Wetton, an unspoiled village hidden deep in the Derbyshire Dales close to Dovedale and the Manifold Valley, is a beautiful village in a gorgeous area.  The village struck us looking French - the houses are all grey stone and the curved lanes create little enclaves.

These adjacent cottages are literally at the starting point of a walking trail into the Peak National Park.  The Royal Oak, a good eating pub, is only 100 yards from the property.

This semi-attached property, next door to the town church, has two cottages for rent, Ivy Cottage and The Reading Room.  Each can be rented separately or they can be rented together.  There is a connecting passage on the ground floor between the two cottages, with a lockable privacy door.

Ivy House Accommodates 6 - 7 3 bedrooms, a king, a double with extra single bed, a twin 2 bathrooms While this house has a more formal front entrance, true to village life, most enter through the side door, directly into the kitchen.  The kitchen has a dishwasher, washer, freezer, electric hop and oven and a utility room.

The burgundy-walled dining room is the heart of the house.  It has exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a wood stove insert.  The antique mahogany table can seat 10 - 12.
 

Across the hall, the comfortable sitting room has exposed beams, a wood stove, video, radio/cassette/CD.  This is not a high-style room, but it is spacious and very attractive and traditional.
 

Upstairs, there are 3  bedrooms, a bedroom with king size four poster bed, an en suite bedroom with a double bed and a single bed, a twin bedroom.  The en suite bathroom has a tub and the hallway bathroom has a tub and a separate shower.

There is a rather small enclosed garden with a patio and barbecue.  There is off-street parking for 3 cars.

If entering from the Ivy House, one goes directly into the kitchen.  If entering from outside, there is a small reception hall that leads to the sitting room.  The sitting room is terrific.  It has exposed beams, fireplace, a leather Chesterfield sofa, a coral-colored sofa, a large coral and gold ottoman that can double as a coffee table.  There is a video and CD player.  It has golden walls, antiques, light coming in through large windows that overlook the village.

Upstairs, there is a double bedroom and a hallway bathroom with a tub and shower-over-tub. The cottage has its own small garden/ patio/ barbecue.  Off street parking for one car; additional spaces on street.
