About this property
A luxurious three bedroom cottage, sleeping up to 6 guests, with a log burning stove and secluded garden, hidden away in a picturesque Peak District hamlet.
Springfield is an utterly wonderful barn conversion with its decor and furnishings providing the ultimate in luxury. Hidden away in Aldwark, a peaceful and picturesque little hamlet on the edge of the Peak District National Park, it is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside. Inside has been totally refurbished to a brilliant standard and interior designed with attention to detail rippling throughout the cottage. The lounge is cosy with comfy sofas, cushions and a glowing log burning stove. The dining kitchen is spacious and extremely well fitted with everything you’ll need for your stay. The sunny conservatory is a super place to relax with a book. The three super-king/king-size bedrooms each have their own bath/shower rooms.
Sit in the garden and just listen to the silence. Walk or cycle off along one of the trails or just wander along for a pint in Aldwalk's little farm based brewery. Wirksworth town is only a short drive away with its heritage trail and railway, an array of local and interesting shops, friendly pubs and restaurants and even a little cinema. If you’ve come for an active holiday then this is the place for you, with Carsington Water close by with water sports, cycle hire, birdwatching, children's playground and visitor centre. If you are wanting to explore the rest of Derbyshire then you’re not too far from Matlock Bath with its cable cars soaring in the sky, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or even pop to Bakewell one afternoon to sample its famous Pudding. On the way back, stop by one of the many friendly local country pubs for a pint before returning to the cottage to relax and reminisce about your day.

Mrs Aris
We really enjoyed our stay. It is a very comfortable cottage in a great location for exploring the southern Peak District. All 3 bedrooms were equally impressive and each with a great bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the outside space was lovely for sitting out and for the dog to explore. A hosepipe for the outside tap would be the icing on the cake as our dog had a great time but was constantly muddy! Also please can you resolve check out time as the cleaner turned up at 9:30 when we were told 10:00am check out. However, this is a great property to stay in.

The farmhouse was sensitively renovated , tastefully furnished to a very high standard The equipment throughout from bathrooms to kitchen was of superior quality making Springfield a delight to be in . Major towns , walking trails were all within easy reach with a car .Aldwark was a relatively remote hamlet which was perfect for 4 chums & a dog Would highly recommend Springfield to friends .
