If you're a city-dweller keen to escape the hustle and bustle for a few days, we'd like to draw your attention towards this cute cottage found in the south of the Peak District. The interior is full of rustic charm in the shape of exposed stonework, wooden beams, a flagstone floor and a log burner that's perfect for gathering around on chilly evenings. Upstairs, a comfy bed lies underneath a high-pitched roof and we can promise you that you won't hear a peep from the world outside come bedtime. When the day ahead looks sunny, there's a table and seats out on the front patio for an alfresco breakfast, but guests are also free to roam the surrounding grounds of Alstonefield Manor. Further afield, there's a cave, an old mill and a scenic valley all within walking distance, but there's also a pub within two minutes' walk if you're craving civilisation at any point.
