Nestling in a peaceful location in the picturesque village of Kniveton and dating back to 1750, this former diary offers quality accommodation, equipped and furnished to a very good standard with flair and imagination. Retaining much of the original charm and character, with exposed stonework and lots of interesting nooks and features, this delightful holiday cottage, with strong Wi-Fi signal, situated adjacent to the owners’ home, is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful area. The accommodation includes one double bedroom and one twin, a bathroom, a well-appointed and spacious kitchen/dining room and comfortable living area with a TV and DVD player.

The Red Lion pub is only a short stroll down the hill, which serves a wide selection of interesting beers and wine, and freshly-cooked food using local ingredients. The charming little church which is next door is famous for its tower and font, both dating back to the 13th Century. Miles of public footpaths cross the rolling fields all around, and there are many walks starting from the front door. The market town of Ashbourne, ;Gateway to the Peak District’ is only 3 miles away where guests will find a good choice of shops, restaurants and pubs. Carsington Water is just up the road, with its visitors centre, sailing, windsurfing, rafting and canoeing and children’s play area to explore. Beautiful Dovedale, famous for its stepping stones, and Black Rocks Country Park are a short drive away. Other places to visit include antique shopping in Matlock and Wirksworth; ascending to the Heights of Abraham by cable car in the old Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath; and cycling the path of the old Ashbourne to Buxton railway line along the Tissington Trail. Chatsworth House, Buxton, Bakewell and the Potteries are also within 40 minutes drive. Not forgetting the UK’s premier theme park, Alton Towers which is 20 miles away. Shop 3 miles, pub ½ mile and restaurant 1 mile.
