  • "First the only minor negative."

    there were too many scented candles and sticks around the property which was a little overwelming for my sensitive eyes This property is immaculate from top to bottom and one of the best we have ever stayed in, and thats a lot over the years, Bathroom and bedroom quality, from the decor and fittings to the lovely soft towels and bedding. Furniture and fittings throughout home are matched by the decor and are very good quality. The conservatory is beautifully furnished and with the lovely private garden makes makes this a wonderful home. Not far to walk into the town which has every thing you need . Thank you to the owners for presenting such a wonderfull property and we would certainly recommend it . We also hope to return next year

    Many thanks for your feedback. We take on board your comments regarding the scented candles and aroma sticks and have now removed the majority. We are pleased that you enjoyed our property and look forward to you staying with us again. May we also thank you for leaving the property in a clean condition. Property Owner

  • "Very clean and comfortable."

    Many homely touches, not always to our taste as scented candles/ fluffy cushions too abundant and a slight shortage of practical items such as mugs and cutlery, but even so it felt welcoming. There was a problem with the sticking lock on front door which we're told will be addressed, fingers crossed, as we have made 3 more bookings at the property! Garden felt private, despite being close to other properties, and all was peaceful. Conveniently close to Sutton town centre with shopping and a lovely park ( The Lawns) and nearby cycling/walking trails. Thank you.

  • "The cottage was clean, comfortable and the finishing touches were amazing."

    The conservatory in the mornings was wonderful to relax over a cuppa. All in all we had a wonderful week.

    Thank you for the feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We would also like to thank you for leaving the property clean and tidy on departure and welcome you to stay again. Property Owner

The property

Alexandra Retreat, a delightful house nestled in the town of Sutton-In-Ashfield, is just a short drive to the Peak District National Park.

Perfect for families, two couples or friends seeking an escape with plenty of closeby amenities, this abode offers off-road parking and an enclosed garden with outdoor seating.

Park the cars outside this home, then make your way to the front door.

Upon entering, head to the stylish, contemporary and spacious kitchen.

Heat up the hob and oven, or pop a snack in the microwave to enjoy at the breakfast bar seating.

For family feasts, pull out a chair at the large dining table in the dining room and tuck into your delicious meal, whilst planning the adventures ahead.

After plates are cleared, feel the carpet beneath your feet in the sitting room and pick between a loveseat set within the bay window or a corner sofa, with space to lounge with your feet up.

Snuggle up as you flick on the Smart TV for a cushy movie night.

Ascend the stairs in the evening to soak in the bath before bed, or opt for a shower with the towel rail warming up your nightwear.

There are two bedrooms to choose from: a spacious king-size one and a double.

In the morning, enjoy some quiet time in the conservatory with ample seating to enjoy a book.

Head out to the garden to enjoy a brew in the morning, or to relax in the evening.

Admire the advanced architecture at Hardwick Hall, a 16th-century country house.

Harry Potter fans can snap a picture at Lucious Malfoy's mansion to show their friends, roam through the formal gardens and view the collection of tapestries here.

Pack your provisions and take a drive to Peak District National Park, map out your hiking trails, see the sheep grazing in the fields, admire the stunning views and moorland, and then refuel at a pub to keep you going.

Visit Creswell Crags, an archaeological site containing a museum in a limestone gorge, look out for the cave art, take a guided tour to learn more about the exhibits, and mark your visit with a trip to the gift shop.

After a day of trekking through the hills of the Peak District, return to Alexandra Retreat to unwind.
