Merveilleux cottage convivial et familial avec jardin | Avec animaux bienvenus

Little Mill is a charming first-floor apartment resting in the sought-after parish of Ashover, Derbyshire, set within a characterful old mill with the River Amber running alongside. Ideal for a couple or solo traveller, with two well-behaved pets welcome, this inviting retreat offers a relaxed base surrounded by rolling countryside and village life. Step inside to find a handy area for coats and boots before heading into the open-plan living space, where yellow appliances, wooden cupboards and a view of the garden from the sink window add plenty of character. Prepare simple suppers in the well-equipped kitchen, dine together at the drop-leaf table, then curl up in the sitting area in front of the electric woodburning-stove-effect fire with a film on the Smart TV or a board game. At the end of the day, retire to the double bedroom, which offers hanging space for your belongings and an en-suite walk-in double shower room. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee at the bistro table in the non-enclosed garden area, listen to the river, and look out for wild garlic in abundance at the right time of year, or wander through the shared grounds to the picnic table and straight onto local walking paths, with a designated off-lead area for pets and lockable bike storage in the garage. Ashover itself is widely regarded as one of Derbyshire's prettiest villages, with a shop, grocer, café, post office, medical centre, and a choice of welcoming pubs, alongside village sports clubs and a children's play area. From here you can explore heritage trails, historic mills, canal paths and grand country estates including Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, while nearby Chesterfield and Matlock offer broader amenities and rail links. With the A38 and M1 within easy reach for days out to Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham, Little Mill makes a delightful base in the Amber Valley. Choose a peaceful and romantic getaway at Little Mill. The small, rural village of Ashover is peacefully situated in the Amber Valley, just five miles from Matlock. The village has several good pubs, including the Crispin Inn, renowned as one of the oldest pubs in the Peak District and The Old Poets' Corner which offers home-brewed Ashover ales. The county town of Matlock, a former spa town, offers a host of fine eating places, good shops and an interesting museum, whilst at the heart of the town, Hall Leys Park provides a lovely setting for a host of recreational activities such as bowls, tennis and boating. Enjoy a thrilling day at Gulliver's Kingdom, with its owl maze, water gardens, nature trails, exhilarating rides and cable car trips over the magnificent Matlock Gorge. Follow the High Peak Cycle Trail, explore the lovely market town of Bakewell, famous for the Bakewell pudding, or visit the elegant Chatsworth House and Hardwick Hall where it all started for the Cavendish family. There is certainly plenty to see and do at this wonderful location!
