Set in a peaceful spot with stunning views across rolling Derbyshire hills. Watch the local cows wander past your window or take advantage of the nearby walking trails. The private hot tub is absolute bliss after a day exploring - nothing beats sipping wine while soaking under the stars (just remember it's lights out at 10pm, so save your skinny dipping for earlier).
The accommodation is cleverly designed as an open-plan studio with a comfortable antique double bed, cosy seating area and compact kitchen featuring a two-ring hob and combination microwave. The modern shower room is surprisingly spacious and you'll find eco-friendly underfloor heating throughout. Outside, enjoy your private patio with BBQ and the bonus summerhouse for extra relaxation space.
Nearby attractions include Chatsworth House (15 minutes), Haddon Hall (10 minutes), Bakewell's famous pudding shops (3 miles) and numerous walking trails directly from your doorstep. There's even coarse fishing just 5 minutes away.
The Cow Shed is ideal for romantic getaways where you actually want to spend time together. Small enough to be intimate but equipped with everything you need - including that glorious hot tub!
