Accessible accommodation right by the Monsal Trail

Woodlands is a self-contained accommodation building that sleeps up to 10 people with accessible facilities and equipment. It has been designed to cater for families / groups which include those with additional needs and is located with fantastic views down our fields and into mature woodland overlooking our Sky Ropes and Yurt. The lounge has bi-fold doors that lead onto an enclosed decking and patio area with seating and a small charcoal BBQ (please bring your own charcoal). A 50” wall mounted TV, Blu-ray player and Bluetooth speaker are provided for entertainment. The dining table can seat up to 10 people and the comfortable sofa seating will cater for 5 people (padded dining chairs for additional people) along with a coffee table. Inside the cupboard is a fold down king size bed so the lounge can be used as sleeping accommodation. The fully equipped kitchen comes with an oven/grill, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, utensils, pots/pans and a dishwasher. The accessible bedroom sleeps 5 people in 2 bunk beds and 1 single profiling bed (that can also be used as a standard single bed) with an en-suite accessible shower room. This also leads to a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. The other bedroom sleeps 4 people in a super king bed (that can be split into twin beds) and a bunk bed – please let us know if you want the super king bed splitting into twin beds at the time of booking. Next to the bedroom is a shower room. Outside there is a fenced woodland space to the rear and access to the outside toilet. The building is energy efficient with excellent insulation, triple glazing and green energy use in the form of a ground source heating system which provides under floor heating. The kitchen worktops and splash backs are made from recycled materials. The cedar shingle roof and cedar cladding protect the building and look great, a water butt helps us to re-use rain water on the garden. There is a disabled parking space right outside the front door. Around 5 days before your visit we will email across information about the accommodation and how to access the key lockbox (with photos of its location). We will provide an information folder in the lounge which contains all the information you would need when staying in the accommodation, including emergency contact numbers. Instructions for the appliances are included in the information folder. Please note that the departure time is 9am apart from a Sunday when it is 5pm. Woodlands is in a picturesque location with views down fields and out onto mature woodlands. It is the perfect base to make the most of our fantastic Peak District surroundings. An access ramp to the Monsal Trail, which is a flat traffic free route that travels 8.5 miles between Bakewell & Blackwell Mill near Buxton and is popular with walkers and cyclists, is 250 metres from the building along the centre driveway. We are located for fantastic walking and cycling routes, the Visit Peak District website has lots of great resources and ideas for visiting the Peak District and Derbyshire. Arrival time is 4pm onwards. Departure time is 9.30am apart from a Sunday when it is 5pm.
