This charming cottage is ideal for those wanting a rural escape. Surrounded by impressive view, it is a wonderful base for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits in stunning scenery. Cyclists delight with easy access to the Monsal Trail, just a few miles away, which offers fantastic traffic-free cycling, not forgetting the Pennine Bridleway and Limestone Way, all made for hiking or cycling. The spa town of Buxton is within 3.5 miles and provides all the usual amenities for shopping and eating out. Visit the Pavilion Gardens whilst in the town centre, which offers beautiful parkland and a boating lake. A visit to Chatsworth House is a must, as is a wander around the Market Town of Bakewell, well known for the Bakewell pudding, both within a 12-mile radius. Tideswell is the nearest village, 2 miles away, where independent shops and pubs can be found surrounded by miles of scenic footpaths to explore.

Step into the open-plan studio-style living area. The kitchen offers a handy breakfast bar to come together and plan the day's activities ahead. Equipped for all of your cooking needs it’s perfect for whipping up a tasty breakfast before your busy day exploring. Pop your feet up on the sofa and relax with your favourite show on the TV, or enjoy a lazy lie in on the comfortable king-size bed with fantastic countryside views from the perfectly placed window. There is also an en-suite shower room to get ready for the day ahead.

Outside, there is a small seating area offering wonderful views over the traditional dry-stone wall to the rolling hills beyond.

I had a wonderful stay at the Gardener's Rest. The cottage is set in a beautiful, peaceful location, with lovely views across the valley right from the bed. It was incredibly quiet and relaxing, yet had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and had far more than the usual essentials. Communication with theRead more host was easy, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would happily return if I'm ever back in the area. Highly recommended! Hide

Recently had a long weekend at Gardeners Rest. It's in a brilliant location, close enough to amenities but far enough that you're surrounded by peace and quiet. The accommodation is lovely and clean with everything you need. Perfect if (like us) have a dog and want to explore the Monsal trail and have a bite to eat in Bakewell. 5*!!

Gardeners Rest is a stunning little place that is tucked away in a perfect piece of Derbyshire. It is very comfortable, has everything you need, and an amazing shower. The location is perfect, pure countryside with Buxton only a few minutes drive away, then Bakewell and Castleton etc about 20 mins drive. I had such a peaceful holiday retreat despitRead moree the rain. The sun did shine over the hills and I could relax outside with a cuppa. Thankyou. Hide

Found the cottage a little difficult to find when we arrived but it was clean well presented, they accept two dogs I would not recommend large breed dogs as there is not much room for two large dogs. Location is quiet which was lovely and the views were great.

Lovely quiet situation with great open views. Well equipped and comfy bed. Great area for walking. -ve. Guests have no control over heating. Sitting -out area is squashed between wheelie-bins, high wall and car, so no view. Really tiny bathroom sink.

Area is very quiet, short drive to a lovely pub (anglers rest) Everything you need for a break away and a relaxing place to be. I will be looking at booking again next year. Comes with washing machine and dryer which is very handy ifRead more you're hiking a lot. Very central for a lot of places in the peak district that you'd want to visit. Wish I stayed longer.
