High Peak District: soggiorni in cottage

Was very inspired sitting in the garden. Even woke in the morning and sat in the. Window ledge with the window slightly open and took in the view and the sound of the water. Sitting in the garden and listening to the birds. Exploring the grounds. Even taking a cold plunge / shower in the waterfall beneath the bridge. Felt very inspired. The cottage was warm. Cosy. The only down side… we had to leave the next day. Definitely returning and I’m going to book my parents a stay there too. They would love it.

Fantastic experience from start to end. Booking was super easy, we made some amends and Lia was responsive. Had questions pre-arrival, great communication. Pre-arrival instructions were thorough and really clear. So easy to just get in and get sorted. The place itself is fantastic, knew it looked fab but in real-life it was so worth it. Absolutely brilliantly laid out property, perfectly thought through. Good size rooms, and flexibility that we could bring an airbed to use the 4th room for an adult, opposed to a toddler. Good variety of kitchen equipment and utensils. As opposed to some places you stay where it's white walls, no personality. This place is oozing with personality. It's clearly semi-lived in, but still free from clutter and thought through things like a guest fridge and a resident fridge for instance. The garden is stunning and it's so quiet. Hot tub is also a wonderful edition. The chickens also just sum up what this place is. Thank you - will definitely be back!

If you're considering this, just book it! Great place, warm and clean with everything you could need. We felt very welcome, beautiful farm with animals and an orchard. Setting is great, 25 mins to Sheffield but 30 seconds to incredible countryside. If you want a relaxed place to explore the peaks, this ticks all the boxes. Already thinking about returning.

We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful Airbnb. The one-bedroom space was incredibly spacious and well laid out, with a super comfy bed that made it hard to leave in the morning! The private garden was huge and perfect for relaxing, especially with the hot tub—it felt like our own little retreat. The area is peaceful and quiet, which made the whole stay even more relaxing. Highly recommend for a cosy, private getaway!

We had a fab 2 night stay at Scarlett’s place! The cottage itself was lovely and cosy , had everything we needed and was clean! The bed was extremely comfortable! The hot tub was great it was really nice to enjoy our anniversary weekend away! We were able to order a take away through just eat on our first night and then ate food at the travellers rest on the Sunday and Arthur’s for breakfast today! Scarlett was a great host and even messaged early to say we could check in! Will definitely return 😊

We had such a cosy and relaxing stay at The Nook. The hot tub was a treat, but what truly made it special was the cinema room—we spent our evenings introducing our kids to our favourite films, and it was such a lovely way to bond as a family. The whole place was full of thoughtful, personal touches that made it feel extra welcoming, and the generous welcome hamper was unlike anything we've ever had before. A perfect little getaway spot—we’d absolutely love to return!

We had a lovely time at the cottage. Jennie was very welcoming and gave us good advice on places to visit and how to make our stay more homely. We had lots of space inside and outside the house. The hot tub was awesome especially after a long day of adventuring! We didnt really go out to eat but we did Have enough space for our BBQ. I would definitely come back. Tibshelf was great too lots of friendly neighbours and locals. Definitely would recommend!

I booked on Friday afternoon and arrived on Saturday, so was all very last minute, Liz kept in touch and met us there to show us around. Place is very dog friendly. Liz also checked in with us during our stay to see if all was ok. We went for lovely walks and spent time in the spa to relax in the evening, just what we all needed, will be recommending to my friends and family 10/10 many thanks 😊

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay and were blessed with the most beautiful weather. The location of the cottage was ideal and the lounge and garden enjoy spectacular views over the valley and hills. The accommodation makes maximum use of the space and is functional and extremely comfortable. There was plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and the convenience of shops, pubs and cafes only minutes walk away made the location ideal. Parking outside the cottage was a little tricky and we were happy to use the car park at the top of the village, only a few minutes walk away. The suggested rates are minimal and can be paid online or via an honesty box.

This was our third time staying at Kelly’s place and it was as wonderful as ever. It’s in a great location for both Alton Towers and the surrounding walks and restaurants. We took a short drive down to the Rambler’s Retreat for their cafe and beautiful walks! The cottage itself is always comfortable and clean, and definitely quaint and cute! Kelly is lovely and responsive, and super sweet and friendly. We’ll definitely be back again 😊

This is a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings. John was very accommodating regarding our late arrival and the cottage was easy to find and exactly as described. The cottage is very characterful and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. The garden is beautiful and very private. Thank you John, we’ve had a wonderful stay.

Sam and Annie's cottage was a lovely location to spend 8 days as a family of three (including with a 9 month old baby). It included a large and very comfortable bed, a cot in a separate room for our baby, and everything needed in the kitchen to be able to make a meal. They were very helpful at making sure we had everything we needed for the baby (e.g. high-chair, baby bath, etc) and were very responsive to any questions that came up during our stay. The cottage is in a lovely spot, with walks right on its doorstep, and Monsal Head a short 5 minute walk away. The local pub is also excellent (ensure to make a reservation). We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely place, ideally located. Beds very comfy. Log burner was great and kicked out a lot of heat. Great pub a stones throw and a chippy. Nice touches with the bath salts and lovely smelling soap. DON’T forget your towels!

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Allie’s cosy cottage in such a beautiful spot in the peaks! The property was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, and full of charm, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. The view from the kitchen was stunning... and a real bonus was getting to say hi to the lambs on the farm, which made the experience even more special. It is the perfect base for some beautiful hikes in the Peak District, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a countryside escape. Thank you, Allie! - Jeremy and Amelia

We had a lovely 4 nights stay at the cottage with our two dogs. The cottage was clean and we had everything we would need for our stay, including wood for the log burner. The enclosed garden was a nice place to sit and enjoy wonderful views and to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. Castleton is only a 15min walk along a footpath from the rear of the cottage and there are plenty of places to eat and drink in the village. We will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended 👌

Beautifully renovated with great detail to warmth and comfort. Fantastic location if you just want to plant yourself and not get in the car again. Endless walks out from the front door. Drop dead gorgeous location high on the hillside at the end of a track.

Simon communicated well with us and made sure we settled in. Nice location for our stay and perfect for the two of us and child who loved seeing the chickens on the farm.

lovely place with original features such as exposed beams, and very dog friendly - field opposite to have a run about

A few restful days spent here was a real treat - cosy and warm

Helen was on hand (or at the end of an email) with helpful advice and suggestions from the minute we booked until the time we checked out. Great location just 5 mins walk to the town centre and a great selection of pubs and restaurants, but away from the crowds so very peaceful. They obviously have an eye for interior design as every detail was perfect. The extra touches were amazing (sachets of lovely face cream, home made granola (honestly the best I’ve ever eaten), delicious macarons, fresh organic milk, a bottle of wine, fresh baked bread, Easter chocolates around the place …… the list goes on). I honestly can’t think of a single thing that would have improved our stay. Impeccable.

Clear and detailed instructions from Joanne as to how to get to the property, very friendly and responsive. Really clean, quality furnishings, spotlessly clean. Perfect location for Alton Towers, where we were going and way better value than others nearby. Thank you x

What a lovely place to stay at. We visited Alton towers so was handy being so close. The surroundings are lovely with restaurants and super markets in reach. Our host Gill was great, took us to the cottage and showed us around and made us feel welcome. We had a lovely stay thank you. We struggled with getting to the location, but once we did was worth it.

We loved the cottage, Deb and Tim have created a really special space, in a really beautiful area, could not fault it at all, they’re very helpful and welcoming we felt at home. Would 100% recommend and hope to visit again in the future! Thanks again

Cosy cottage, great location for getting around Cheshire. Many thanks to Martin for his excellent communication and hosting.
