About this property
Kestrel Cottage is a superb cottage, one of a group of three forming the old coach house and stables for Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion, situated at the end of a quiet country lane with super views across the valley and a cauldron of Peak District hills as a magnificent backdrop. Kestrel Cottage retains high glazed entrance doors, where the original coach house doors were situated, as well as beamed ceilings and stone flagged floors. The cottage has a lovely living room with wood burning stove, a quality kitchen, two beautiful bedrooms and a fantastic bathroom.
Get up early and spot the Kestrels and other birds that live in the House's extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast on the patio before exploring the numerous local footpaths. A walk down into the valley will get you to the bustling village with its local shops and great pubs. This is an absolutely brilliant holiday location within easy reach of Derbyshire's myriad of visitor attractions.
For exciting days out how about a trip to Castleton's spooky Blue John caverns, Peveril's 'storm the battlements' castle, Chapel's owl and otter sanctuary, Buxton's amazing Dome, the 'Dambuster'Dams, Kinder's wild moorlands, Haddon's romantic hall and even famous Chatsworth House.
