About this property

5* LUXURY, AWARD WINNING, WATERSIDE BARN, DERBYSHIRE, SLEEPS 8-10 PERSONS

Waterside Barn is a Grade II listed stone barn conversion, located in the Peak National Park near to Ashbourne and Bakewell. Beautifully located with scenic walks and cycle path from its door step. Waterside Barn is designed to give our guests elegance with comfort and has been recently furnished with a contemporary country-styled ambience. This is the perfect place to unwind after your sight seeing and walks with your family or friends.

THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HIRING OUR OWN LUXURY FIVE-SEATER HOT TUB COMPLETE WITH MOOD LIGHTING, ORGANISING A PRIVATE CHEF, COCKTAIL-MASTER CLASSES, MURDER MYSTERY NIGHTS, BEAUTY & HAIR SERVICES AND OUTDOOR YOGA & KEEP FIT CLASSES. DISCUSS THESE OPTIONS WITH SOPHIE, THE PROPERTY MANAGER, SO SHE MAY HELP YOU CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE PEAK DISTRICT BREAKAWAY/ CELEBRATION AT THE BARN!

The Barn's one acre garden leads out onto a footpath and stream which joins the High Peak, Tissington Trail and conveniently connects to Carsington Water (the famous Ellen McCarthur learnt to sail); offering our guests good walking and cycling opportunities from the holiday cottage.

There is so much to do, see, and explore in this area with some of the finest country stately homes in England to visit, such as: Chatsworth House - famous by the documentary series and also the much loved television series of Pride & Prejudice. Jane Austen fans will love the estate and gardens as much as the children! There is also the hauntingly enchanting Haddon Hall to visit which is a particular favourite of mine, where Jayne Eyre was screened from and are both an easy scenic car ride of 25 minutes away. Bakewell is a stunning Peak Park town and every Monday has a large busy market and various shops to explore. Bakewell is still open for business on a Sunday and also gives you a chance to wander along the River Derwent and feed the ducks and maybe take a bite of the real Bakewell Pudding!

If your love is for the sea, even in the middle of the countryside we can offer you Carsington Water as an alternative. A stunning setting just a couple of miles away you can do most water sports from or take a gentle walk around the area. Theme parks are readily available and the most famous in the area is Alton Towers only a 30-minute drive away and is set in stunning scenery. 20 minutes drive North through quiet lanes takes you to Gullivers Kingdom for the younger members of the group or The heights of Abraham exploring the caves at Matlock Bath.

The walks are endless and depending on your ability we have mountains to hills to valleys surrounding the Peak Park to explore. One of the most famous gentle walks is the Dovedales and is only a 5-minute drive away. Take a visit to Alstonefield or Hartington, Ilam and of course Tissington to see some of our local award-winning villages in the area.

The accommodation includes:

Ground Floor:

Kitchen/dining room: With electric oven, 5-ring induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, beams and flagstone and oak floors.

About the host

Hosted by Sophie Webb

Host profile image
I grew up in London and relocated with work to Derbyshire. It was after exploring the area that I realised I would never return to city life - the fresh air and freedom of the countryside and hills made me feel alive. I have now been lucky to live in the area for 30 years and in this time I have married and have three wonderful children who have grown up in this glorious part of England! Our favourite places to walk from Tissington Ford Barn is the Dovedales and Ilam Estate, Tissington, Alstonefield and Mildale, Carsington and the Chatsworth Estate. If you like to venture a bit further then north of Bakewell is some outstanding walks and views. Monsal Head near Ashford On The Water, Curbar and Frogatt Edge, Stanedge Edge near,Hathersage and Kinder Scout are some of the ones which stand out if you are a keen walker. There is also Buxton Town which is another lovely day out with outstanding walks on the North side.
