About this property
Ashbourne 4.1 miles. Nestled in the quaint village of Thorpe, close to the thriving market town of Ashbourne, is this delightful semi-detached home, Cloud View Cottage. Offering views of Thorpe Cloud Fell, this welcoming abode is a great choice for families and friends looking to escape everyday life and explore the scenic Peak District National Park. After parking up in the designated parking space, unload your bags within the hall and discover the lounge, featuring a plush settee and two armchairs, perfect for unwinding on as you browse the Smart TV for your favourite series. As you build up an appetite, move into the kitchen/diner where a great wealth of appliances can assist throughout your stay, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and even a washing machine, so you can pop your muddy clothes on a spin! A door from the kitchen leads into the conservatory where you can sit back with a good book and enjoy some down time. When the night falls, head upstairs to find the bedrooms, including a king and two twins, each presented in neutral tones that make the space feel light and airy throughout. The family bathroom hosts a bath and shower over, so you can decide how best to prepare for the day. To the exterior of this Thorpe cottage is an extensive garden, boasting lawned sections and an elevated patio at the rear, perfect for enjoying a favourite beverage as you catch the last of the evening sun. From the garden you can also catch views of Thorpe Cloud Fell, a short climb which is awarded with beautiful views over Dovedale at the top. Head into the market town of Asbourne, situated four miles away, where you can wander through the cobbled streets and browse a range of quirky shops, before stopping off for a pint and a hearty dish at one of the many friendly pubs. If you’re seeking things to do without travelling far, take a tour of the wonderful Oswald’s Parish Church or Sudburgh Hall, while walkers and cyclists can embark on journey along the Tissington Trail - a gateway to Dovedale and the Pennine Bridleway, or venture through the lovely park and gardens of Ashbourne Park.

Spacious, welcoming accomodation providing all the facilities that are needed away from home. Great for our 4 legged friend. Would highly recommend!

However, beds hard, especially double bed and plastic sheets uncomfortable. Pans were not clean and big pan rusty. Couldn't see how fire in living room worked but would have made the room cosier. Couldn't get the TV to work for current channels- could only watch Prime videos without paying. Some information and instructions for the TV would have been useful.

Very well equipped, comfortable and a bonus were the views from the back of the house. Great hot tubs again with good views. We had a great week at Hillcrest House and would book again.
