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.
Kitchen: well-fitted kitchen with electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor fan, microwave, fridge freezer, slim dishwasher, washing machine and Dolce Gusto coffee machine.

Smoking in the cottage is not permitted. Dog welcome but sorry, no cats.
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.
