About this property

Hope Cottage is a truly delightful holiday home settled in the heart of the village of Youlgreave, amongst the rural greenery of the Peak District National Park. This white-washed cottage is idyllically positioned for groups of both families and friends wishing to enjoy some overdue quality time together in this picturesque part of the country. Park up in the off-road parking area before unloading your belongings and accessing your new home-from-home through the rear of the cottage, where you will be welcomed by the charming dining room, sure to host many delicious meals during your stay. Feel the underfloor heating on your toes as you follow the stone flooring through to the snug sitting room, where exposed wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace highlight the property's original character; put your feet up and enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television as the wood burning stove crackles nearby. When stomachs start to rumble, discover the well-equipped kitchen, uniquely designed with a fascinating "fossil spotting" wall and housing all of the essential amenities, including a handy washing machine to help keep your holiday attire fresh and clean! A wet room and a sumptuous double bedroom complete the ground floor whilst upstairs you will find the master bedroom, fitted with a king-size bed, along with a twin room and a stylish family bathroom. Resting outside is a delightful patio which provides a peaceful spot to enjoy a cup of tea before deciding where to go for the day! In Youlgreave there is a small shop and Post Office, together with a selection of good pubs serving food, while a larger range of amenities are available in the nearby market town of Bakewell. From this splendid cottage there is a wealth of walking trails or hire a bike to explore the rolling landscape of the Peak District National Park, along with the Monsal and High Peak Trails, both of which are traffic-free routes. The magnificent stately home of Chatsworth House, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and the Tudor Country House of Haddon Hall are both set within driving distance, whilst those looking for a more exhilarating experience may prefer a fun-filled day out visiting Alton Towers Theme Park!

Hope Cottage is an idyllic base to enjoy a relaxing holiday with loved ones.

Youlgreave is nestled between two of the area's most beautiful valleys, Lathkill Dale and Bradford Dale to the south. This beautiful community has three pubs serving Home Cooked meals, two stores (one with a Post Office) and an ancient church. Bakewell, a charming market town, lies nearby and hosts a weekly market. The Peak District National Park is nearby, as are several magnificent homes, such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, Kedleston Hall, and Clake Abbey.

    All requirements met. Lovely base for exploring the local area. Good walks from the doorstep. Good food in local pubs.

    There were many little extras which made the property welcoming - including hot water bottles on the bed, bubble bath and especially the items for the dog. The perfect option if, like us, you have someone that needs everything on ground level. Immaculately clean and comfortable. We visited a lovely pub in the village and could get everything we needed in one of the two village shops or the bakery. A great find!

    We had everything we could possibly need, with lots of thoughtful touches including hot water bottles (we were lovely and warm so didn’t use them) and all the dog equipment you could think of. Parking was a little bit tight but fine for a smaller car. I would say the twin bedroom is best suited to young children (it’s quite small). We had a lovely weekend and the village is fantastic.
