Description
The Hayloft has been carefully created out of a mellow stone hay loft above a barn in the midst of the sleepy little hamlet of Snitterton. Its dramatic vaulted ceilings, attractive decoration, comfortable furniture and fittings, quality bed linen and towels, together with its wonderful setting in a secret little valley make it a really great holiday retreat.
Hidden away in beautiful Wensley Dale, locations don't come much better than this. There are superb views across the valley on all the lovely walks from the cottage. Matlock, with all its county town facilities is just five minutes’ drive over the hill.
Don't forget to visit nearby Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and the Peak Steam Railway. Other treats include Calver Edge's breathtaking views, Monsal Dale's wonderful waterfalls and the 'little Switzerland' of Matlock Bath. Make sure you get back in time for a drink on the little patio.
This first-floor property, above a barn, is accessed via an external stone staircase, with handrails.
Inside the Property:
Living Room/Kitchen: open plan and with a lovely vaulted beamed ceiling; sofa, tub chair, Sky TV, DVD player, WiFi and an contemporary flame-effect electric fire; dining area with table and chairs.

Location
MATLOCK
Matlock is a historic thriving tourist destination dating back to Victorian times when the railway reached the town and visitors used to come to take the ‘mild water cure’ in the many spa hotels. It still is very much on the tourist map today, being the ideal place from which to explore the many local attractions but also a place that really ‘lives’, with independent shops, a couple of supermarkets and Dale Road with its numerous pubs, cafes and restaurants.
Set in a cauldron of hills, there are lots of days out to be had close by. Matlock Bath has got to be on your list. A 2-penny ride on a tram at the National Tramway Museum will take you back in time. Peak Rail’s trains steam up the valley to give you another taste of the past. And then of course you can explore Sir Richard Arkwright’s Industrial Revolution village at the head of the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor.
Matlock is in the centre of everything, even when you look to the east towards Chesterfield, because this opens up another vista of attractions. Chesterfield itself with its colourful market square is worth a visit. Hardwick Hall, of Bess of Hardwick fame, is not much further. How about storming Bolsover Castle’s battlements or being one of the ‘Merry Men’ in Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.
Local pubs - The Thorn Tree, Twenty Ten Bar and the White Lion in Starkholmes.
