Description from owner

Description

Set in the beautiful valley of Blackbrook, 'The Mistal' has been converted into a spacious, warm and comfortable holiday cottage.

Beautifully set on the ground floor level, the well-equipped semi-detached cottage has one bedroom with a king size bed, which can be divided into two singles.

There is a three-piece bathroom with shower over the bath. All bedding and towels are included; a hair-dryer is also provided. The living and dining area has ample seating and includes a flatscreen TV with Freeview. Free WiFi is also available. For those clear days there is a south-facing patio area which has seating for up to four people.

Through an archway is a modern well-equipped kitchen which features a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, fridge, gas hob and an electric oven. A washing machine is available on request to guests of both our cottages, which is housed in a separate utility building. An iron and ironing board are located in the cottage.

Off road parking for one car is located within the property grounds. We cannot provide charging at this stage for electric vehicles but there are charging points available in Belper, approximately five minutes' drive away.

The hamlet of Blackbrook is ideal for walkers and has a criss-cross of public footpaths to suit all levels of fitness in the immediate local area; the Midshires way passes directly past the property. There is a local bus service hourly which connects with many of the local market towns, the closest being the market town of Belper 2 km away and a pleasant walk across the fields by the river. There you will find a wide range of cafe's, restaurants and pubs which serve traditional fare and a wide range of international cuisine. There are country pubs within a 2-minute drive from your cottage. You will find local independent shops and a supermarket in Belper's thriving community.

The 6.1 bus has a stop right outside the property hourly, which provides easy access to Belper, Derby or Matlock. This operates from early morning with the last service of the day arriving to Blackbrook just after 11pm (Mon - Sat).

A second adjoining two bedroom property, 'The Byre', ( property ID 614599) is also available for rental if more space is needed for a larger party of people. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate children as the garden area is unsuitable.
