5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)

5 Star holiday cottage with its own private indoor pool. Situated in Thorpe, a delightful village at the southern end of the White Peak area of the Peak National Park, Thorpe Cloud View cottage is a charming holiday location within the four-acre grounds of, but set apart from, Thorpe House, a late Georgian limestone grade two listed building of considerable character. The cottage, allocated the top rating of five stars, has uninterrupted views of Thorpe Cloud, at the entrance to Dovedale, the limestone gorge which separates Derbyshire and Staffordshire. The surrounding areas provide excellent walking. The picturesque Derbyshire market town of Ashbourne is just some 3 miles away; the spa town of Buxton, and the historic houses of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall and Kedleston are all within easy access. Alton Towers, the UK’s largest leisure park is only a twenty-minute drive away. Arrival is from 3pm and departure before 9:30am.

Fantastic cottage for our short break. Communication with owner and directions to the property were perfect. The cottage was spotless on arrival and the pool was even better than the photos. The surrounding area was beautiful and great for walking. All in all one of the best short breaks we’ve ever had.

Fantastic Peaks Property
We had a fabulous 3- night break at this beautiful property. Ray, the property owner, was very welcoming and helpful and the property itself is perfectly located, spotlessly clean, well equipped and beautifully furnished. The swimming pool is a fantastic feature which we made use of every day. A great short break and we will definitely be returning.

Lovely stay…
Lovely, well equipped cottage. Small for a family of 4x, but that is what we expected and it is how the place is described. However, the location, hosts and the exclusive use of the fantastic (large!) indoor pool all meant we had a brilliant stay and would happily return another time….

Thorpe Cloud Cottage - EXCELLENT
This was an excellent cottage in a very quiet location and having our own pool was perfect. The hosts were great and on site, provided everything you needed (including a nice bottle of Prosecco) - But left us enough space to enjoy our holiday. I would definitely recommend this for a quiet, peaceful getaway and an opportunity to explore the Peak District, as the location is perfect for either walking or driving around. I am sure we will be returning !!

Cottage was lovely and owners were great at ensuring we had all the info required. Our long weekend was perfect. Only comment we would make was if the check out time could be a little later. Overall we would definitely visit again and would recommend to friends and family.

Clean well appointed cottage in beautiful surroundings
A delightful cottage. Roomy, clean and well appointed. En suite and separate shower room. Private and lovely views from the back. Front shares a drive with the main house (which is not visible from the sitting area at the back) and access to the separate swimming pool building. The pool is excellent with a good length for swimming, and with an attached jacuzzi. Overall an excellent base for relaxing and exploring the Derbyshire countryside.

We had a lovely stay here. It was spotless, well equipped and the host Ray was friendly and helpful with any requests. Thank you for the milk too, it was much appreciated! We loved the private swimming pool, this is a great feature to have after exploring the local area. We hope to come back again next year!

A lovely cottage in a great location and so handy for the hike up Thorpe Cloud and to Dove Holes. Peaceful in the evenings watching the light changing over Thorpe Cloud. And the pool is brilliant. If only the weather hadn't let us down.

The cottage was lovely and warm and has all the little extras you don’t always get, such as boxes of tissues, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. The pool was spotless and so warm. Garden and view was beautiful. We could easily walk to Thorpe Cloud and the nearest pub. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was even better than expected, and was warm, comfortable, very well equipped, and spotlessly clean. Set in a quiet, and peaceful location, with views of the surrounding countryside. The swimming pool was definitely an added bonus, and was much bigger than it looks on the photos. We really enjoyed our stay, and didn't want to leave.

Pure Bliss!
What a little gem of a property, my husband and I found ourselves daydreaming about winning the lottery and living in this cottage for the rest of our days! We were so lucky with the weather, the setting is beautiful. The cottage was clean and very warm and cosy - I will say from the pictures I thought it may be a little cold, but it definitely wasnt! Also cute flowers on our arrival and an anniversary card! So thoughtful. The pool area was immaculate and the pictures do not do it justice, the size is perfect and my glasses steamed up just walking through the doors! The bed was super comfy and I have now actually purchased the same bedding! All in all a perfect trip that will not be forgotten, thank you so much 😊

The cottage was really quaint and everything in it was of excellent quality The owner was available if required but did not interfere in our break. The pool and hot-tub were a real luxury, amazingly clean and very private. As for the location, wow, stunning views, really quiet and surrounded by beautiful walk opportunities. This is a perfect getaway from life’s hustles, a place to completely recharge your batteries.

Great short break in a wonderful part of the country
A well-equipped warm and comfortable cottage with some very thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub just across the path - which were private and surprisingly large. The cottage was brilliantly situated for Dovedale and Ilam Park in the immediate vicinity - and the rest of the Peak District to the North and North West. Larger towns such as Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton are a shortish drive on good roads. Hosts were welcoming - we had a much needed few days in a lovely place.
