Gooseberry Barn

Luxury Holiday Cottage in Holmesfield, Derbyshire

 

At the gateway to the Peak District, Gooseberry Barn is a fabulous, single storey, 2 bedroomed, 2 bathroomed self catering cottage, '5 Star Gold' rated by Visit Britain. Gooseberry Barn is finished to a very high standard and retains many of the original features, including king post trusses and exposed stonework. The Barn benefits from being all on one level, with underfloor heating throughout.

The lounge has a Clearview wood burning stove, oak shutters and large picture window which looks out onto the cobbled courtyard. The double aspect dining kitchen has oak units with electric hob and oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and microwave. The dining table by the window seats four.

There are two excellent double en-suite bedrooms. The first has a king-size bed and bathroom with a Victorian roll-top bath with shower over, wash basin and toilet. The second has single beds (which can be made into a double on request) and bathroom, with walk-in shower, hand basin and toilet. Both bedrooms and lounge have flat screen TV's, with Sky and DVD in the lounge. Two of the TVs have Freeview. The barn also benefits from wireless internet access. Fabrics, furnishings and fittings have been carefully co-ordinated throughout, with limestone-effect solid floors and occasional rugs.

Gooseberry Barn has its own private courtyard at the front with table and chairs and southerly aspect. If you prefer, take a short walk in the owners' grounds to your own private decked seating/viewing area where you can enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. Alternatively, take a walk in the 30 plus acres of the estate and enjoy watching the horses. At dusk you may be fortunate enough to see the badgers.

There is private parking for several cars as well as storage for cycles. Country walks are on your doorstep, straight from the barn.

 

Gooseberry Barn Location

Gooseberry Barn self catering cottage is on the outskirts of the small Derbyshire village of Holmesfield with its historic church and several pubs serving good food all within circa. 1 mile. This barn is ideally placed at the gateway to the Peak District National Park, with the historic country houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall and their parklands only a short drive away. It is also within easy reach of the market towns of Bakewell and Chesterfield (the latter with its famous crooked spire) plus the delightful village of Baslow. All have a host of excellent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants (at least one with a Michelin star!)

For lovers of the outdoors, the area has everything from walking to cycling, climbing, fishing, horse-riding, caving and much more! Miles of cycle trails can be explored on foot or bicycle (cycle hire available locally or bring your own).

The White Peak is within easy reach, as are the caves of Castleton (home of the 'Mighty Titan' - the largest cave in the United Kingdom), the cable cars of Matlock, the thrills of Alton towers and the tranquillity and breath-taking scenery surrounding the Derwent Dams where the famous 617 Dambusters' squadron practised the dams' raids (still commemorated with annual fly-past).

Meadowhall, one of the largest shopping centres in the country, is within half an hour drive, as are the theatres and attractions of Sheffield city centre.
