This beautifully situated retreat offers some of the most breathtaking views in the Peak District. Overlooking the iconic Dragon’s Back, formed by Chrome and Parkhouse Hills, this is a dream location for keen walkers and nature lovers alike. The picturesque village of Earl Sterndale offers the perfect mix of tranquillity and outdoor adventure, making it an unforgettable base for your Peak District escape. Steeped in history, the spa town of Buxton, 5 miles away, enjoys the postcard-perfect scenery of the Peak District National Park and boasts Poole’s Cavern (5 miles), one of the finest limestone show caves in the country. Uncover the wild beauty of Kinder Scout (18 miles), the scenic Tissington Trail (19 miles), the peaceful Manifold Trail (13 miles), or the lush valley of Monsal Dale (12 miles). Get the blood pumping by zipping through the forest at Go Ape Buxton, 5 miles away.


The property itself is all on one level, forming the bottom floor of a barn conversion, in a group of similar properties, surrounded by farmland in this lovely village. Up the stone steps and through the front door, you’re welcomed into the light and bright open-plan lounge/diner at the heart of this holiday retreat. Exposed beams, stone details and country cottage style décor echo this former barn’s rich heritage, whilst homely touches set the scene for pure relaxation. Adjoining the open-plan lounge/diner, you’ll find the galley kitchen, which enjoys a sleek, contemporary design that’ll inspire you to whip up something delicious with your fabulous local produce. The two bedrooms on offer are arranged on either side of the open-plan lounge/diner. To the left is a double bedroom, and to the right a twin bedroom, which both share the same charm, character and peaceful ambience as the rest of this cosy bolthole. A sophisticated, contemporary family bathroom completes this homely rural retreat.


Outside, the patio garden provides outdoor seating with sweeping countryside views, a wonderfully tranquil spot to soak up this peaceful setting after a day exploring the Peak District. Outside, you’ll also find a shared utility room and private parking for two cars.
