Summer Dusk, Autumn Dawn Foolow, Derbyshire

Holiday Rental Description

A cosy getaway for two, this charming cottage is packed with character and has idyllic views of the Peak District to match. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking – imagine lush green fields, grazing cattle and tree-dotted hills, all spread out before you – and the best place to admire the rolling countryside is the garden. Sharing a bottle of wine as the sun goes down will become your evening ritual – with views like that, it'll be hard to tear yourself away. There's also an excellent outlook from the bedroom, which you'll wake up to daily.

Make yourself comfortable on the squishy sofa following a long day wandering the Peaks and snuggle up for a movie night – you can sign in to your Netflix, Prime and Disney+ accounts, so there are plenty of films to choose from. When you grow peckish, the kitchen is well-stocked and well-suited to rustling up delicious meals, but if you don't fancy cooking, Foolow's village pub is only a twelve-minute stroll away and serves excellent food and refreshing local ales.

And speaking of exploring, there's a network of public footpaths on your doorstep – simply lace up your walking shoes, head out the front door and the Peak District is yours to ramble and roam. Also close by is Bakewell, home to an array of shops, restaurants and a weekly Monday market – it’s just fifteen minutes by car.

Home truths:
*This home is set over two floors, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The owner of the cottage lives next door, but you'll still have plenty of privacy
*There's no washing machine here – there's a laundry service a five-minute drive away
*Due to the remote location, there's no cable but there are apps like BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub – there's also Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, although you'll have to sign in to your own account to use them
*The owners have one friendly dog that you may occasionally meet – if you're bringing a four-legged friend, please keep them on a lead outside
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
