It is the ideal base for an active couple keen to explore the natural and cultural attractions in and around the Wolfscote and Beresford Dales. The quirky hut stands in an elevated position just off a narrow road weaving its way through the surrounding farmland and woodland.
Deceptively spacious and with plenty of room for guests on two and four paws, the hut is blessed with a series of stained glass windows that invite a kaleidoscope of colours to fall onto the rustic and contemporary soft furnishings inside. The open plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a wood burner, ample work surface space and seating, along with the cosy double bed only a few paw prints behind.
A shower room adjoins the hut and the enclosed garden area comprises a hot tub, a BBQ and seating. The Peak District National Park is a haven for walkers, cyclists and water sports lovers.
For those who prefer to take things a little slower, there is plenty to occupy nature lovers, history buffs and foodies. The latter will be well served in Hartington, a dog friendly village blessed with numerous amenities.
