Five non-smoking pet free stone cottages, given the Gold award by the English Tourism Council for' excptional quality and commitment to service', situated on a 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 - for three persons - is all on the ground floor and particulary suited for the less agile and the other is an equally large cottage but only sleeping two. Although consistently graded 4 Star, the owners constantly strive to improve standards in all cottages, with continouous improvements in each one. 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. This cottage and two others has full sky programmes, the others have freeview Sky. All but one of the cottages has two tvs in each cottage. Four have wi-fi facilities. In each cottages there are nine(!) 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 October. 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. Furthermore Biggin has a lovely Country House Hotel where excellent cream teas are sold and truly good quality four course meals at amazing prices. 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. The National Cycling Route 54 passes within 80 yards of the the end of the drive to the cottages. Buxton, Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Leek and Chatsworth House are all about 11 miles away on the edge of the Peak District at different points on the compass, confirming our claim to be very much in the heart of the White Peak area of the Peak District. (The White Peak is the area of rolling countryside, dales, streams and rivers limestone villages and dry-stone walls, which give the area so much character) Alton Towers is under 30 minutes drive away.
