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 you could want

This was our second visit. This is a really well-designed and characterful small cottage with a large (and warm!) private pool a short distance across the garden. There are fabulous views of the lower part of the White Peak area from the cottage, and walks from the door or from Ilam - a couple of miles away. The hosts offer a warm welcome. Another great stay.

Beyond expectations

We were delighted to be able to stay at Thorpe Cloud View for 3 nights just before Christmas to celebrate my 40th. The cottage itself is spacious and really well equipped for a comfortable stay. We especially liked the Christmas trees and the cosy feel with the fireplace. The pool was simply incredible and equally as well kept and equipped as the cottage. The little touches like plenty of towels were much appreciated! Last but not least the hosts were brilliant. Ray was super friendly and personable. He took the time to make sure we found the right driveway (in the rain!) and helped get us settled so quickly. Many thanks again for opening your home to us. We look forward to returning in 2025 so that we can explore this beautiful part of the country. Best wishes.

Fantastic cottage for our short break. Communication with owner and directions to the property were perfect. The cottage was spotless on arrival and the pool was even better than the photos. The surrounding area was beautiful and great for walking. All in all one of the best short breaks we’ve ever had.

Fantastic Peaks Property

We had a fabulous 3- night break at this beautiful property. Ray, the property owner, was very welcoming and helpful and the property itself is perfectly located, spotlessly clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The swimming pool is a fantastic feature which we made use of every day. A great short break and we will definitely be returning.

Lovely, well equipped cottage. Small for a family of 4x, but that is what we expected and it is how the place is described. However, the location, hosts and the exclusive use of the fantastic (large!) indoor pool all meant we had a brilliant stay and would happily return another time….

Thorpe Cloud Cottage - EXCELLENT

This was an excellent cottage in a very quiet location and having our own pool was perfect. The hosts were great and on site, provided everything you needed (including a nice bottle of Prosecco) - But left us enough space to enjoy our holiday. I would definitely recommend this for a quiet, peaceful getaway and an opportunity to explore the Peak District, as the location is perfect for either walking or driving around. I am sure we will be returning !!

Clean well appointed cottage in beautiful surroundings

A delightful cottage. Roomy, clean and well appointed. En suite and separate shower room. Private and lovely views from the back. Front shares a drive with the main house (which is not visible from the sitting area at the back) and access to the separate swimming pool building. The pool is excellent with a good length for swimming, and with an attached jacuzzi. Overall an excellent base for relaxing and exploring the Derbyshire countryside.
