Highcroft is a stunning three-floor country house in rural Derbyshire, sitting right on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The property overlooks fields full of deer that regularly visit the garden fence - perfect for wildlife lovers and photographers. This semi-detached beauty offers enough space for ten guests to spread out without stepping on each other's toes.
The countryside setting gives you proper peace and quiet. Fields stretch in every direction with walking trails up and down the Ecclesbourne Valley. Carsington Water is close by for cycling and watersports when you need to burn off last night's pub dinner. The enclosed garden keeps kids and dogs safely contained while you enjoy the views with a glass of something cold.

Carsington Water is close by for cycling and watersports when you need to burn off last night's pub dinner. The enclosed garden keeps kids and dogs safely contained while you enjoy the views with a glass of something cold. Or warm. Whatever floats your boat.
Accommodation includes two king-size bedrooms (one on the ground floor), two ground-floor twins and two single rooms upstairs. There are two full bathrooms plus a ground-floor WC. Two separate living rooms mean nobody has to watch your terrible TV choices. The kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with range cooker and dishwasher because nobody wants to wash up on holiday.
Nearby attractions include Alton Towers (30 mins), historic Chatsworth House (25 mins), traditional market towns of Ashbourne (15 mins) and Belper (12 mins). The local pub is just a mile away - close enough to stumble home after testing their ale selection. The six-person hot tub awaits your return for stargazing with a drink in hand.
Highcroft excels at family gatherings and celebrations. The spacious layout, comfy beds (seriously, everyone mentions them) and those curious deer make this place magical. Jo the owner checks the hot tub daily and leaves thoughtful welcome hampers. Book Highcroft for your escape to the countryside.
