The Stables at Rocking Stone Farm - Self-catering cottage in Derbyshire
Rocking Stone Farm, Birchover, DE4 2BL, Derbyshire
England,
Regno Unito
An open-plan layout and high, beamed ceilings give a roomy feel to this romantic bolthole. It's cosy in winter with the wood-burner blazing merrily, top-notch designer lighting, underfloor heating and sink-into sofa – just the ticket for staying in and watching the weather through the large windows. On balmy days you'll be out on one of two patio areas, chasing the sun, having al fresco lunches and suppers, enjoying views across the adjacent fields and out into the countryside beyond.
The bedroom has a well-dressed bed, plump feather and down pillows and duvet and a large window opposite – sitting up in bed with a morning cup of tea will warm the cockles of your heart. The shower room has a capacious rain shower and you're left big fluffy towels.
Cooks will be happy in the hand-painted wooden kitchen, well equipped with all you need and with plenty of basics. Kind Rachael leaves you home-baked chocolate brownies as a welcome.
