5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)

5 Star holiday cottage with its own private indoor pool. Situated in Thorpe, a delightful village at the southern end of the White Peak area of the Peak National Park, Thorpe Cloud View cottage is a charming holiday location within the four-acre grounds of, but set apart from, Thorpe House, a late Georgian limestone grade two listed building of considerable character. The cottage, allocated the top rating of five stars, has uninterrupted views of Thorpe Cloud, at the entrance to Dovedale, the limestone gorge which separates Derbyshire and Staffordshire. The surrounding areas provide excellent walking. The picturesque Derbyshire market town of Ashbourne is just some 3 miles away; the spa town of Buxton, and the historic houses of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall and Kedleston are all within easy access. Alton Towers, the UK’s largest leisure park is only a twenty-minute drive away. Arrival is from 3pm and departure before 9:30am.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and an electric kettle.

Everything about this property was first class. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, we used them every morning. The location of the property meant that we rarely needed to use the car and could go on several hikes around the beautiful hills and valleys straight from the house.The luxury of the log burner in the lounge was a treat in the evenings so much so we turned the central heating off so we could enjoy evenings by the fire.The owners have thought of everything and we can’t think of anything we lacked.Ray met us on arrival and gave us a tour of the property, which far surpassed expectations. We will definitely be back

Everything was plain sailing (a little hiccup) just yards away from the property (this teensy matter could be averted by a little arrow on the existing property signs) We had a nice welcome chat with the owner, Ray who was welcoming and convivial but he does observe the holiday makers total privacy (no big brother style here) but is on hand should you need to make any enquiry. Pristine perfect and great cozy comfort. A idyllic spot for walkers, cyclists, scranners, swimmers, writers, artists or a could combination of a few! I have to say we found (talking of scranners) that we found some good eateries. The pool was a great boon and we enjoyed our leisurely swims (no hour or two restrictions -brilliant) A new part of the world for us and a great place for a few days break off season or longer during other seasons.

We were welcomed on arrival and given a brief but thorough run through of the facilities as well as being shown the information folder (which came in very handy). The cottage itself was fantastic. Warm and cosy, with amazing views. The pool area is incredible and makes the cost of the booking feel very reasonable. Local pub is great and only a 15 minute walk. Will definitely be returning.
Fantastic pool and jacuzzi area - private
Warm, cosy fire, easy to operate
View from the side of the cottage, a lovely walk in any weather.
