Description:
In the heart of the Peak District National Park, and just 2 miles from Bakewell, this beautiful cluster of recently converted cottages and barns lies beside the medieval manor farm in Over Haddon, a charming village perched on the side of idyllic Lathkill Dale. Delightfully combining ancient beams, vaulted ceilings and stone walls with smart modern furnishings and fittings and a luxurious level of comfort, most of the superbly designed cottages are set around a large, peaceful, paved and lawned courtyard whilst, close by and adjoining one other similar property, Manor Barn is a splendid, ultra modern barn conversion enjoying its own garden with private hot tub. The village's renowned dining pub is just 200 yards distant and Bakewell, a picturesque, fascinating town and home of the famous Bakewell Pudding, boasts a lively Monday market, fine shopping, a museum, swimming pool and golf.
Excellent walking and horse riding can be enjoyed locally and Lathkill Dale itself is a National Nature Reserve, preserving wild flower meadows, craggy fossil filled rocks, ancient woodlands and a crystal clear stream with abundant butterflies, wildlife and birds.
A stunning background to an extensive range of outdoor pursuits, from rock climbing to cycling and caving, the Derbyshire Dales offer visitors a unique combination of rugged grandeur, sweeping moorland, beautiful woodland valleys, tumbling streams and subterranean caverns – an unforgettable landscape surrounding picturesque villages, impressive stately homes, mysterious stone circles and some of the country's earliest industrial history. A host of delights lie within a short drive of Manor Court Cottages including magnificent Chatsworth House, medieval Haddon Hall and Arbor Low stone circle, which are all less than 5 miles. Gulliver's Kingdom theme park and the sensational Heights of Abraham cable car rides at Matlock Bath, the world renowned caverns at Castleton and Carsington Lake's sailing, windsurfing and canoe hire and tuition are all less than 10 miles. Crich Tramway Museum, a restored cotton mill, steam railway trips, a craft centre, working flour mill and a glass blowing workshop are among popular nearby attractions, and the thrills and excitement on offer at Alton Towers are 20 miles away, whilst the excellent shopping and entertainment opportunities of Sheffield, Manchester and Derby are also easily accessible.
