Tucked away in the heart of the Staffordshire Peak District, this picturesque village is the ideal setting for a romantic countryside escape. Surrounded by natural beauty, this stone-built home comes complete with a private garden and plenty of characterful original features.

Arriving at this charming stone cottage, you’re greeted by a lovely mature garden setting the tone for a peaceful stay. Inside, the cosy lounge is full of character, with exposed beams and a wood burner that’s perfect for curling up beside after a day in the hills. Sink into the plush sofas and enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV, or dive into a good book in front of the fire. The kitchen is compact yet well-equipped, with everything you need to start your day with fresh coffee and a hearty breakfast. Upstairs, the elegant king-size bedroom is a tranquil haven with a snug armchair and plenty of space for settling in. After a long walk or a day of sightseeing, unwind with a long soak in the bathroom’s inviting tub. Step outside and make the most of the front garden, where you'll find a bistro table and chairs for al fresco dining with a view. Watch the sunset over the Derbyshire hills, sip a drink under the stars, and relax into the pace of village life. There's private parking for one car, with additional on-road parking available.

Gem cottage was clean, well equipped and is set in a lively village with lots if amenities and on a bus route. You have to be pretty nimble to cope with the steps, inside and out.

A beautiful, cosy, relaxing cottage in the perfect location for exploring some fantastic hikes as well as Buxton and Bakewell. The shower was a little temperamental to start with but once we got the hang of it it was appreciated! The patio furniture was lovely for tea and cake in the sunshine and the fish and chip shop down the road was spot on. GrRead moreeat amenities which provided comfort and gorgeous walks right from the doorstep which was great for the dog. Thank you! Hide

Had a lovely few days at gem cottage very authentic flag stone floor and stone steps need to be agile to get up stairs but the climb is worth it the bed is wonderfully comfy. The log burner was great as it was very cold out would recommend this cottage for nice quiet break!

The cottage has lots of character, colder downstairs in the colder months and some attention to the cleaning has been highlighted. We were offered a late checkout with no fee which was great from the hosts, dog biscuits provided although with 24hrs notice we were told no dogs on furniture or beds. The parking is round the back of the property! We oRead morenly figured this out on the last day and were parking on the road Hide
