Perfect for couples, small families and friends wanting a rural getaway, set deep in the Peak District National Park, surrounded by rolling countryside and situated next to the owner's home. Explore the wildlife, and local crafts such as pottery, painting and furniture making. Spend a day at The Roaches, approximately 7 miles away, a prominent rocky ridge above Leek – take the walk to the top and enjoy the stunning views of Tittesworth Reservoir, or follow the old pack horse trails across the moors. Bring your bike for cycling and touring the many farm tracks and sample the food and drink to be had in the traditional old pubs. The spa town of Buxton is within 10 miles and offers independent shops, cafes, museums, galleries, and the famous opera house which hosts events throughout the year. Chatsworth House and Gardens, and Alton Towers for the young at heart are both within 16 miles.

Step into the open-plan living space which is great to keep all of the family together when relaxing, cook up a hearty breakfast in the kitchen, come together around the dining table, and put your feet up by the Smart TV on the comfy sofas at the end of the day. Open the stable door and let the air in during the warmer months. The cottage also benefits from a useful downstairs WC. Head upstairs to find two pretty bedrooms, both offering Smart TVs and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. The second bedroom has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, which can be made up as twin beds if required, with a skylight window set into the eaves bringing in lots of light and plenty of books for the little ones to enjoy. Both bedrooms are served by the nearby shower room to get you ready for the day's adventures ahead.

Outside, there is a patio with seating and charcoal BBQ, surrounded by an enclosed lawned area and two wildlife ponds.

We had the most wonderful stay at The Bothy. In a beautiful and peaceful rural setting, it was still ideally located for exploring the area of the Peaks we wished to see. Close enough for easy day trips to Bakewell, Heights of Abraham, Chatsworth, and the views made the drive a pleasure.

A very peaceful setting. The cottage was clean and well-equipped. With sloping ceilings upstairs and especially in the shower room, it was easy to bump your head. Perhaps not ideal for people over 6 foot tall.

We would wholly recommend The Bothy, it was as perfect an accommodation as you could hope for in this setting. The perfect blend of characterful, authentic aesthetics with modern facilities and ease. The views were outstanding and our hosts attentive. There's no doubt we will be returning soon.

The cottage is lovely, with excellent outdoor space. Some lovely touches on arrival (croissants, fresh bread etc). Our son (who is 62) struggled somewhat with the upstairs bathroom due to it being in the eaves, but other than that we had a lovely stay.
