Two beautifully furnished romantic cottages with hot tubs – in a glorious Peak District location
Run by the Slack family of the lovely nearby Dannah Farm B&B, Dannah Cottages is made up of two supremely relaxing and rather romantic places to stay – the invitingly named Honeysuckle Cottage and Heather Cottage. These two stunning one-bedroom stone cottages, beautifully renovated over a period of several years, are situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park, in the quaint village of Kirk Ireton, just outside Ashbourne – a thriving market town that's long been known as the gateway to the Peak District.
The two old beamed, semi-detached properties have been lovingly restored and have a spruce, throughly up-to-date feel. Each has a bedroom with an enormous six-foot contemporary four-poster bed, fashioned from reclaimed beams, and an en-suite bathroom with a double bath and double-shower cube and a heated floor. Downstairs, each has a bright, modern kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, washer-dryer and TV, and oak-beamed sitting rooms with romantic tunnel fire bowls and large Smart TVs. They also both open onto a terrace with a hand-crafted barbecue, perfect for some al fresco dining. But what really sets them apart are the Canadian spa hot tubs that are just waiting for you to jump in. Heather Cottage also boasts a downstairs wetroom, handy for those using the hot tub; the 'Den', which is equipped with bean bags, magazines and indoor and outdoor games; and a very luxurious barrel-shaped sauna. You can also enjoy everything Heather Cottage has to offer with your pampered pooch – one dog is welcome.
Above all, though, both cottages are memorable for the little luxuries that lurk around every corner, from the wine chilling in the fridge to fresh flowers and luxurious toiletries, all of which make them a perfect romantic hideaway for two – ideal for simply kicking back and relaxing. Kirk Ireton is a lovely village and there's a village pub and shop just across the road, and the cottages are extremely well placed for enjoying the best of the southern Peaks, close to picturesque Dovedale and Carsington Water, with the Tissington Trail and Limestone Way passing close by. But if you want to spend the odd day at home, well... we wouldn't blame you!
