Set in Derbyshire's Peak District,
near Carsington Reservoir, these holiday cottages have a beautiful location
close to the owner's farmhouse with stunning views over the surrounding
hills.
The approach to
the Barns, which are a haven of peace and quiet, is through the farm’s
20 acres of grassland. The
gardens and orchard, overlooking the Ecclesbourne Valley to Idridgehay
Church, contain a large duckpond. With this peaceful location, tucked
into the hillside, the barns are a real summer sun trap.
The market towns
of Ashbourne and Wirksworth, as featured in the TV series Peak Practice,
are close by as are Matlock and Alton Towers with their many leisure facilities
and tourist attractions.
Kirk Ireton itself has a maze of footpaths and its local pub, the Barley
Mow, dates back to 1688. There is also a small village shop.
Carsington Water
is nearby and offers sailing, windsurfing, trout fishing and a wide variety
of wildlife. It also has walking, cycling and horse riding routes around
its twelve mile circumference.
