Woodpecker Cottage is a superb cottage providing classy accommodation. One of a group of three (left part of the building in the photos), forming part of the former coach house and stables of Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion at the end of a quiet country lane with super views across the valley and a cauldron of Peak District hills as a magnificent backdrop. Its beamed ceilings, stone flagged floors, wood burning stove, luxurious lounge and quality dining kitchen combine with beautiful bedrooms and fantastic en suite bathrooms.
Get up early and spot the woodpeckers and other birds that live in the extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast in the extensive grounds, with a choice of outdoor dining spaces, before exploring the numerous local walks. A wander down the valley will get you to the bustling village with its local shops and great pubs. This is an excellent holiday location within easy reach of Derbyshire's many visitor attractions.
For exciting days out, how about a trip to Castleton's Blue John caverns and castle, Bakewell's famous Monday market, Monsal Trail and waterfalls, Great Hucklow's gliders, Calver's breathtaking views and even Chatsworth House for a very special treat.
