The property

The Dovecote is a stunning cottage situated within the grounds of Hopton Hall, near the stunning Peak District National Park in the hamlet of Hopton, Derbyshire.

With off-road parking and EV charging available, some family-friendly facilities and access to a swimming pool and extensive grounds, this retreat offers an ideal base for families or friends seeking a delightful countryside escape.

Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a well-equipped kitchen/diner, perfect for preparing home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table.

Stylish hanging lamps cast a warm glow over the wooden table, while exposed beams above add rustic charm to this appealing space.

Whether you're whipping up a hearty breakfast or baking treats with loved ones, the harmonious layout and thoughtful touches make this kitchen a joy to cook in.

Climb the carpeted stairs and push open a wooden door to reveal the first-floor sitting room, a delightful space overlooking the courtyard.

Here, you can unwind after a day of exploring the Peak District, perhaps with a good book or a favourite film.

A corner pink sofa invites you to sink in and relax, complemented by a quaint lamp and an armchair nestled beside the feature fireplace.

Framed pictures add character to the walls, creating an elegant and peaceful atmosphere.

As the day winds down, retreat to one of the two inviting bedrooms: a spacious king-size room with exposed beams, and a private en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin, and WC; or a charming zip and link room, also with beams and a quaint dressing table—both providing the perfect sanctuary to rest and recharge.

The property further includes a sleek bathroom styled in soft pink and grey tones, adorned with neatly hung pictures, and equipped with a bath with a shower over, basin, and WC—ideal for a relaxing soak after a day of adventures.

Outside, guests have access to the extensive grounds of Hopton Hall, providing ample space for leisurely strolls or picnics in the sun.

Additionally, the property boasts access to a shared swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip on a warm summer's day.

A journey awaits beyond Hopton Hall's gates, in the dazzling Derbyshire countryside.

Admire historical charm at the CRICH Tramway Village, where restored trams tell the story of a bygone era, or for a day packed with family fun, seek out Gulliver's Kingdom where a host of rides and attractions cater to a wide range of ages.

Furthermore, you can delve beneath the surface into the renowned Peak Cavern, colloquially known as the ‘Devil’s Arse’, ready to astound with a labyrinth of natural chambers and waterworn passages.

After a day spent exploring the incredible local sights and sounds, your serene haven at The Dovecote awaits to wrap you in relaxation and ease.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
