Private annex at Peak District riverside location

A private, self-contained, en-suite annex, next to the River Wye, in a tranquil setting. Direct access to decking & shared garden so you can enjoy the water, wildlife and countryside. Food prep area with fridge, microwave, sink, kettle & toaster. Plenty of walks from the doorstep, cycle routes and climbing opportunities. Perfectly located to explore the Peak District. Car highly recommended. All on the ground floor, this is a modern extension built in 2006. As a new build, it is well insulated, has underfloor heating and has floor to ceiling glass on two sides to ensure it is light and airy. There is a king size bed, TV, table and 2 chairs where you can enjoy your tea/coffee whilst watching TV or taking in the view of the river and the visiting wildlife. You have direct access to the decking and garden (shared with the owners) for a real riverside location. Through a door you have a small food prep room with fridge (with small freezer compartment), sink, microwave, toaster, cutlery, crockery and glasses. Another door then takes you into your private shower room, also with underfloor heating. Towels and bedding are provided. There is 'Rural speed' broadband. Mobile signal is poor (or non-existent), but you can use WiFi calling if your phone and carrier support it - many do. We provide local OS Maps (1:25k) and some guide books for you to use during your stay. Access to the entrance porch, bedroom, utility, en-suite shower room, decking, garden and grounds. We live here and Stephen works from home so there is nearly always someone here to help with queries or ideas for places to go and things to do. The annex is separated from the house by an internal door so we can leave you in peace, or you can easily find us. Cressbrook Mill is a picturesque and quiet, rural location at the end of Monsal Dale. The property is perfectly located for walking, cycling, climbing and exploring the Peak District. There are numerous walks straight from the doorstep including the Monsal Trail (via path), Cressbrook Dale and walking along the beautiful River Wye via Water-cum-Jolly Dale. Monsal Head, with Stable Bar and Hobbs Cafe (limited opening hours), is a mile away on foot and can be reached without walking on the road. The popular Packhorse country pub is about a mile and a half, in Little Longstone. Both are a downhill walk on the way back! The Monsal Trail is also perfect for an easy bike ride or there are many bridleways and trails if you have a mountain bike and are more adventurous. For climbing, the Rubicon Wall is just 200m away. A venue that many climbers travel for miles to get to, or make special holiday arrangements to be near. A short walk (up hill) to Cressbrook Hall (wedding venue) There is private parking next to the front door. There is a bus stop 200m away Hulleys of Baslow service 173, but only one or two buses a day. More service 173 buses run from Monsal Head, 1 mile away. Taxis need booking in advance and there aren't that many around, so you need to plan well. No Uber. We would highly recommend a car if you stay here. We would highly recommend a car if you stay with us, especially in Winter. We have two dogs and a cat all very friendly, but if you do have allergies it's worth knowing. Broadband speed is "rural". Please note - usually there is no mobile phone signal in the property (ideal for some guests!?). Some networks may get a weak signal outside at times. Mobile signal is poor (or non-existent), but you can use WiFi calling if your phone and carrier support it - many do - we have a landline you can use if needed.. The walks, including those to the pubs or bus stop at Monsal Head, involve walking on tracks and trails (or you can walk along the country lane - no pavement).
