Description

New Harborough Bungalow is a beautiful barn conversion, one of a group of former farm buildings in a wide green valley just outside the Peak District National Park. The property has been furnished and equipped to an incredible standard. There is great attention to detail in its furnishings, décor, colours and textures. The open plan living room/kitchen is absolutely charming. There is a super shower room and the bedroom with its super king size bed, crisp linen and fluffy towels is an utter delight. 

Enjoy the beautiful rolling countryside that surrounds Derbyshire's famous stone quarrying areas. Wander through the valley to Harboro' Rocks or enjoy Harboro Clay Pigeon Shooting nearby. Brassington is a lovely village with a jumble of cottages across the hillside, great pubs and lovely walks through beautiful countryside all around. Carsington Water has water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching all just a ten-minute drive away. The historic little town of Wirksworth is close by where you can explore its heritage trail and railway, range of local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a small cinema. Close to Dove Dale, there is the lovely town of Ashbourne with pubs, restaurants, designer clothes shops and antique emporiums.      

Set in the glorious Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District National Park, explore Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside prom and nearby Cromford Mill and Canal.

Reviews

An excellent cottage for two, well equipped and definitely off grid. It has all mod cons and is very cosy. The bed is huge (double queen) and very comfortable, something that is a problem with many rentals - not here. To get away from the world, it is ideal and the sky is dark so skywatching is ideal provided it is warm and clear. One of the best we have stayed in.

Dr H,

Really beautiful bungalow set in glorious countryside. Extremely clean and well looked after. Would of given top marks for equipment except for the shower floor. The shower itself is brilliant but the wet floor idea is very poor! The water just doesn't drain away and consequently the whole bathroom floods to literally 1 inch deep. The water even reached under the washing machine! It then takes an age to drain away and it is then impossible for someone else to use the toilet or have a shave. Recommend that the outflow is improved, a proper shower tray installed and a proper side and door installed. 9.5 out of 10 for the rest of the bungalow. I've clicked on no for recommendation purely because of the shower.

Mr A,

My review is the same as the one I did yesterday (14 May 24) for New Harborough Farm, apart from one key point for the bungalow. The shower room needs sorting out. The shower works well but there's not sufficient glass or surround and so it floods about 1/3 of the floor, which then stays wet for hours. That's even when you turn the shower off to shampoo/soap and direct it into the furthest corner!! Other than that excellent.

Mrs M,

Very enjoyable week of peace and quiet.

Previous Customer,

We certainly enjoyed our stay, the welcome pack was a lovely surprise, has a well equipped kitchen ,very comfortable bed and the view from the lounge and bedroom windows was lovely, only problem was the lack of shops ie super markets been townies not used to it, having said that it was a lovely and quite restful place to stay. Went to some lovely places we enjoyed our visit to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway at Wirksworth, all in all a very good week. Thanks for having us

Mr H,

Location

BRASSINGTON

Brassington is a very picturesque village with a muddle of cottages tumbling down the hillside nestled in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. Close to the lovely Georgian market town of Ashbourne, as well as the historic lead mining town of Wirksworth, there are few better places to base your holiday. Best of all, the village has two great pubs. Ye Olde Gate Inn is a 17th century unspoilt village inn that has been named Britain’s cosiest pub. Alternatively, get a very warm welcome in the Miners Arms that does great food and fantastic beer.

If you enjoy the countryside, you might know that the Limestone Way that passes the village will take you out across the Peaks, while the nearby Tissington Trail is just great for walking or cycling. Set virtually on the shores of Carsington Water, Derbyshire’s inland sea, there is also easy access to wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle hire, an adventure playground, visitor centre, café and craft shops.

There is lots to explore in this southern part of the Peak District. Beautiful Dove Dale has its famous stepping stones across the river or there is Manifold Dale with its ‘vanishing’ waters. Tissington with its fine Jacobean Manor, Hartington with its great cheese shop or Crowdecote with its incredible views, are great local villages. You might even get as far as Alton Towers, just over in Staffordshire!   

Local pubs – Ye Olde Gate Inn, the Miners Arms and the Knockerdown near Carsinton.
