Description
New Harborough Farmhouse is an utterly wonderful old farmhouse that provides a superb holiday retreat. Within its thick stone walls and under its traditional beamed ceilings you will find a magnificent lounge, separate dining area, superb kitchen, five bedrooms with wonderfully comfortable beds, four bathrooms and even two log burning stoves. Add crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, cashmere throws, original works of art, and lovely antiques and you realise this is a very special place to host a family escape.
The farmhouse is one of a group of cottages, converted from the old farm buildings, situated in its own secret valley surrounded by farmland (a working farm lies just beyond). The High Peak Trail for walkers and cyclists is close by. Carsington Water with its water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching is just over the hill. The lovely historic town of Wirksworth with heritage railway, heritage trail, Northern Lights little cinema and many a pub and restaurant is just five minutes' drive away.
There are also lots of other Peak District attractions in the surrounding hills. Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside promenade is not to be missed. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the Derwent Valley. Venture beyond famous Bakewell and you are in the real Peaks with sparkling rivers, picturesque villages, incredible views from the gritstone edges and country pubs galore.

Location
BRASSINGTON
Brassington is a very picturesque village with a muddle of cottages tumbling down the hillside nestling in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. Close to the lovely Georgian market town of Ashbourne as well as the historic lead mining town of Wirksworth there are few better places to base your holiday. But best of all the village has two great pubs. Ye Olde Gate Inn is a 17th century unspoilt village inn that has been named Britain’s cosiest pub. Alternatively get a very warm welcome in the Miners Arms that does great food and fantastic beer.
If you enjoy the countryside, you might know that the Limestone Way that passes the village will take you out across the Peaks while the nearby Tissington Trail is just great for walking or cycling. Set virtually on the shores of Carsington Water, Derbyshire’s inland sea, there is also easy access to wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle hire, an adventure playground, visitor centre, café and craft shops.
There is lots to explore in this southern part of the Peak District. Beautiful Dove Dale has its famous stepping stones across the river or there is Manifold Dale with its ‘vanishing’ waters. Tissington with its fine Jacobean Manor, Hartington with its great cheese shop or Crowdecote with its incredible views are great local villages. You might even get as far as Alton Towers just over in Staffordshire!
Local pubs – Ye Olde Gate Inn, the Miners Arms and the Knockerdown near Carsington.
