Woodview Lodge

Woodview Lodge comes ready for a self-catering break with the essentials covered—electricity, heating, wifi, bed linen and towels are included. The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, so you can cook properly or travel light. A Freeview TV, DVD and CD player in the living area mean rainy-day entertainment is sorted. The property is all on the ground floor, with ramp access, two bedrooms (one double, one with two singles), and a shower room.

This is your own space, detached from the owner's home, set in Cutthorpe village among open countryside. A decked garden with furniture and electric barbecue looks out over fields. There's parking for two cars on site and a pub within a mile. One dog is welcome. The Peak District and its walking trails are minutes away; Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Bakewell and Buxton are all reachable in under 30 minutes, and Alton Towers about an hour. The location works equally well as a base for exploring or simply for a quiet retreat. No smoking in the property.
