Looking for some superb accommodation for up to 15 people in a sleepy Derbyshire village in the heart of a national park? The Old Bakehouse absolutely fits the bill.
Our group of 12 booked the whole place for a long weekend and it was fantastic - the converted building is much larger than you'd think from the road as you pull in (the driveway has space for five cars).
On the ground floor there's a utility room, large dining room, downstairs loo, cosy snug, decently-sized kitchen diner and spacious living room with access out to the sprawling garden.
Upstairs you'll find six bedrooms (with a combination of double and single beds) two bathrooms, and two separate shower rooms.
There are lots of rustic features throughout the building, though it's been tastefully converted and modernised - the kitchen has mod cons such as a dishwasher and large cooker (electric hob) so you can prepare meals for big groups with ease.
The private, walled and lawned garden really makes it a great space for enjoying some drinks and food outdoors - it's not overlooked and the surrounding area is very quiet so be mindful of the neighbours if you're planning on arranging anything 'lively' outside :)
It's only a short walk into the village of Calver and some exceptional walks through the Peak District countryside. I only wish it was a family member's holiday home so we could come back regularly! read more
