About this property
This beautiful townhouse is in the centre of Castleton in the Peak District National Park. The owners run the adjoining B&B and their expertise in providing a comfortable stay shows in the level of finish at this lovely cottage. Set over three floors, the top floor features a king-size and twin bedroom sharing access to a large Jack-and-Jill shower room. The first floor has a king-size double bedroom and a double room, each with an en-suite shower room. All four bedrooms have a TV, though you may prefer to view the stunning scenery from the windows instead. The very spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room is extremely well equipped with a split oven and induction hob.
The dining area is a great place for a dinner party or a hearty breakfast while your group plans the next day’s adventure, inspired by the uninterrupted views of Mam Tor and the hills of the stunning Hope Valley. The tastefully-appointed sitting room is comfortable, light and airy and the patio to the rear is a great place for alfresco dining with a breathtaking backdrop. Stroll just ten minutes from the cottage and you are faced with many activities such as exploring a castle, taking a boat trip 450 metres underground, or just enjoying some of the many shops, cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.
Venture a little further to the hills and you find yourself in walking, cycling, birdwatching, paragliding, rock climbing and caving heaven. A great place to stay to suit all tastes and seasons.
The outstandingly beautiful Peak District village of Castleton is situated at the top of the Hope Valley, on the doorstep of some great walking country. Steeped in fascinating history, the village boasts the Norman Peverill Castle Peak which is in a commanding position keeping an eye on the village and the National Park.

Elisabeth
The property was very clean, comfortable and spacious for two families with teens, with a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking family meals. The house was in an ideal location for mooching around the picturesque village of Castleton with its many friendly pubs and stunning walks in the Peaks with the dog. Alan, our host was also super friendly and helpful! We would 100% recommend - thank you for a wonderful weekend break!

As usual it did not disappoint. The House is always lovley and cosy, the beds comfortable, plenty of hot water even when multiple people shower at the same time and the location is brilliant. Alan the host is very friendly and we had freshly baked scones on arrival. We will be back for visit number 4!
