Ridge Cottage

Ridge Cottage sits in North East Derbyshire countryside with open views across the Peak District. The property is a former blacksmith's forge that has been restored as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house sleeping six. It's a full cottage to yourselves, with parking on site and the essentials—electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels—all included. There's an electric car charging point if you need it.

The conversion has kept character while adding comfort. A standalone bathtub is a feature worth noting if you like a long soak. The location puts you within reach of the Peak District's walking country and Chatsworth House is a short drive away. Groups looking for space to gather will find it here; the owners can also arrange a private chef if you want to mark something special. Note that smoking is not permitted.
