The property
A stone-built end-terrace cottage located near the centre of Wirksworth, on the edge of the Peak District.
Designed with couples or a small family in mind, this one-of-a-kind retreat is an ideal place to relax, a wonderful blend of enticing features and homely décor to make your stay that much more comfortable.
Wander inside to the contemporary kitchen where you will enjoy preparing those appetising refreshments each day, before settling down in the lovely lounge.
Snuggle up in front of the woodburner, which features a wonderful stone surround, and a view over the street to bring the outside in.
Continue your nights in the traditional 'hidden cave,' a cosy little hideaway with its own hot tub, tucked away behind the kitchen and overlooked by low lighting.
Afterwards, choose from two first floor bedrooms for a peaceful night's sleep, the single bedroom boasts beams, spotlights, and lamps, all creating a quirky ambience, whilst the double room features wooden furnishings, and a Velux window; both benefiting from shared use of the bathroom with its overhead shower.
