About this property
Hathersage 2 miles. This lovely farmhouse attached to a stone barn is set on the owner’s own sheep and cattle farm, just outside the village of Hathersage, in some of the most beautiful Peak District countryside. This cottage feels lovely and welcoming throughout, and provides spacious accommodation for families or groups of friends looking to discover this pretty part of Derbyshire. With countryside views from all aspects of this Hathersage cottage, this is a great place to get together and relax, with accommodation including spacious bedrooms, a lovely kitchen, a spacious sitting room and a separate dining room. Outside is a lovely large garden, with a pretty lawned area complete with furniture overlooking that wonderful Derbyshire countryside; it will be hard to tear yourself away from this peaceful Hope Valley setting to go and explore the wider area!
On the farm itself the owners run a clay pigeon shooting business, so why not try your hand at this for a holiday activity with a difference? The pretty village of Hathersage, with its open-air swimming pool, variety of shops and cafes and even the burial site of the mythical Little John, is just two miles away. Visit Castleton, with its castle and fascinating cave systems, Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, or Bamford and Hope all with walks aplenty. All these villages offer a network of footpaths with some lovely pubs and tea rooms to sample. Chatsworth House, Stanage Edge and the National Trust owned Longshaw Estate are all within driving distance, as well as the wonderful market towns of Bakewell and Buxton.
All in all, a wonderful cottage base for your break in Derbyshire at any time of the year!

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is clean, spacious and welcoming. The setting is private and quite while shops and pubs are within walking distance. The views from the garden, over the fields to Stanage Edge and Surprise View are spectacular. Claire and Andrew are warm and welcoming and we are looking forward to staying again.
