The sitting room offers a lovely space to unwind after a day of exploration, open the bifold doors to the garden room to enjoy the evening sun over the river. Original beams overhead and plush seating to sink into, light the woodburning stove before partaking in a competitive evening of boardgames. The garden room offers an additional space to sit and enjoy the views, the perfect nook to escape from the rest of the home with a good book and glass of wine, or why not enjoy an alfresco evening, overlooking the breath-taking river while having a relaxing soak in the hot tub. When it’s time to rest, the cottage boasts three thoughtfully-appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size bedroom (zip and link), a king-size bed to the upper floor and another king-size bedroom to the ground floor, all serviced by a sleek bathroom, housing both a bath and walk-in shower. The ground floor has a separate WC and basin facility. Toll Bar Cottage provides the perfect base to explore Baslow, a quaint village of historical structures, its mediaeval bridge next to the cottage, independent boutiques, and traditional inns. For a day out, visit the nearby Chatsworth House, the magnificent home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, brimming with exquisite architecture, beautiful gardens, and vibrant events, or take a trip to the bustling town of Bakewell, renowned for its pastries, local markets, and outdoor activities. There is a bus stop right outside the property where you can catch a bus that will take you all around the Peak District.

Take a leisurely stroll along the River Derwent or nearby Wye or experience the beauty of the Peak District National Park with its diverse landscape of hills, dales, and moorland, or head into Buxton to tour Poole's Cavern, hike up to Solomon’s Temple and visit The Buxton Crescent Experience. No matter what you choose, a getaway to Toll Bar Cottage is sure to provide a wealth of memories for everyone.

The pretty village of Baslow lies at the north end of stately Chatsworth House - home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The village has many unusual and picturesque features including a triple-arched river bridge guarded by a toll house whose doorway is only 3 1/2 feet high! Baslow offers a range of village amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants. Close by is Bakewell, the capital of the Peak District, and home of the famous Bakewell pudding (definitely not tart!), still made locally to an old and secret recipe. Bakewell is at the scenic heart of the Peak District, and with Alton Towers also within easy touring distance, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
