Description
Located within the lovely grounds of Offcote Grange, a historic coaching house dating back to the 1600s, this delightful former workers’ bothy has been sympathetically restored to provide a large 5 star self-catering cottage of luxury and quality. Billy’s Bothy is a warm brick built self-catering cottage with attractive arched windows and a feature oak and glass gable end wall which overlooks a private patio, garden area and lush green meadows.
All rooms have light beamed ceilings and feature revealed brick walls throughout, giving character, charm and a welcoming ambience when you enter this lovely luxury holiday cottage. With magnificent views across open countryside this lovely Peak District self-catering cottage nestles peacefully amidst 10 acres of private landscaped gardens with flower meadows and a lake - a tranquil haven in which to relax and unwind, or to get together with friends, family or colleagues. Meals and pampering are available to our guests on request.
Centrally located in the scenic Derbyshire Dales and edging the magnificent Peak District National Park the location is superb for discovering all this fabulous county has to offer. Walk the many beautiful dales, visit the abundance of historical houses, including Chatsworth and Sudbury, or explore the mysterious caves at Castleton. Close by is Carsington Water with its cycle hire and water sports centre. Activities abound around us with paintballing, quad biking, archery, clay pigeon shooting, golf, fishing and tennis amongst the many things to try. A visit to the steam or tramway museums or the thrills and spills of Alton Towers premier theme park is a must. This area promises you a holiday to remember.
Billy’s Bothy is an ‘upside down’ house and is built into a bank giving both floors ground floor access. All rooms are beautifully furnished with bespoke hand-made pine and coordinated furnishings, as you would expect from luxury accommodation in Derbyshire. On the first floor is a large lounge with a feature oak and glass gable giving access to the patio and garden area. There are 4 comfortable sofas on which to relax after those long days out including 1 sofa bed, and a cosy wood burning stove gives extra ambience to this beautiful room. Off the lounge is our first double bedroom with en suite bathroom.
From the lounge you enter the dining room, where the central focus is a large hand made table with seating for 14 people, perfect for those intimate meals with friends and family. From the dining room to the fabulous galleried kitchen which overlooks the main entrance hall. Beautifully fitted with hand made pine units with granite worktops, the kitchen is a delight to create in, being extremely well equipped with all you will need. At the far end of the kitchen area is a second double en suite bedroom.
All bedrooms have comfortable, character brass and cast iron or pine beds, WI FI and LCD TVs with free view, and are beautifully fitted for your comfort. On the ground floor are 2 double en suite bedrooms and 1 twin en suite bedroom with 2 fold up beds. Also on this floor but separate to the main cottage is a 6th twin en suite bedroom which can be hired separately to give a sleeping capacity of 16 plus cots. The feature hand made oak stairs lead from the main entrance hall up into the galleried kitchen, where you will find there is a safety stair gate at the top.
This is a beautiful holiday cottage suitable for children and elderly alike. A location where you are free to wander the grounds, meet the chickens and be at one with nature. There is plenty of space for children to play, and lovely grounds for parents to relax in whilst keeping an eye on them.
On site we have a sauna which is available to guests to help you unwind after a heavy day out. A cinema screen is also available to watch large screen films by arrangement, children must be accompanied by an adult.
Whatever your needs please ask and we will do our best to accommodate.
