This small but perfectly formed countryside cottage is located just outside of the Peak District and sits in a peaceful spot nestled in lush greenery – ideal for those in need of a serene escape. Retro furniture and tasteful artwork combine with classic cottage vibes, giving the home a stylish feel. The cottage offers a balcony that provides a stunning view over acres of fields and woodland – an idyllic place to bird-watch while you enjoy your morning coffee. After an energising hike in the hills and valleys that surround you, return to your quiet cottage to cook up a full English breakfast, and feast together at your dining set while you admire the views. You can watch the sunset from your private patio when the evening rolls in, or cuddle up on the sofa with a hot chocolate. There are plenty of wonderful hikes to do on your doorstep, and you'll be in easy reach of the historic town of Bakewell, a sweet tooth's haven, where you can try a Bakewell tart in the very town that invented it.

About The Peak District
The Peak District is England and Wales’ oldest national park, and its varied landscapes are a clue as to why the region was the first to be bestowed with the distinction.
