When you think of rural properties, you don't immediately think of an apartment. However, not everybody wants a sprawling country manor, especially if they plan to spend most of their time in the great outdoors. This home is just the ticket if you want to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Peak District. The interior is full of natural materials, from faux-fur throws and rustic wood furnishings, as well as a small collection of house plants.

Broomhall in Bloom

Dating back to the 19th century, this barn in the White Peak area of the Peak District has ben given a new lease of life in recent years. No longer used for farmyard storage, it's now a country getaway full of luxurious touches.

Save for the sections of exposed stonework, you wouldn't be able to guess this home's true age. The design is contemporary but definitely rustic in flavour, with bare floorboards, artfully weathered wooden furnishings and a Scandinavian-style wood-burning stove that's the ideal companion to return to after a long bout in the great outdoors. The svelte rolltop bathtub upstairs is another way to get toasty and warm, too.

Whether you want to go out and wander around them, play games with the family, or just stay at home admiring the scenery from afar, you're sure to enjoy the surroundings either way. The garden of this home is particularly special. The outside seating area is tailor-made for enjoying an evening tipple. Why not sample the local Lindway Brook champagne and toast to making wonderful memories? When the light starts to fade, head inside and put your feet up in the lounge while the wood burner glows away.

Being situated in the Peak District, this cottage is in an ideal location to make the most of one of the UK's most beautiful regions. Get the boots on and hike one of the many trails here, or jump on two wheels and cycle to a nearby destination. We recommend the seventy-minute cycle to Buxton – a lovely town dating back to the Roman times that's known for its natural thermal springs. Soak your tired muscles before heading back to the cottage for the evening.

In the evening, stroll thirteen minutes to the local pub for a pint by the roaring fire. You can dine there or back at the apartment, enjoying the cosy open-plan living and dining space. Later on, sink into the oh-so-comfortable bed – you’re guaranteed a peaceful night’s sleep here.

Located on the southeastern edge of the gorgeous Peak District National Park, this stunning ten-bed Georgian mansion is secluded away within an acre of immaculately presented private gardens. With terraced lawns, cute courtyard spaces and a Big Green Egg barbecue, the ornate outdoor areas are perfectly set up for alfresco dining. In fact, the gardens are noteworthy enough to have had an entire episode of BBC's Gardener's World devoted to them.

The home packs in plenty of charm from the moment you enter its grand entrance hall, with eye-catching colourful tiles, an imposing fireplace and elegant antiques. It's a similar story throughout the rest of the ground floor, with the addition of wood panelling in the reading room, large bay windows overlooking the garden in the drawing room, and plenty of light and space beneath the beautiful vaulted ceiling in the kitchen. Here, a large pine table sits up to ten adults or fourteen with children – perfect for large gatherings of friends and family.

Upstairs houses the six bedrooms, each with its own unique atmosphere and no less lovely than the last. With a four-poster bed, freestanding tubs in the en-suites and double aspect windows overlooking the luscious gardens, the only dilemma will be which of the three en-suite double bedrooms or two twins to choose. Finally, there's a bunk room that can accommodate four children. 

The ever-popular Peak District, England's oldest national park, is right on your doorstep. There are plenty of picturesque towns and villages to visit, plus rugged, windswept scenery to hike through or simply admire from a fireside armchair in one of its charming pubs. Those with a head for heights might like to try their hand at rock climbing or hot air ballooning, while cycling and hiking are on offer for those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground. If you'd like to nurture your creative side, speak to your hosts about photography courses and art classes.

Stop off for a classic scone with jam and clotted cream or tuck into a full English breakfast close by or visit the award-winning restaurant 'The Merchant's Yard' for a special occasion. In warmer months, make the most of the sunny south-facing courtyard and relax with a bottle of something sparkling after a day spent roaming this beautifully unbridled landscape. 

Toffee Treat

For incredible views across countryside hills and fields, it doesn’t much better than this. This stone brick cottage sits beside the idyllic Matlock Hills, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District National Park. It’s a wonderful choice for those looking for a romantic retreat or adventurous getaway, with a happy mix of hiking trails and quaint villages in the area. 

Inside, the cottage is the epitome of country chic, with contemporary appliances meeting classic features. The kitchen is the heart of it all – you’ll love preparing breakfasts in this wholesome setting, with the kitchen’s electric fireplace cutting through the early cold. Take your morning coffee out to your courtyard for a refreshing start to the day, or hurry back inside to be hugged by the warmth. 

Rich tones add to the luxurious feel, from the distinguished bedrooms to the warm living room – nothing says cosy getaway like sinking into the sofa, warmed up by the log-burning fireplace, with the far-stretching landscape coming into view.

To really make the most of that view, a sundowner or two on the front porch is a must. The west-facing bistro table is the perfect space to catch sunset, followed by nibbles, a few more wines, and stargazing in the back courtyard. 

Your cottage’s location of Hackney means you’re in a great position to explore Derbyshire and the Peak District. Take the thirty-minute stroll through the picturesque setting (or a five-minute drive) to reach Matlock, a quintessential English boating village full of arcades, traditional ice cream shops, and chip shops.

After looking around this home, you probably wouldn't guess that the property has been standing for more than a quarter of a millennium, but that's a testament to the care and attention that has gone into the renovation.

Aside from the odd exposed stone wall and the original fireplace, the interior is as contemporary as they come, but great importance is placed on cosiness, too. Underfloor heating and a wood-burner will get you warmed up once again after bracing country walks, while the huge kitchen has plenty of space for whipping up hearty feasts. If the weather's playing ball, you can even eat outside, which will give you an opportunity to admire the bucolic scenery.

As well as this private patio and barbecue, there's a shared fire pit on the grounds around which to gather once darkness falls. Guests also get access to a shared games room, which has tables for ping-pong and pool, board games and toys, as well as a small shop selling meat from the surrounding farm and locally produced artisanal products.

Sitting deep within the Peak District, you're certainly not short of walking routes in the local area, plus a couple of historic attractions — Magpie Mine is only a ten-minute walk, for instance. And what would a rural getaway be without a charming pub? You'll probably be happy to hear that the closest one is only eight minutes away on foot.

The spacious living room is the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring, and the fully-equipped kitchen is ideal for whipping up a home-cooked meal. Both bedrooms offer a peaceful night's sleep, and the secure free parking is a rare bonus.

Bakewell Bliss

Exercise Equipment

This blissful getaway in the Derbyshire countryside boasts spectacularly scenic views and an unrivalled level of tranquillity, the perfect place to unplug, unwind and rejuvenate amidst the abundance of local wildlife and nature. Set within 55 acres of private farmland, you'll find surrounding natural beauty in every direction that you look. Explore the gardens and fruit orchards on the grounds, where you'll find plenty of peaceful spots to meditate or do some yoga. The host even leaves yoga equipment inside for guests to use at their leisure. While you'll have plenty of privacy here, this place provides ample opportunity to socialise with the farm's flock of sheep, lambs, hens, and peacocks if you please. 

Inside, enjoy taking in the sweeping country views from the open-plan living area in style. Contemporary furnishings with a gorgeous green colour palette that nods to the surrounding flora and fauna present a calming space to feel at home in. Serve up homemade meals at the dining table after delightful days of discovering the local area. Relax in the private gardens, perfect for summer lunches and lawn games in the sunshine. Come evening time, there's no better spot than the fairy-light lit alcove to watch the sun set over the horizon. 

Nestled within ten minute's walking distance from the village of Rowsley, take afternoon strolls along the River Wye, or lace up your boots and hike to Nine Ladies Stone Circle on Stanton Moor. Further afield, you're just a ten-minute drive from the picturesque and historic market town of Bakewell, and five minutes from one of the country’s finest estates, Chatsworth House, home to an impressive art collection, beautiful gardens, water features and acres of park and woodland.

Peak Views

Free Parking

Located in the heart of Matlock, this cosy apartment offers an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking to explore the Peak District National Park and its many charming towns and villages. 

Step inside to be met with wood floors, crisp white walls and comfortable modern furnishings that will make you feel right at home. We love the sunny touches of yellow in the decor that make the open-plan living space a welcome, cheerful spot to relax in – whether around the table for sociable breakfast and dinners, or on the sofa with a good book and a glass of wine. The bedroom, meanwhile, is a pared-back space that invites a restful night’s sleep in its king-size bed and offers an en-suite shower room that is sure to get any day off on the right foot. 

When it comes to exploring, you’ve got a wealth of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes on your doorstep, while the neighbouring town of Matlock Bath is a gentle stroll away along the scenic River Derwent. You’re also ideally placed for hikes and cycles around the National Park, and Sheffield offers an entertaining day trip just an hour away by car.

The Otter's Tea Party

Located on a farm in the heart of the Peak District, this home puts you on the doorstep of some of the UK’s most beautiful vistas. Drive twenty minutes to hike Robin Hood’s Cave and make an even shorter trip to Froggatt Edge, Padley Gorge, and many other scenic points. 

There is nothing quite like getting back in touch with nature to restore a sense of peace and even if hiking isn’t your idea of fun, you can still establish that connection just by sitting down outside. We recommend watching at least one sunrise from the garden chair as you nurse your first coffee of the day. 

Back inside the kitchen’s generous size lends itself to experiments and collaborative meals – flip pancakes and set up a topping station where everyone can get as creative as they’d like. 

Walk the grounds – you might even run into resident black lab, Digby, along the way – and have an impromptu kickabout with a football. Set the timer on your phone's camera and pose for a group photo with nothing but green expanse as a background. 

At night, when you’ve returned from a quintessentially British visit to the local pub, you can kindle the woodburner and sit back for cosy conversation before a soak in the tub and a peaceful night’s sleep in one of the comfortable bedrooms. 

Dairy of Olde

Surrounded by the wild natural beauty of the Peak District National Park, this idyllic cottage is the perfect getaway to relax and explore this majestic part of the English countryside. Located just outside the village of Birchover (a twenty-minute drive from Matlock), you’ll have all the peace and quiet you need to truly rest and unwind. Dating back to the 1700s, the cottage was originally built as a two-storey barn for the main house which your host Rachael’s parents bought as a ruin in the 1960s. Recently restored, you can tell how much love and care has been put into this stunning space that blends beautiful modern comforts with characterful original details to create an unforgettable home. From the underfloor heating to the wood-burning stove, romantic roll-top tub and sweeping views of the Peak District fields and valleys, there’s a storybook warmth and cosiness here that instantly makes you feel welcome. With two outdoor terraces, you can enjoy your breakfast alfresco while the horses roam around you, or fire up the barbecue for a dinner under the stars. Factor in the DVDs, books and board games on hand and there’s plenty to keep you entertained on rainy days – but with so much nature to explore, we recommend grabbing your wellies and venturing out into the great outdoors. Walk around your home to discover the secret walking trails through the woods and ask your host to show you the megalithic Rocking Stone nearby. Visit Robin Hood’s Stride (eleven minutes by car or an hour’s walk), take a dip in the swimming hole at Youlgreave (an eight-minute drive) and spend an afternoon at stately Chatsworth House, fifteen minutes away by car.

With 9 acres of sprawling, green gardens at your disposal, this home right on the edge of the famous Peak District offers respite and restoration. Architecturally designed, the fact that it’s rounder than your average house not only makes this place unique, but it offers incredible views from almost anywhere inside the home. You can, of course, also slide open the door that separates the lounge from the outdoor patio and let some of that Derbyshire goodness drift in on the breeze. Forget about time as you amble around, heading to the compact kitchen for a cup of freshly-brewed coffee before sinking into the sofa without a care in the world, the sounds of mother nature a welcome lullaby. 

With board games on offer, you might take to the living room floor for a game or two in front of the crackling fire, but you’ll most likely want to spend most of your time outside. Kids have ample space to run around whilst you supervise from the garden chair with a glass of wine. Barbecue as often as possible or wander the grounds in search of the perfect picnic spot. 

The heated indoor swimming pool is yours for half of the day – make the most of it by playing shoulder wars or marco polo in the clear blue waters. With many walking routes, you’ll be able to see as much of the surroundings as possible, and all at your own pace. Try the Woodside to Chatsworth circular so you can stop off at Chatsworth Stables for a coffee. 

Explore the Peak District, visit the historic Haddon hall, and see the waterfalls – golfing enthusiasts might also want to visit the Bakewell course a short drive away. 

Where the Wind Vane Blows

This cosy sandstone cottage can be found in the Chatsworth Estate village of Beeley. Its location is the star of the show, as you can enjoy views of the Chatsworth Estate from the private garden, and head out on lovely walks right from the doorstep. The village pub is a two-minute walk – perfect for a pre-dinner pint. You’re also within easy reach of Bakewell and Matlock. There’s a wood burner in the original stone fireplace, and plenty of charm to boot. 

The Barn Owl's Home

Outdoor Pool

Private Pool

With 5 acres at your disposal, this rustic cottage in the Peak District is the ideal escape for anyone looking to indulge in a slice of rural peace. Not so rural, however, that you can’t easily nip into the Georgian gem that is Ashbourne. Explore the local coffee shops and markets whilst you’re there by strolling the cobbled streets and admiring the architecture. The award-winning Callow Hall is five minutes away, and Thor’s Cave – one of the beautiful hiking trails of the area – can be found at the other end of a twenty-minute drive. 

But we bet we had you at rural peace, didn’t we? You’d be right to embrace it and there’s no better way than soaking up all that quiet from your position on the sunlounger. In the summer months, you can ward off the heat by slipping into the beautifully clear, private pool. Autumn and spring would best be spent strolling the large garden – you might even pack a basket and thermos for an impromptu picnic when you find a spot that you’re particularly drawn to. 

Select one of the books in the library and curl up with it on the leather sofa, only getting up to top off your coffee. Evenings can be spent watching a movie in front of the crackling fire or by playing board games – just as long as you don’t forget the cocoa. If it’s not too nippy out yet, you might also find an alfresco meal at sunset to be one of your favourite moments of the day.

Bentley Brook Cottage

Located in Handsworth – just a ten-minute drive from Sheffield – this bright, modern home has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. With the Handsworth Community Park just across the road, there’s a quiet serenity to your location here that’s matched in the calming colours and laid-back decor inside the home. From the deep blue feature wall to the wood floors and characterful art prints and ornaments decking the walls, the main living space is soothing and cosy whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee by the Juliet balcony or curling up on the sofa with your favourite Netflix show. Both bedrooms, too, stand out with their vibrant statement walls, as well as their beautifully dressed beds that will make falling asleep a treat. Factor in the super-fast wi-fi and the sleek bathrooms (the master bathroom even has a waterproof bath TV) and you're all set up for a good time whether for business or pleasure. When you’re not hanging out in your chic pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Enjoy a pub lunch at The Chantry Inn – a charming local pub five minutes away on foot – or take a stroll through the park right on your doorstep. Tinsley Park Golf Course is eight minutes away by car, while Sheffield’s bustling centre is a ten-minute drive away.

Willow Blossom

You'll be in good company with a stay at this charming cottage fringing Matlock and set within nine acres of English country gardens – the mighty Chatsworth House is just three miles from your door along the River Derwent.

Inside, original beams, stone flanked windows, a crackling fireplace, and an immaculate shaker-style kitchen fill this period home with character and charm. While upstairs, bedrooms boast stunning views of the gardens and rolling hills beyond. But it's that shared indoor swimming pool that's the real clincher here – you didn't expect that from a sleepy village cottage, did you?

Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts in the pretty gardens as you drink up the far-reaching views across the valley towards Bakewell and Haddon Hall. Then break up the morning with a splash about the indoor pool. Shared with just one other cottage, you'll have the place to yourself for two hours at a time, twice a day.

When it's time to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, get off to a flying start in the nearby charming village of Rowsley (a five-minute drive) with its traditional pubs for real ales and a warm welcome. And, of course, there's always the stately Chatsworth House (a thirteen-minute drive or two-hour amble along the river) for a turn about the grounds.

This quirky flat in Sheffield has urban cool written all over it. Lush greens, bold oranges, leafy plants and bamboo accents give the place a natural, bohemian flair. We think it's as cosy as it is stylish, making it an excellent base to come home to after a busy day. The private balcony is the icing on the cake – it's the perfect spot to sip morning coffees and evening cocktails as the sun goes down. Everything you need for a relaxed stay is taken care of – there are two stylish bathrooms so nobody needs to wait in line, Netflix on the smart TV if you want to chill at home and a desk if you need to do a bit of work. Cooking is anything but a chore in the sleek kitchen, which has plenty of dinnerware for when you're in the mood to rustle up a meal. Java junkies will also be pleased to see both a Nespresso machine and a cafetiere. Best of all, the location is pretty much perfect. Set in vibrant Kelham Island, there's a wealth of independent eateries, bars, music venues and pubs within walking distance. Plus, the city centre is just a twenty-minute stroll away – trust us, you'll never be short on things to do here.

Are You Mine

Lying on the banks of the River Wye, surrounded by beautiful valleys and the pretty courtyards of Bakewell, this charming cottage offers spectacular scenery and plenty of creature comforts. A Grade II listed building dating back to the 17th century, this home has been carefully converted whilst retaining some of its original features. Wooden ceiling beams and an open fire housed in stone remind you of times gone by, while the contemporary kitchen and sumptuous seating areas bring a little luxury into the equation. 

Step outside and you'll find a gorgeous garden, complete with a patio and dining table. This is the perfect spot to spend a morning drinking coffee and planning the day ahead. When it comes to exploring, you won't be short of things to see and do here. Bakewell is widely considered a gem of the Peak District, thanks to its Anglo-Saxon roots and plethora of award-winning restaurants and pubs. Home to the iconic Bakewell pudding, it's safe to say that foodies will be in their element here. You've also got the Derbyshire countryside on your doorstep, meaning you can enjoy the fresh air and fine walks with the dog every day. For more adventurous hikes, the snow-capped mountains of the Peak District are a short drive away. 

Whether you spend your days shopping, hiking or sampling the local cuisine, you'll always have a cosy home to come back to. Throw some logs on the fire and open a bottle of wine, then settle in with a movie, or have a go at cooking your own Bakewell pudding in the kitchen to enjoy with some hot custard.

Air Conditioning

Lovingly renovated and carefully restored, Clare and Paul have turned this barn into a contemporary but warm home. Expect bold florals in the main bedroom, inviting sink-in sofas in the living space and a fully-equipped kitchenette for cooked breakfasts on slow-start mornings.

One side of the barn overlooks rolling hills and patchwork fields, so you can watch the sheep grazing while you relax with a mug of tea on the royal blue loveseat. Then there’s the outside space, which boasts a hot tub for soothing tired muscles after long hikes through the Peaks and a seating area for cream tea in the sunshine.

If country walks are on the agenda, there are a number of public footpaths by your front door and the serene Combs Reservoir is a mere seven-minute walk away. If you’re keen to explore a little further afield, the charming spa town of Buxton is reached in fifteen minutes by car. And when the day draws to a close, sip a gin and tonic in a nearby pub before heading back to your pad to watch a purple dusk fall over the countryside.
