About this property

5 Star holiday cottage with its own private indoor pool. Situated in Thorpe, a delightful village at the southern end of the White Peak area of the Peak National Park, Thorpe Cloud View cottage is a charming holiday location within the four-acre grounds of, but set apart from, Thorpe House, a late Georgian limestone grade two listed building of considerable character. The cottage, allocated the top rating of five stars, has uninterrupted views of Thorpe Cloud, at the entrance to Dovedale, the limestone gorge which separates Derbyshire and Staffordshire. The surrounding areas provide excellent walking. The picturesque Derbyshire market town of Ashbourne is just some 3 miles away; the spa town of Buxton, and the historic houses of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall and Kedleston are all within easy access. Alton Towers, the UK’s largest leisure park is only a twenty-minute drive away. Arrival is from 3pm and departure before 9:30am.

Another great holiday

This is our second time back at the cottage. The pool is brilliant and much bigger than it appears in the photos. The surrounding are is beautiful and the cottage is really clean, snug and well kitted out. Another great stay.

Amazing from start to finish

Lovely, large cottage and private swimming pool. Everything was great, from cleanliness to kitchen tools available and comfortable beds. We even used the fireplace for a cozy evening.The swimming pool is huge, and it has a jacuzzi part - perfection!

Great location

The cottage was lovely and warm and has all the little extras you don’t always get, such as boxes of tissues, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. The pool was spotless and so warm. Garden and view was beautiful. We could easily walk to Thorpe Cloud and the nearest pub. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Property & Location

The cottage was even better than expected, and was warm, comfortable, very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. Set in a quiet, and peaceful location, with views of the surrounding countryside. The swimming pool was definitely an added bonus, and was much bigger than it looks on the photos. We really enjoyed our stay, and didn't want to leave.

Pure Bliss!

What a little gem of a property, my husband and I found ourselves daydreaming about winning the lottery and living in this cottage for the rest of our days! We were so lucky with the weather, the setting is beautiful. The cottage was clean and very warm and cosy - I will say from the pictures I thought it may be a little cold, but it definitely wasnt! Also cute flowers on our arrival and an anniversary card! So thoughtful. The pool area was immaculate and the pictures do not do it justice, the size is perfect and my glasses steamed up just walking through the doors! The bed was super comfy and I have now actually purchased the same bedding! All in all a perfect trip that will not be forgotten, thank you so much 😊

About the host

Hosted by Ray & Julie

Julie and Ray have owned this property for the last 20 years. The standards are always getting higher as we receive great feedback and ideas from the guests.

Why they chose this property

We are told by the guests that this is the best cottage they have stayed in with the amazing indoor swimming pool (not shared) and the fabulous stone cottage together with the large garden and incredible views over to the hills including Thorpe Cloud View (this featured in the last Robin Hood movie with white horse image on the hill). The cottage is ideal in all weather, cool in the summer and warm in the winter with the log burner and the eco-friendly central heating.

What makes this property unique

Outside:
A private estate with fantastic gardens in all 4 acres.
The Holiday Cottage enjoys uninterrupted view of the hills of Thorpe Cloud at Dovedale. Often you will be able to watch sheep and lambs, cows, bulls and calves, many types of birds including woodpeckers all from the secluded outside seating area of the holiday cottage.

Indoor Swimming Pool & Luxury Jacuzzi. This opulent swimming pool is heated to 31 degrees. It is about 1.4meters deep and 14 metres (40 ft) long. Ideal for the serious swimmer, for the beginner or for the children. The Jacuzzi has its own heating control and has jets from the sides and the bottom of the seat.

Utility Room:
Eco friendly remote central heating system (biomass wood pellets)
Washing machine and dryer.

Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service:
The cottage is cleaned after each guest visit. Towels and bed-linen are provided (this includes a towel for each guest in the cottage and also a second towel for each guest in the poolroom). Our gardener tends to the grounds and may start early (7.00am). Also our handy man is often around keeping everything looking great. This will include moving and loading wood pellets to a centralized green energy heating system.

Other:
Galleried landing over the lounge/sitting room gives an open spacious feeling.
