One of just six houses in the parish of Gratton, Dale End House is found on a quiet lane between Elton and Youlgreave. It enjoys unspoilt countryside, popular with walkers and mountain bikers alike yet is only six miles from Bakewell and Matlock.

Self-catering accommodation is available at The Lodge, a stone built former milking parlour set within the grounds of this fine Grade II listed Derbyshire long house.

The Lodge has recently been loving restored to an exceptionally high standard. It has a large open plan lounge with sofa and TV, a dining area and shower room. Under floor heating throughout.

The bedroom has an antique double bed with down duvet and feather pillows romantically lit by a crystal chandelier. Decorated throughout with fine furnishings and historical colours.

Overlooking a courtyard with ducks, goats, chickens and a traditional 2 storey stable block on one side and open fields, sheep and a babbling brook on the other.

There is ample parking and secure indoor space for bikes; with 4 stables you can even bring your horse!

The Lodge is non-smoking.

Obedient dogs are welcome for a small additional cost.

We discovered the house whilst mountain biking through Gratton Dale and instantly fell in love with it. Surrounded by breathtaking views, and abundant wildlife - Gratton is one of Derbyshire’s best-kept secrets.
