Hartington 3.7 miles. Tucked away within splendid Peak District National Park is this attractive, single-storey barn conversion. Shepherds Retreat is a chocolate box property welcoming couples looking to break away from normal life and place themselves in the heart of Derbyshire’s fine countryside. Boasting an open-plan aspect and beautiful exposed crick barn beams, this cottage is full of character and makes a lovely base to return to each evening. Spend your down time beside the woodburning stove, resting your legs after a day of rambling, or take to the amply-equipped kitchen to prepare a hearty feast, offering all the essential appliances, crockery and cooking utensils needed for a short break. Sit at the dining table and toast to a charming getaway with your loved one, or perhaps the sound of alfresco dining on a warm summer evening is more to your taste? Freshen up within the walk-in shower in the shower room before making yourself at home within the double bedroom, with excellent solid oak furniture to make use of. However you decide to spend your holiday, Shepherds Retreat is a great base for exploring the whole of the Peak District. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1073049, 1073047, together sleeping up to 14 guests.

Resting in a tranquil position within the south of the Peak District National Park, is this quaint village of Hartington. The village offers a selection of pubs, tea rooms and local shops, along with a bustling market square. The encompassing towns and villages of Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock all offer superb days out, and there are many breath-taking walking/cycling routes to be explored.
