Description of Holiday Cottages in the Peak District - Cotterill : Four award winning pet-free non-smoking stone cottages on our non-working farm, in a glorious location over looking dales and rolling countryside in the heart of the White Peak area of the Peak District.
Three cottages are for four persons, one is for three and the other is an equally large cottage but only sleeping two. Although consistently graded 4 Star, all cottages are constantly up-graded and tweaked! Also services and facilities are constantly improved, such as the provision of sky tv, wireless broadband and any number of other examples. The three person cottage is on the ground floor making it particularly suited for the less agile and perhaps for those with crawling toddlers. The cottages have exposed beams and stone-work. They are 300 yards up our private drive and form part of a courtyard facing outwards over the surrounding fields and dales to give excellent views and some degree of privacy. In front of these cottages is a large grassed and garden area. There is ample area for off-road parking. The two person cottage has a galleried bedroom overlooking the large living room, in the centre of which is a log burner standing on a stone plinth acting as a focal point It also has a five piece suite in the classy bathroom. There are discounts for reduced occupancy
In each cottages there are seven(!) highly organised information folders, partly written by the owners themselves who are lovers of the Peak. Guests have heaped praise on this source of information which ensure that even those who have stayed with us numerous times still find plenty new to do. Events lists are supplied in advance between May and September. Housekeeping and attention to detail is regarded by the owners, as being of paramount importance
There are two wild flowers meadows on our land, one of which borders a nature reserve leading after just over a mile to the Rive Dove (at Wolfscote Dale). One mile downstream is Dovedale. The cottages are located off a quiet country lane between the highly popular village of Hartington and its smaller, quieter neighbour, Biggin. Both villages have pubs serving full meals cafes and a church. There is also an excellent restaurants about a mile away. Biggin has a lovely Hall where excellent cream teas are sold.
Numerous footpaths surround the land on which the cottages stand, offering unrivalled walking in the best part of the White Peak. The highly popular Tissington Trail, which runs for 17 miles, is used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and is less than 1 mile from us. Two further trails, (both of similar distance), are within 3 miles. These three tracks are ideal for family cycling, as is the network of quiet minor roads, which can be accessed at numerous points along the trails.
