Tucked away amidst the charm and delight of the Peak District National Park in the village of Birchover is this superb converted chapel dwelling, Andlestone. This wonderful retreat is positioned for a group of walkers looking to explore the multitude of walks among the rolling countryside, or is spacious enough for a family seeking a base to celebrate a special occasion. The interior enjoys a seamless blend of contemporary and character, with the original features complementing the carefully selected furnishings and all the quality appliances you will need during a week-long break. Enter through the imposing stone-built porch, where you can kick off your walking boots before relaxing into your evening. The quirky layout of the accommodation means that you will find three well-presented bedrooms resting on the ground floor, comprising a double bedroom and two twin bedrooms, each designed with a refreshing ambience and a flexible arrangement in mind. The ground floor is completed by a modern family bathroom, featuring a bath, a separate walk-in shower, basin and WC, as well as a shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. Venture up the staircase to enjoy sociable evenings with your loved ones gathered in the open-plan living room, with soaring arched beams, where the original chapel windows flood the space with natural light. To the rear of the space is a well-equipped kitchen, where the designated chef of the group will find everything to fulfill your culinary needs to create your own delicious evening meals. Joining here is the sitting area, where plush sofas await you after an action-packed day to tune into the Smart TV and unwind. If you can tear yourself away from the idyllic base, two pubs await you just a stone’s throw away, and a choice of pubs serving food can be found within Winster if you don’t feel like cooking one evening. Find a multitude of walks from the doorstep of the cottage, including the Nine Ladies stone circle walk and the Limestone Way. Alternatively, brush up on the local history by discovering Chatsworth House or spending some time within the market town of Bakewell. Andlestone is a delightful base for exploring the countryside setting of the Peak District National Park.
Winster is a small village resting within the Peak District National Park, just 4.5 miles away from Matlock.

Within the village you will find a shop and two pubs serving beer.

We really enjoyed our stay
Marian
Two Pubs within a few minutes walk serving great food. The Chapel was very warm and welcoming. Birchover was a great village within easy distance from most of the places in the Peaks. Also good for walking. Would certainly go back.

There was everything we needed in the property and with fast broadband and board games we had plenty to occupy ourselves with in the evenings after a long day out walking. A short drive to Matlock and Bakewell means the shops and restaurants are not too far away. Kitchen was fully equipped and the 2 bathrooms were a good size. Property was extremely clean and well laid out.
