About this property
The pretty and distinctly Derbyshire village of Tideswell sits in the heart of the White Peak, an area known for its dramatic scenery; cut among limestone, it is in an area of outstanding beauty.

Fabulous house in lovely town. Ideal for exploring the Peak district, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth House. The house was comfortable and well equiped, spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends and family.

What a fabulous house! We loved every minute being in there, the owners have created a warm and cozy environment that we hardly wanted to leave. There is a wonderful mix of antiques with modern furniture, the decor is gorgeous, the beds are comfortable and the log fires just divine. We especially liked the underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, the huge range, the comfy chairs in the living area by the fire and the beautiful, original floor tiles in the hall. The whole place is just wonderful, high class quality and we will be back. Oh, and we did notice that the village, Tideswell, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful too!!
