## About The Property

Hillside Croft is a delightful, luxury self-catering cottage located near Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Situated in the picturesque Derbyshire Dales between the historical Peak District National Park and the charming Staffordshire Moorlands, this Grade II-listed cottage lies within six acres of secluded landscaped gardens and verdant pasture land. It is ideally placed for activities, walking and sightseeing – we welcome large parties of friends and family.

A characterful sandstone cottage, Hillside Croft features pretty stone-mullioned and leaded windows, prominent heavy oak beams, and revealed timber and stonework throughout. Handmade pine furniture, and a mix of old stone, oak and tiled floors, add extra atmosphere, while matching furnishings, central heating, and log stoves downstairs make for an especially comfortable and warm ambience.

Our farmhouse kitchen comprises antique, lime-washed pine kitchen units, a double French-pottery sink, stone surfaces and tiled flooring. Overlooking a pretty rear garden, with various herbs, blackberries and fruit trees planted for your culinary use.
