Set within the tiny hamlet of Millers Dale, in the heart of the Peak District on the River Wye, the scenery is magnificent, with the impressive Ravenstor Cliff only a short distance down the road, on the route to the infamous Litton Mill. This was once a major junction on the midland railway line and Millers Dale was one of the largest stations on the line, which now boasts spectacular views of the twin viaducts that once carried the powerful steam locomotives. This old line now forms a traffic free route for 8½ miles of walking and cycling, passing through some of the Peak Districts amazing limestone valleys. Tideswell, Buxton, Bakewell, Castleton and Chatsworth are all close by. There are some excellent walks with rugged peaks to the north, and gentle hills to the south. This fantastic property really does provide perfect accommodation for those looking to come and explore historic Peak District towns, and enjoy this part of the country at any time of the year. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Lovely stay at Station House, beautiful place and great location. Thank you for the prosecco and biscuits on arrival - very much appreciated :) Loved watching the birds and did top up the feeders (twice!) as requested! The Monsal trail is great and we had a fab albeit muddy & wet walk! So nice to see some sunshine too after so much rain down South. The cottage had everything we needed, tricky to master the SMEG oven but my husband loved using the Aga! Thanks again, we'd love to come back.

Just spent another week at the station house. It has everything you need, right on the Monsal Trail and many other walks so you don’t need to get in the car
