Living room: Smart TV, Woodburner
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Utility Room: Washing Machine
Separate Toilet.

Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Biomass central heating (underfloor on ground floor), electricity, air conditioning, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Highchair and stairgate. Initial fuel for wood burner included. Welcome pack. Rear garden with patio and garden furniture. Hot tub for 6 (private). Bike store. 1 pet welcome, £35, payable on arrival. Electric car charging point, at cost. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: There is a step to the garden.. Carefully restored with painstaking attention to detail, this wonderful cottage offers guests two first floor bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities with rainfall showers, so no queuing for the bathroom here! The ground floor boasts an open plan kitchen/dining room, and a cosy living room to relax in beside the crackling wood burner after a busy day exploring.
From the kitchen/dining room, open the door out to a private, pretty courtyard with seating and your very own private hot tub to enjoy, a perfect place for family and friends alike to spend quality time together. Breathe in the clean fresh air from the mechanical ventilation and heating system.
White Heather Barn has lovely views of the surrounding countryside from the front of the property and benefits from lots of lovely walks straight from the front doorstep. It makes a fine base for touring the Peak District – lying in an area offering a wealth of attractions for visitors. For those with a penchant for shopping, the Amber Valley Individual Factory Shops Trail is a must and includes a retail outlet, Denby Potteries and Royal Crown Derby. There are farmers’ and regular weekly markets in many of the nearby towns including Bakewell and Ashbourne. Alton Towers, Britain’s premier theme park, is close by. Younger children will also enjoy Gulliver’s Kingdom at nearby Matlock. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the excellent facilities at Carsington Water, whilst Shipley Country Park has miles of meandering footpaths and bridleways. At the Midland Railway Centre, transport enthusiasts can take in the nostalgia of the age of steam and travel through countryside for 7 miles. Meanwhile the National Tramway Museum at Crich offers a family day out in a relaxing atmosphere of a bygone era, and the Midland Railway Centre is within walking distance.
Stately homes gracing the area include Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall (a fine medieval manor house) and Hardwick Hall and Kedleston Hall (a fine example of the architecture of Robert Adam). All in all a fantastic base to explore this wonderful area.

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was beautiful and so comfortable. Heather baked us a chocolate cake and put a bottle of prosecco and some milk in the fridge.The hot tub was amazing and we would love to book again in the future.

The cottage was exactly what we were after. We arrived and didn't need to leave until checking out time. The nature reserve has some nice walks, where we wore out our terrier before relaxing in the hot tub.

Modern clean cottage, friendly hosts. We really enjoyed our stay over the New year., 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog. Some nice walks straight from the front door, which was great having the dog. Couple pubs in walking distance, Lovely hot tub which split up the chilled days when stayed in. Travelled to Matlock Bath and Bakewell easily, with the latter go early as it can get very busy……Oh and Comfy beds.
