Knoll Cottage is a spacious traditional stone cottage in a wonderful location, clinging to the side of beautiful Bradford Dale at the quieter end of picturesque Youlgreave, with wonderful views over the wooded hillsides. The cottage is comfortably furnished, with beamed ceilings and clean, white decor, panelled doors and stripped wood floors, and glowing log burning stove.
Sit on the sunny patio and soak up the silence as the mist floats up through the trees and the valley comes awake. Wander along to the little village shops to buy your newspaper, eggs and bacon for breakfast or a picnic lunch for later. A stroll down the Dale (the public footpath runs directly in front of the cottage) will be next to spot the kingfishers in the river before setting off again to explore the rest of the Peak District.
With those wider horizons you might fancy nearby Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell. Or Caudwell's heritage and craft centre, Carsington's water sports, Crich's fantastic tramway and Castleton's Blue John caverns.
