  • Delightful stone holiday cottage tucked away in the village of Elton in the Peak District National Park
  • Cosy accommodation for a couple seeking a romantic, Derbyshire getaway together
  • Charming walled cottage garden where you can unwind out in the sunshine after walks
Property code: OC-DCTCO

The Cottage is a super little place hidden away in a jumble of cottages in the picturesque Peak District village of Elton. It boasts a warm and comfortable interior with a cosy lounge gathered around the glowing log burning stove, sunny conservatory in the traditional cottage garden, compact ultra-modern kitchen and a lovely double bedroom and adjoining dressing room. It’s just a perfect little retreat from which to explore all of Derbyshire.

Elton is just as special with its attractive village church and the surrounding world-famous landscape of the Peak Park. It’s wonderful to wander down peaceful Gratton Dale, explore Cratcliffe Rocks with the Hermit’s Cave or climb to the top of Robin Hood’s Stride. If you are feeling more adventurous then set off along the Limestone Way which will take you out across the tops of the Peaks all the way to Castleton.

As you walk the numerous local footpaths, cycle the trails or drive the country lanes the scenery is breathtaking with its ‘big’ skies, amazing ‘top of the world’ edges, dramatic dales with sparkling rivers and super villages. It is hard to imagine that the lovely market town of Bakewell and magnificent Chatsworth House are just a 10-minute drive away. Go a little further to find Matlock Bath with the Heights of Abraham cable cars, The Great British Car Journey, Carsington Water and the National Tramway Museum.

Beautiful and cosy little cottage in a lovely quiet village close to lots of places to visit and a perfect base for exploring the area. Owner and everyone in the village were friendly and helpful. Private garden to front was well used and lots of walks to be had from the front door. Smart TV and wifi worked well with half decent mobile signal. KitcRead morehen well supplied and a cake and brew making gear provided on arrival and very welcome. Double bed was super comfy and shower nice and powerful. Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth and plenty of other spots 15-20mins drive with great range of supermarkets, cafes and pubs. Highly recommend Chatsworth gardens for a day out and Ilam Hall was lovely. Lots of prehistoric sites in the area, Nine Sisters, Minninglow, Arbor Low and great photos to be had from Chrome Hill near Langnor. All in a great holiday for man and dog and would be happy to come back. Hide

The Cottage at Elton was very comfortable with a cosy very efficient wood burner in the lounge,a modern bathroom, well equipped modern kitchen and enclosed garden, ideal for our dog. The TV was very modern,(p'haps to modern for luddites like us!!) The cottage was near to an excellenr community shop in the next village,Winster,Winster also has an eRead morexcellent pub,The Miners Standard which was very welcoming to dogs and the food was very varied and interesting. The cottage was in easy walking distance of walks like Stanton Moor or the long distance footpath near Robin Hoods Stride,nearby; also local attractiond like Matlock and Cromford are easily accessible from the cottage Hide

Loved our stay here, cosy, clean and well presented cottage. It had everything we needed and more. After exploring near by areas and towns we could come back and unwind in-front of the log fire! Lots of info of nearby area provided in the information pack left by hosts that was really helpful. Thank you

Great location for some excellent trails. Only downside was it said pet friendly but dogs were not allowed upstairs so a stair gate would have benefited. Also could have benefited with an outside hose to clean pets and boots. Internet was a bit slow which cause tv to lag at times but was signed up to prime so lots of choice.
