; on the ground-floor lies a bunk room, whilst upstairs there are two doubles which feature en-suite shower rooms and a double bunk.

The bunk bedrooms have access to the family shower room, so you won’t have to worry about queues in the morning!

Breakaway to The Bike Shed and experience this wonderful part of country, any time of year.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1126270, together they sleep fourteen people.

This is a gorgeous house, so spacious to accommodate our group of 10 and a dog.

Equipped with anything you could need and lovely bonus of a little corner with toys, games and dvds perfect for our 6 year old Grandson. There is a lovely walk just on your doorstep along the canal and through the woods which takes you along the river and up into the town. The local people were so lovely and helpful with advise of where to go and directions. Just one point to bear in mind the gates do get locked after a certain time so make sure you find this code before you leave the site, we were too excited and hadn't read our welcome pack

Excellent accomodation for a group of mountain bike riders.

Property was ready early, was clean and tidy. Excellent location right on the canal.

Location was perfect for us.

Kitchen well stocked. Ample parking. The only gripes we had are: two missing kitchen stools so we had to get chairs from the bedrooms. The large sofa has missing back cushions and there were only two scatter cushions which didnt help. One of the bedroom chairs needs the legs tightening. The cupboard door on the landing continously banged with the wind. The downstairs bedroom has the outside door which has a huge draft whistling through, and you can see outside through the wooden slats. The four bed shower was a dribble. Overall, it was very very good value and we had a great time.

The bike shed was spacious enough for our visit, it had some beautiful views straight from the balconies.

The marina is sited next to alot of garages, with a workshop right next door which was a little noisy at times. The bike shed was clean but there was old dusty cobwebs in every room above head height some even in the door ways. Every chair and sofa had seen better days apart from the two bar stools and the chair in the nook. All the dining chairs had no cushioning left in the seat, you basically sat on the frame with what was left of the leather covering. Noone used them they were too uncomfortable. The black sofa had rips behind the back cushions, and you sat so far back on the other sofa that it obviously was supposed to have a loose cushioned back, but only had two tiny scatter cushions. We had to use pillows to get comfortable. The beds were very firm with dips and rises in the mattresses, definitely need replacing. Only the main bathroom had a proper bathroom lock that you can unlock from outside all the enquires had a bolt, which resulted in someone being locked in as they couldn't unbolt it. It is very dangerous for the younger children. The ground floor ensuite was only lit by one down light which left it feeling dark, dingy and dirty. And their room door was not a fire door or substantial as it had wooden slats that you could see through the gaps in between, not very private for a bedroom. For 10 people sharing the kitchen did have two oven but the fridge and freezer where far too small. It was a good base but a bit rough around the edges. Would benefit from a bit of tlc.
