A charming character cottage studded at the heart of the Peak District, this is an excellent choice for couples and families with older children seeking outdoor adventures. The village of Tideswell is a wonderful vantage point for exploring the limestone uplands on the cusp of Buxton (7.5 miles), offering dramatic views, attractive buildings and an impressive church that’s renowned for its brasses and wood carvings. Foodies will be well versed with this location thanks to the popular annual food festival, but there are plenty of cafes and pubs too. Tideswell Dale Nature Reserve is 4 miles out of town and has a sculpture trail and tranquil spots to pause for a picnic, and the surrounding countryside is a treat to explore if you are looking for a taste of rural Derbyshire.
Enter to discover a cosy interior that’s characterised by timber-beamed ceilings, pine-stripped floors and comfortable furniture, creating a delightful ambience for spending quality time together. Light the wood burner in the lounge and snuggle up to watch a DVD of an evening. There is a compact yet well-equipped kitchen for preparing light suppers and hearty breakfasts, best enjoyed in the bright dining room. Refresh yourself after a busy day with a long soak in the bathroom, opting for a soak or a shower. There are two bedrooms to choose from; take your pick of a pretty double bedroom or a cheerful bunk bedroom.
Outside, steep steps lead up to the secluded terraced gardens, encircled by traditional stone walls and with garden furniture for al fresco dining and drinks in the sunshine.
