Offering fresh, elegant accommodation for up to four guests, this traditional cottage is full of charm and makes a lovely holiday base for eager walkers, cyclists and nature lovers discovering the quaint villages, beautiful woodlands and mysterious stone circles of the southern reaches of the Peak District. The pretty village of Youlgreave is just over a mile away, with a choice of great pubs and friendly restaurants, or you can head to the cheery market town of Bakewell, 6 miles north, home of the famous Bakewell Pudding. Other local landmarks and attractions include Haddon Hall, Lathkill Dale, Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow, The Heights of Abraham, Robin Hood’s Stride, and Chatsworth House, all within 14 miles.

Originally two traditional cottages, the property has been combined into a single holiday home with a cosy lounge complete with a beamed ceiling, welcoming wood burner and comfortable seating. Further seating and a second wood burner can be found in the delightful dining room, and there’s an additional breakfast table in the stylish kitchen. Going upstairs you will find a lovely, refreshing bathroom with a feature stone wall, alongside two bright and spacious bedrooms, each with low windows and ceiling beams: there’s a choice between a cheerful double room and a light super-king-size room which can be made up as a twin room on request.

Heading outside, there’s a pretty front garden and a quiet back garden with outdoor furniture, providing a lovely spot for a glass or two of wine in the evening. Secure bike storage is also available.

The cottage was lovely, very much as described on the website (including the steep, narrow stairs!) Super clean, cosy and really well equipped. Not our first holiday with Original Cottages and probably not our last.
