Nestled in the heart of the dramatic Peak District, this romantic cottage is surrounded by stunning scenery and offers the perfect base to couples and solo travellers planning adventures across the national park. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here thanks to the many nearby walking trails where far-reaching views and local wildlife await. Start with the Grindlow and Foolow circular route, or up the ante with a slightly longer walk along the Great Hucklow circular trail (both within 2 miles). The famous Monsal Trail (4 miles) is perfect for any cyclists, with beautiful views, and historic railway tunnels and viaducts waiting along its course. For memorable days out that celebrate the Peak District’s history and beauty, head to popular destinations that include Eyam (4 miles), Castleton (6 miles), Bakewell (8 miles), Buxton (10 miles), and Chatsworth House (12 miles).

Upon entering this welcoming cottage, you'll be greeted by a well-equipped kitchen/diner that seamlessly blends modern amenities with countryside charm. Here, find everything you need to prepare and enjoy delicious meals after days of adventure, including a cosy dining table. After savouring the chef’s work, walk through to the lounge to unwind for the evening. If it’s chilly out, fire up the contemporary flame-effect electric fire and bask in its warming glow as you sink into the soft furnishings in front of the Smart TV. At the end of each busy day away, climb the cottage stairs to the first floor and find a sumptuous super-king-size bedroom, which can be converted to a twin room on request thanks to its zip-and-link beds. Make use of the ample space and storage in this room, and each morning, kickstart your day with a soak in the well-appointed en-suite shower room.

Outside, enjoy the patio, where bench seating offers the ideal spot for relaxing. Guests will also benefit from private parking for 1 car.
