It also includes a peaceful riverside location with meadow views. From the property, guests can enjoy a short stroll to the old marble quarrying village of Ashford in the Water. Here, you'll find plenty of places to shop, eat and relax beside the babbling River Wye. The space Nestled in the heart of the national park, walkers will enjoy exploring the contrasting scenery of the higher and wilder Dark Pak in the north and the gently rolling limestone dales of White Peak in the south. Inside, you will enter the character cottage through the kitchen, which is open to the lounge area. This is a warm and cosy room with a Cornish Slate floor, comfortable chairs, a leather settee, chair and occasional rugs. It features an attractive oak fireplace with a log effect electric stove. Also on the ground floor is a cloakroom with hand basin and toilet. The fully fitted kitchen has a dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and all the essential equipment you will require for the duration of your stay. Gusts can also enjoy the private garden by the side of the River Wye with views of the meadow beyond. As expected their is an abundance of wildlife all year round. There is also plenty of trout in the river but there is strictly NO fishing as a permit is required. The garden does face south so it benefits from the sun all day. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Dishwasher - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Area rugs in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
