Situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park, our holiday cottages offer one of the best rural locations in the Derbyshire Peak District.

Across the White Peak, there are several disused railway lines that have been converted to recreational use for walking and cycling. The Monsal trail can be easily accessed from the cottages where you can see the constructional feat that made this line famous.
Dovedale, Lathkill Dale and Berrisford dale are only a 15-minute drive away which are among those that have been entirely untouched by man and have some of the rarest and beautiful plants in the Peak Park.
