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.

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.

A great place to stay!
We had a lovely stay here. It was spotless, well equipped and the host Ray was friendly and helpful with any requests. Thank you for the milk too, it was much appreciated! We loved the private swimming pool, this is a great feature to have after exploring the local area. We hope to come back again next year!

A lovely cottage in a great location and so handy for the hike up Thorpe Cloud and to Dove Holes. Peaceful in the evenings watching the light changing over Thorpe Cloud. And the pool is brilliant. If only the weather hadn't let us down.

Great location
The cottage was lovely and warm and has all the little extras you don’t always get, such as boxes of tissues, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. The pool was spotless and so warm. Garden and view was beautiful. We could easily walk to Thorpe Cloud and the nearest pub. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property & Location
The cottage was even better than expected, and was warm, comfortable, very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. Set in a quiet, and peaceful location, with views of the surrounding countryside. The swimming pool was definitely an added bonus, and was much bigger than it looks on the photos. We really enjoyed our stay, and didn't want to leave.

Pure Bliss!
What a little gem of a property, my husband and I found ourselves daydreaming about winning the lottery and living in this cottage for the rest of our days! We were so lucky with the weather, the setting is beautiful. The cottage was clean and very warm and cosy - I will say from the pictures I thought it may be a little cold, but it definitely wasnt! Also cute flowers on our arrival and an anniversary card! So thoughtful. The pool area was immaculate and the pictures do not do it justice, the size is perfect and my glasses steamed up just walking through the doors! The bed was super comfy and I have now actually purchased the same bedding! All in all a perfect trip that will not be forgotten, thank you so much 😊

Stunning
The cottage was really quaint and everything in it was of excellent quality The owner was available if required but did not interfere in our break. The pool and hot-tub were a real luxury, amazingly clean and very private. As for the location, wow, stunning views, really quiet and surrounded by beautiful walk opportunities. This is a perfect getaway from life’s hustles, a place to completely recharge your batteries.

Great short break in a wonderful part of the country
A well-equipped warm and comfortable cottage with some very thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub just across the path - which were private and surprisingly large. The cottage was brilliantly situated for Dovedale and Ilam Park in the immediate vicinity - and the rest of the Peak District to the North and North West. Larger towns such as Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton are a shortish drive on good roads. Hosts were welcoming - we had a much needed few days in a lovely place.

A Tranquil Haven on the Border of the Peak District
Our recent stay at this delightful cottage, perched on the border of the Peak District, was a truly enchanting experience. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this hidden gem was destined to be a memorable retreat. Nestled against the backdrop of the picturesque Peak District, the cottage boasts a quaint charm that immediately transports you to a world of tranquillity. The location offers the best of both worlds – the peaceful seclusion of the countryside and easy access to the stunning landscapes that define this remarkable region. The private swimming pool, a rare find in this area, added an extra layer of luxury to our stay. It provided a refreshing oasis where we could unwind and soak in the natural beauty that surrounds the property. The pool area was meticulously maintained, offering a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the charming villages and scenic landscapes nearby. In conclusion, this cottage on the border of the Peak District is a true haven for those seeking a tranquil escape. With its perfect blend of comfort, charm, and natural beauty, it offers a unique retreat that will leave you with cherished memories. We wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to experience the best of both worlds in this enchanting part of the country.
