The Hideaway Loft

The Hideaway Loft is a hillside stone cottage near Derby in the Derbyshire Dales, sleeping four across two bedrooms and a bathroom. A south-facing patio at the front catches the sun and opens onto views across the surrounding hills. Free on-street parking is available nearby, though the approach from town is steep.

Inside, the ground floor holds a living room with an open fireplace, a kitchen with a traditional stove, dining space, and a bathroom with shower over bath. The two bedrooms are upstairs: a master with generous storage and a twin room. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The cottage has everything needed for self-catering, and a pub is within a mile. Smoking is not permitted.

This location suits those wanting to explore Matlock and the Peak District from a quiet base. The layout and positioning mean you wake to countryside rather than roads or neighbours.
