Tucked away in the heart of the Peak District, a stay in this 1840s mill workers' cottage in Cressbrook places you and your family in one of Derbyshire's most scenic settings. Overlooking the beautiful Wye Valley, this lovely village is a tranquil base for enjoying the area's iconic limestone scenery, rolling dales, and riverside walks, ideal for little explorers and grown-up adventurers alike. Exit from your front door onto walking and cycling trails that wind through dramatic landscapes and lead to hidden valleys, with picnic-perfect spots dotted along the way. Visit the market towns of Bakewell and Buxton (both within 10 miles), where you can browse independent shops and family-friendly cafes, or sample local favourites like Bakewell pudding. The wider area is packed with things to do within a 10 - 20-mile radius. Head underground to explore spectacular show caverns, visit fairytale castles and stately homes, or climb to scenic viewpoints for jaw-dropping views of the National Park.
Enter into a beautifully restored retreat that marries timeless character with modern comfort. The front door opens into a warm and welcoming living room, where plush seating and a traditional wood burner create a wonderful setting for cosy evenings after a day exploring the hills. Just beyond, the well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or a relaxed supper. At the rear, a bright and airy conservatory doubles as a dining space, where you can savour every meal with peaceful views of the nearby countryside. There is also a handy shower room with a WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find the modern bathroom and three thoughtfully styled bedrooms; two doubles and a single, each blending period charm with contemporary touches to ensure a restful night's sleep.
The tiered front garden, with stunning uninterrupted views across the Wye Valley, invites you to enjoy your morning coffee and later unwind with a glass of wine in hand. There is also a small enclosed courtyard to the rear. Free parking is available in a small public car park 100 metres down the road and further parking on the lane below the cottage.
