Wild Flower Cottage is a compact and cosy, traditional, terraced miner’s cottage with wonderful features adding to its charm, such as exposed stone walls and a beamed ceiling. Perfect for both summer and winter months, the property benefits from a decked terrace area to the rear, where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine and watch the sunset. There is a wood burner in the living room for those cooler evenings. The cottage is located in the traditional and friendly village of Youlgreave, within the heart of the Peak District National Park, and with uninterrupted countryside views from the front of the cottage. The area is a popular base for walkers and cyclists and within the village there is a variety of traditional pubs and a couple of shops. Uniquely, Youlgreave is the only village in Britain to produce and manage its own water supply. Bradford Dale, the source of the water is just a 5-minute walk from the cottage and is home to a natural swimming pool for the brave.

You can join the Monsal Trail in Bakewell which provides a traffic-free route to Buxton. For those bigger thrill-seekers, Alton Towers (Britain’s premier theme park) is around a 45-minute drive. Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

We had a very happy few days at Wildflower Cottage. Youlgreave provides a fantastic base from which to explore the White Peak. We walked directly from the door on a couple of days and enjoyed meals in the 3 local pubs. A visit to Chatsworth House whilst it’s decorated for Christmas is quite special. The cottage itself is compact and cosy with all the standard equipment, albeit more functional than opulent. There is no WiFi, nor mobile signal which maybe problematic for some. That is reflected in the great value pricing.

We loved our stay in Wildflower Cottage! Carolyn was a lovely responsive host, checking in was easy (even after our late arrival) and we felt at home right away. Highly recommend a walk from the cottage to Robinswood stride and the stone circle, a fab area to explore.

A cosy cottage with the most stunning view in the lovely village of Youlgreave. Very compact, not good for the larger person and very snug with four adults. However, situated in a great village with pubs, bakery, butchers and a great sense of community. Fabulous walks straight from the cottage.
