The 200 yr old stone cottage faces south over Bradford Dale in Youlgrave, one of the Peaks most friendly and interesting villages. It is situated on Bankside down a cobbled path which leads to the river .The owners have had the cottage for 18 years and have completely renovated it in 2009, with new doors and windows and a new bathroom with underfloor heating.

The garden has superb views across the valley to the sheep-dotted hills beyond. The Dale houses a multitude of wildlife - water voles, kingfishers, dippers, winter wagtails and all sorts of ducks. A walk in one direction leads you to Middleton-by-Youlgrave, while in the other direction, you can take an evening stroll down to Alport, returning via a Youlgrave pub for an evening drink or meal. The children might like a walk to Robin Hoods Stride where they can clamber over the huge boulders.

The village is lively with all sorts of events happening throughout the year from music and art festivals to pantomime, theatre and the cinema club. Youlgrave has 5 well dressings which are up at midsummer. Bakewell and Matlock are the nearest towns for shopping, although the villages' two shops have a good variety of locally produced food.

Accommodation (2 bed, sleeps 4)

The accommodation is comfortable and spacious. In the winter, there's an open fire, storage and electric heating for a cosy evening after a bracing walk. In the summer, the decking is a superb place for lazy lunches and BBQs, overlooking Bradford Dale as the sun goes down.

All comforts are catered for including games and books for children and adults, a telephone, Wifi (small extra cost), flat screen TV, stereo and Ipod dock and a piano.

The kitchen is modern with an electric fan oven and hob, microwave and fridge. Upstairs, there are two rooms, one with a kingsized bed and a little room with a small double bed. Linen and towels are provided. The bathroom has bath, power shower, loo and basin, and underfloor heating.

Outside, there is a coal and log shed and an outhouse for the washing machine, tumble dryer and garden furniture - recliners, parasol, table and BBQ.

Because of its location down a steep cobbled path, the cottage is not likely to be suitable for those with mobility problems.
