The Dutch Barn

In the heart of the Peak District National Park, and just 2 miles from Bakewell, this beautiful cluster of converted cottages and barns lies beside the medieval manor farm in Over Haddon, a charming village perched on the side of idyllic Lathkill Dale. Combining ancient beams, vaulted ceilings and stone walls with smart modern furnishings and fittings and a luxurious level of comfort, most of the superbly designed cottages are set around a large, peaceful, paved and lawned courtyard whilst, close by and adjoining one other similar property, Manor Barn is a splendid, ultra modern barn conversion enjoying its own garden with private hot tub. The village's renowned dining pub is just 200 yards distant and Bakewell, a picturesque, fascinating town and home of the famous Bakewell Pudding, boasts a lively Monday market, fine shopping, a museum, swimming pool and golf. Excellent walking and horse riding can be enjoyed locally and Lathkill Dale itself is a National Nature Reserve, preserving wild flower meadows, craggy fossil filled rocks, ancient woodlands and a crystal clear stream with abundant butterfiles, wildlife and birds. A host of delights lie within a short drive of Manor Court Cottages including magnificent Chatsworth House, medieval Haddon Hall and Arbor Low stone circle, which are all under 5 miles. Gulliver's Kingdom theme park and the sensational Heights of Abraham cable car rides at Matlock Bath, the world renowned caverns at Castleton and Carsington Lake's sailing, windsurfing and canoe hire and tuition are all under 10 miles. Crich Tramway Museum, a restored cotton mill, steam railway trips, a craft centre, working flour mill and a glass blowing workshop are among popular nearby attractions, and the thrills and excitement on offer at Alton Towers are 20 miles away, whilst the excellent shopping and entertainment opportunites of Sheffield, Manchester and Derby are also easily accessible.
