Description

Topshill Cottage is a charming mellow stone barn conversion in a peaceful location with breath-taking views over the Ecclesbourne Valley. This super accommodation comprises of a spacious, beamed lounge and dining area incorporating with burning stove, well equipped fitted kitchen, quality bedroom and contemporary shower room.

Set at the end of a quiet hawthorn-clad lane with beautiful countryside all around, you will think you are in the middle of nowhere. Yet the attractive village of Kirk Ireton with its stores, post office and famous pub is just a short walk away. Wirksworth, which is a brilliant little historic town, is also close by, as is Ashbourne with its colourful market and lots of interesting shops. Carsington's watersports, Matlock Bath's cable cars, Peak Rail's steam trains and the National Tramway Museum are to be found in the surrounding hills.

More traditional days out can be had in and around the Peak District, perhaps exploring Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or venturing out to Hardwick Hall. But make sure you get back in time for a 'real ale' from the jug in the Barley Mow before a last glass or two in the cottage garden under a canopy of stars.

Cottage facilities:

Living Room: a spacious lounge with vaulted, beamed ceiling, large leather sofa and cuddle chair, log burning stove on stone hearth, TV, DVD player, WiFi; lovely views over the valley; dining area with table and four chairs.

The location of the cottage is exceptional ,obviously the name Topshill says it all, but the views and local wildlife are beautiful.If you want to see kites playing in the sky every day and get a great evening to sit out and look at dark skies at night , this is the place. Comfy bed , great shower ,well set up kitchen huge leather sofa and a log burner.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable with lovely views across the valley. Plenty of car parking space was available and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. The cottage is ideally located with easy access to the Peak District.

Mr L,

A beautiful cottage with gorgeous views. Thoughtfully designed and brilliantly equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay.

Mrs S,

The cottage is one of the best we have stayed in. Warm, comfortable and have everything you need. We just loved it and so did our sprocker..Kiki.

Mr D,

This was a lovely place - so warm and cosy. It was also one of the best equipped cottages we've ever stayed in, with one of the best showers! Everything we needed was provided, and it was all so warm (we were there in November) and comfortable. This is a beautiful part of the world, and we'll be back.

Rev W,

We have been back several times. Hosts and cottage both lovely!

Ms B,

This cottage was the best we have stayed in, spotlessly clean, fantastic views could imagine in the summer siting in the garden would be great, and relaxing, situated with easy reach of lots of places to visit, highly recommend!

Mr K,

This was our first visit to Derbyshire. The owners live next door & met us on arrive & were very welcoming. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated after our journey. The cottage met all our needs & more. Although the weather was a little unkind we found Topshill Cottage to be warm & cosy - we didn't even make use of the wood burner.

Mrs H,

Excellent cottage in a magnificent location. Hosts made us feel very welcome. Best dog friendly cottage we have ever stayed at.

Mrs H,

A relaxing spotlessly clean cottage with a view to die for.

Mrs M,

The cottage is beautiful, well equipped including a coffee pod machine, fabulous power shower and with thoughtful touches such as fleece blankets for chilly times in the garden and a welcome gift of bread, milk, butter and flapjack from the village community shop. It is super dog friendly with a secure garden. The view from the garden is spectacular. Jane and Andrew are lovely hosts, and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend Topshill Cottage.

Mrs A,

The cottage was immaculately clean and incredibly welcoming. It feels very secluded and private yet the hosts are next door if you need them. Within the cottage, every detail has been thought of and provided and these touches make your stay feel very relaxed from the moment you set foot in the cottage. The area is gorgeous and coupled with the amazing accommodation, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Mrs P,

The first thing that greeted us when we arrived at the Cottage was a wonderful view over the Rolling countryside. The Cottage was beyond our expectations. It is warm comfortable and every sink you could wish for right down to the last detail. The owners have gone the extra mile. We have been to the peak district several times, but this is the best by far highly recommended. We received a very warm welcome from Jane and Andrew hopefully we will see you again thank you for making our holiday so special.

Mr H,

A wonderful cottage in a superb location with stunning views north over the Ecclesbourne Valley. Very comfortable and well equipped, a real home from home. Also a lovely welcome from the owners who live next door, always there to sort out any problems - not that there were any - and willing to give advice on visiting local attractions. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a quiet "get away from it all" holiday.

Mr L,

The most fabulous location with stunning view and lovely garden. Very comfortable, well equipped and warm. Very friendly owners next door who couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was perfect.

Mr B,

This was one of our favourite cottages so far. It was exceptional. The instructions made it easy to find and it did not disappoint in any way. The view is stunning and it was so lovely to sit and relax in the enclosed garden to enjoy it. I’m so glad we chose this place.It had everything we needed and was very comfortable in every way. The owners have worked very hard to make you welcome , thank you Jane and Andrew, you definitely deserve a five star review. Don’t hesitate, just book it. The area is beautiful too with so many lovely places right on the doorstep, yet you feel in the middle of nowhere. I really didn’t want to leave, I’m thinking we might return to this little gem.

Mrs S,

Perfect cottage, spotlessly clean and the view is amazing. We have had a great holiday at Topshill, lots of walks and then lovely evenings relaxing in the cottage. Hosts are lovely and the welcome pack had a nice Easter surprise. Our spaniel was well catered for and found the local pheasants very entertaining.

Mrs C,

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Topshill Cottage. The setting is idyllic, with beautiful views. The owners were so helpful and were always at the end of the phone with recommendations to ensure we had the best stay! The fireplace was such a lovely addition and made it really cosy in the evenings. We loved exploring the local footpaths and also went further afield in to the Peak District for some gorgeous walks. We couldn't recommend this property more!

Miss M,

Beautiful cottage with lovely views. Comfortable and warm inside. Great place to really escape from everything/

Mrs F,

Amazing cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage was perfect in every way. It has everything we needed. The views were amazing too. Will definitely return.

Mrs J,

A lovely place to stay. Quiet, peaceful and a great welcome. Thank you.

Mr G,

Location

ASHBOURNE

Ashbourne is a lovely old Victorian market town at the southern end of the Peak District National Park. Known as the ‘Gateway to the Peaks’, it has lots of designer clothes shops, antique emporiums, restaurants and pubs gathered around the cobble market square and in the surrounding streets.

Close to famous Dove Dale with its stepping stones across the river, Thorpe Cloud with its magnificent views and the Lovers Leap, if you dare, there are few better places to go for a walk in the fantastic countryside. Another must visit is Paradise Walk by the side of the river Manifold from the picturesque village of Ilam.

You might also fancy walking or cycling from the centre of the town along the Tissington Trail up into the Peaks. Carsington Water with its wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle trail and visitor centre is also close by. And a short drive will soon get you to Matlock Bath, Bakewell, Chatsworth, and then into the heart of the National Park.

Local pubs – The Wheel Inn, The Ye Olde Vaults and The George and Dragon.
