Overview

Perfect for a romantic escape, this charming bijou studio offers a peaceful haven for two people and a canine companion. Nestled amidst breathtaking Peak District scenery, the cottage is the ideal spot for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike, boasting plenty of rustic charm with thick stone walls and exposed wooden beams overhead.

Step inside this cosy home, and you''ll find an open-plan space designed for comfort and convenience. Unwind in one of the chairs and enjoy your favourite shows on the TV after a day of exploration. The kitchenette is compact but well equipped, featuring everything you need to whip up a delicious meal for two, which you can enjoy at the foldaway dining table. As night falls, retreat to the plush double bed for a restful night''s sleep. A stylishly tiled shower room completes the indoor space. Outside, the secluded garden offers a relaxing setting, with seating surrounded by gravel paths and lush shrubs. Take in the stunning views of the rolling green hills as you sip your morning coffee or enjoy a tipple under the stars at the end of the day. Private parking is available for two cars.

Explore the Peak District National Park on foot or by bike with an abundance of scenic footpaths right on your doorstep. Just 5 miles away, the historic spa town of Buxton awaits with its vibrant streets lined with shops, cafes, and a bustling market square perfect for a leisurely day out.

Compact as seen on the photos but very clean and everything thought of to help the holiday be enjoyable. Cleaning products, dish cloths, tea, coffee etc all provided. The weather was amazing while we were there, spent each breakfast and evening meal sitting at the garden table with the amazing views all around us. Explored the areas doing brilliantRead more walks. Only wish we were still there. Is is small, but we managed just fine. Hide

Apart from boy racers and bikers whizzing past at the weekend, and a weak wifi signal (which was non existent on my final day), this is a great location and a nice little studio type cottage with all requirements close to hand.

The potting shed was a lovely place to stay, amidst the Peak District hills and wildlife. Some good walks & pubs nearby. Underfloor heating was great!

A lovely, quirky cottage with fantastic views of the area. Had everything required for a comfortable holiday, the bed was super comfy (although a small portable heater would be nice to have). Great location to get out and about and a lovely pub with home made food only about 300 yards away. Would definitely recommend.

The Potting Shed had everything you could need but the furniture, towels and bedding were tired and in need of an upgrade. They were clean though which was good and the bed was comfy. Disappointed it is not mentioned about the main road as we would probably have not booked had we known. The road was generally quiet at night which was a blessing.

Highly recommend this little cottage, small but everything needed. Lovely location, great pub and fish and chips not far away where the best! Would definitely come back again but probably leave my daughter at home and bring the dog.

We thought the cottage was very well thought out. Lots of things in a small space. The road outside could do with being mentioned not only being steep in both directions but dangerous to walk with the traffic. Certainly not suitable for disabled.

Lovely setting and views. The potting shed was as described small but really cosy and so well equipped. The underfloor heating worked well to keep us warm and comfortable. The garden was beautiful and the owners very friendly.

A well presented and maintained cottage ideal for a couple on a short stay basis. Close to a steep hill so take care when pulling in or out. Helpful owners.

A very small but compact and well equipped cottage in the beautiful countryside with some amazing views. We received a welcome pack on arrival which was most thoughtful and welcome. I always take a supply of hand wash, cling film, fairy liquid, foil etc etc and toiletries but all of this was provided. There were a variety of pubs and eateries, tRead morehe closest of these being a five minute stroll down the hill, The Pack Horse. The food there was good and reasonably priced so too was the drinks. We also ate at the Cheshire Cheese in Longnor and here too both the food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. There's lots of wonderful places to visit in the area and we enjoyed the lovely Peak district scenery. The owners were available for any queries but left us in privacy. Hide
