About this property
Keepers Cottage is a detached, situated on a working farm. Located one mile from Chapel-en-le-Frith, this cottage offers lovely views over natural landscape and boasts a delightful out-building. Very much a country cottage, there are plenty of walking opportunities right on your doorstep, making this retreat perfect for a group of travellers or a family looking to get away from it all. You will feel the sense of charm upon arrival, and this continues as you wander inside to the open-plan lounge. Certainly a home-away-from-home; hours can be spent socialising with your loved ones as you prepare those appetising meals at the kitchen/diner.
The traditional seating area is your night time escape for a cosy hour or two in front of the woodburner watching your favourite shows. For a change of scenery or a social gathering, the second sitting room is equally as comfortable, tied together with a gas fire and lovely décor. The next floor houses two double bedrooms and a twin, all complete to a standard of quality, with countryside views that you can wake up to every day that goes by. The same level of character and charm follows you from the ground floor up, and a family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside there is plenty of space to unwind, with a courtyard, patio and a wonderful lawn area to admire the countryside sunsets and beyond. Chapel-en-le-Frith is known as the Capital of the Peaks, with its cobbled market place and historic old stocks. A short drive away are an abundance of attractions including the Blue John Cavern and the castle at Castleton, Visit the nearby stately homes such as Chatsworth House and Lyme Hall. A memorable base to return to whatever the season.

The cottage is lovely - one of the best weâve stayed in - with everything we needed. The slow-cooker was used on two days and coming back home to the smell of home-made stew was lovely. The views from the cottage are apparently beautiful. We had a little glimpse but the whole week was very misty/foggy which was a shame. We had days out in Bakewell and Castleton which were lovely. The rest of the time we basically just chilled in this beautiful cottage. It is so comfortable and lovely and cozy sitting in front of the log burner. Thank you very much. We would definately recommend Keepers Cottage and would love to return someday.

There were four of us, 2 mature couples. The owner was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, even though she is very busy with the farm. The house was plenty big enough, with two lovely sitting out areas, when the weather was kind enough. The extra living room is useful if you want television in the evenings, but we tended to stay in the kitchen area, playing card games. There was adequate equipment for the preparation of meals, although we did encounter a slight problem on occasions, getting the oven door to close. The slow cooker was a really useful addition. It was really helpful having the two bathroom options and one is downstairs. We didn't need the heating but couldn't find a way to get the towel rails to heat without it (probably us!). Great fun watching the day to day activities of the farm, especially all the sheep passing right in front of the cottage. It was easy to get out and about and we did walks from Whaley Bridge, Castleton, visited Lyme Park and did a Treasure trail at Hayfield amongst other trips. We would highly recommend the Cock Inn at Whaley Bridge, especially for Sunday lunch.
