Hope Cross Stables - an award-winning fully accessible cottage
Hope Cross Stables is a fully accessible holiday cottage with luscious views of the verdant countryside over to Miller’s Dale in the heart of the High Peak. Specifically designed to enable a family to get away together with one member who has reduced mobility, our single-storey stable conversion provides a relaxing and serene getaway for four and is fully wheelchair friendly.
The property benefits from a generous open plan living space comprising a lounge area with a comfy three seat sofa and riser recliner, a dining zone, and fully equipped kitchen area. The large sliding living room doors lead onto a flat barbecue terrace with 360 access and amazing views over the rolling Derbyshire hills.

The king-size bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the twin room features a profiling and electric tilting bed, a mobile hoist and emergency fire door system for maximum safety.

Underfloor heating throughout the cottage is another touch of luxury and is zoned with independent controls for each room.
