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.

Beautiful cottage. Everything you could wish for supplied. Loved watching the birds & squirrels outside my bedroom window! Lounge/diner can get very hot in warm weather due to all the glass. It is overlooked by the garden of the house next door which having dogs wasn't ideal, as they too had several dogs. VERY steep drive & had to lock the steeringRead more to swing into it. We managed with a Land Rover but anything bigger would really struggle. Beautiful scenery & quiet lanes. Hide

Nice location, Bit difficult to initially find. Lots of places to go, but some good driving skills required to get to some of them, However, the Weather was absolutely Perfect. The Cottage itself was perhaps NOT the right choice for us. Unfortunately, we could not get the Oven to work, which did hamper us somewhat. We did report it and an Engineer Read moredid come , but not until the Thursday. We agreed with owner to be at the property between 1 - 4pm and another morning for the Sweep to come. Day Lost Hide

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.
