Set in the Peak District National Park and showcasing a wonderful blend of old meets new, this inviting stone-built retreat for couples or a family successfully marries contemporary finishes with the cottage's original rustic charm, accompanied by far-reaching countryside views.

The well-equipped kitchen is ideal for family dining, complete with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. A breakfast table and seating area with a wall-mounted TV and a selection of books offer a cosy spot for relaxation. On one side of the kitchen, a twin bedroom with countryside views awaits, alongside a convenient utility room. On the opposite side, a master bedroom promises a peaceful night's sleep. Climb five stone steps to the spacious lounge/diner, bathed in natural light from numerous windows that frame views of the garden. Sink into the comfortable sofas while enjoying TV entertainment, kindle the warmth of the wood burner, or share memorable meal times around the dining table. The fully enclosed rear garden features comfortable outdoor seating, a dining table with chairs, and a charcoal BBQ. Framed by an ancient estate stone wall, the garden overlooks a beautiful wildflower meadow. The front garden maximizes the spectacular views toward Mam Tor, offering decking and outdoor furniture.

Providing convenient access to the popular Monsal Trail (2 miles), this cottage is a haven for both walkers and cyclists. The traffic-free trail winds through some of the most stunning dales of the Peak District for 8.5 miles from Chee Dale to Bakewell. The Pennine Bridleway and Limestone Way are also nearby, offering further exploration opportunities. The spa town of Buxton (3.5 miles) boasts shopping, dining, and the impressive Buxton Opera House. Buxton's Pavilion Gardens provides a wonderful day out with a boating lake, miniature railway, soft play area, and an indoor botanical garden with a retail space. Don’t miss the picturesque market town of Bakewell or the magnificent Chatsworth House, both within 12 miles of home.

Absolutely the most well equipped and comfortable place we have stayed at. More importantly we felt so welcome as the dogs were clearly catered for brilliantly. Lovely people (only met as I was walking the dogs, not in your face at all), great little garden too. It's over 3 miles to the nearest shop so be prepared, but that was what I wanted. PeaceRead moreful, bird feeders full of garden birds. Fantastic views too. Wonderful! I'll be telling all my dog loving friends about the Potting Shed Hide

A fairly remote, well equipped cottage with walks from the doorstep. Plenty of room for four with two outside seating areas as well. Great location for the Monsal trail, Buxton, Bakewell. Small secure garden at the back, wonderful views from the open front garden and kitchen table. Small quirky steps in the middle of the property may be a challengeRead more for some but we liked them and our dogs had no trouble with them. We will definitely go back if we can. Hide

We loved our week at The Potting Shed. It was the best equipped cottage we've stayed in with everything for us and our dog right down to throws, towels & bowls for him.

Lovely spacious accommodation and very well equipped. Location not suitable if you want to walk to shops or pub as 2 miles plus away and very hilly. Although has beautiful views a little out of the way for us personally. Also no privacy from neighbouring garden as glass windows down whole side of sitting/dining room and low fence in garden.

Excellent cottage in beautiful Peak District. But one very specific problem. The short staircase is surprisingly narrow and twisting - fine for most people and dogs, but our greyhound found it impossible and spent the week in the kitchen, unable to access the living room and garden.

We had a fantastic stay. Lovely location. Access and parking was a bit of an issue to the potting shed (but we do have a van, ). Lovely walks from the doorstep. For anyone who swims, there is a reservoir about 10 mins away, combs reservoir. Cottage has everything you need, garden a little smaller than expected but secure.
