About this property
A deceptively spacious cottage with a superbly furnished interior and a location right by the river in beautiful Bradford Dale.
Perched right on Limestone Way in charming Youlgreave is Kingfisher, a deceptively spacious traditional stone cottage. Sit in the delightfully decorated lounge overlooking Bradford Dale and watch the world go by. With comfortable sofas and an electric stove, you’ll be super snug and relaxed. The tastefully colourful kitchen/diner is the hub of the cottage, with a dining table to plan your days out while staying at this homely holiday accommodation.
Head outside and you’ll be able to go in a number of directions down footpaths to explore the village of Youlgreave and surrounding areas. The walks are of different terrains meaning there are walks for all age groups and abilities. Discover the traditional church in the village, grab a bite to eat at one of the local pubs or browse the lovely little shops. Other attractions are not very far away; about three miles away is Bakewell, the lovely town famous for its Pudding and Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail, perfect if you’re into cycling. Lathkill Dale is within walking distance from the cottage and is part of Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve with its incredible views.
Return back to Kingfisher and enjoy winding down in the gorgeous roll-top bath tub with a glass of something delicious, before climbing into a comfy bed to get a good night’s rest.

Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed. We were very lucky with the weather so the patio furniture was very welcome.

A lovely cottage, comfortable and well-equipped, in a perfect quiet location for many walks from the door. The countryside is varied, scenic, and full of wildlife, and you can also walk to Haddon Hall, which is a gem, or drive the short distance to Chatsworth. Also convenient for shops and pubs in the village, which has a surprising number of such facilities, whilst retaining its historic character. If you're into open-air swimming, there is a bathing area in the river, 1 minute's walk from the door.
