Pingle Cottage, located near Matlock in Derbyshire's Heart of England, offers an enchanting retreat for up to four guests, making it an ideal getaway for families and friends. Nestled along a gravelled single track road in a relatively secluded area close to Carlton Lees, this semi-detached barn conversion combines rustic charm with modern amenities. The property is designed to provide a comfortable environment, featuring original architectural details alongside contemporary touches that enhance the overall experience.
The heart of Pingle Cottage is its open-plan living space, centered around a large wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings together during cooler months. Guests can enjoy preparing meals in the well-equipped kitchen, which allows for communal cooking and dining experiences. The spacious dining table provides a lovely setting for family meals or gatherings after a day of exploring the nearby Chatsworth Estate, known for its stunning gardens and historic house.
Accommodations at Pingle Cottage include a ground-floor twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a first-floor king-size bedroom that also boasts an en-suite bathroom featuring both a full-size bath and a shower. This thoughtful layout ensures comfort and privacy for all guests, making it a suitable choice for both families and groups of friends. Large French doors open up to a private rear garden, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding fields and the picturesque landscape back to Carlton Lees, ensuring that guests can enjoy the beauty of the countryside from the comfort of their retreat.
For those looking to accommodate larger groups, the adjacent Rye Croft Cottage, which sleeps six, can be booked alongside Pingle Cottage, allowing for a total capacity of ten guests, subject to availability. While the peaceful, semi-remote location offers tranquility, it is important to note that the access road is not suitable for low-slung vehicles. Additionally, guests have the option to pre-book access to the Chatsworth Health Club, which features a gym, swimming pool, and tennis court, providing further opportunities for relaxation and recreation during their stay.
