  • Set on the outskirts of the delightful village of Youlgreave, perfect for exploring the Peak District
Property code: OC-DCKNO

Gaze out across the leafy woodlands of Bradford Dale when you stay at this inviting holiday home at Youlgreave with your faithful friend. Sleeping five guests, the three-bedroom cottage is set in the heart of the picturesque Peak District National Park, offering walks galore to keep your chum’s tail wagging throughout your stay. Treat yourselves to beautiful riverside strolls, as well as excursions to nearby beauty spots. Return to toast chilly paws by the wood burner or to bask in the sunshine of the cottage garden with your furry friend.

Follow the narrow stone footpath from the road to this welcoming hillside abode. Enter to find yourselves in the comfortable, beamed lounge, where you can watch TV and give your happy hound some well-earned puppy love. Head through to the dining room to light the wood burner and set the table for the next holiday feast. Feed your hungry hound in the kitchen and start chopping and peeling for your dinner too. There is also a downstairs WC, plus a useful utility room where you can rinse through damp dog towels after wet walks. Venture up the steep, cottage-style stairs to the first floor to discover the family bathroom, plus a double bedroom, a twin and a single room. Soak up the summer rays on the patio as the BBQ heats up on fine evenings. Keep an eye on your pup out in the gardens to the front as they are very steep. Parking is on the street or in a pay car park, subject to availability.

Step straight of the cottage to find yourselves on a public footpath leading down to beautiful Bradford Dale. Discover plenty of great dog walks around Robin Hood’s Stride and the Nine Ladies stone circle, 2.5 miles from the cottage.

We had such a lovely stay at knoll cottage in Youlgreave. The village is beautiful and the situation of the cottage outstanding. Some reviews remarked negatively on the access to the cottage but for us (we have no mobility issues) this was perfect as it meant beautiful views and quiet seclusion with no road noise at all. We were here for a walking Read moreholiday and did not even get back in the car as there are fantastic all day walks with beautiful natural scenery and villages in every direction. The Youlgreave village shop was so well supplied we could shop for our meals there. We were very comfortable in the cottage, the garden is clearly loved and terrace has a lovely south facing view. As previously mentioned the cottage would not suit someone looking for a modern interior but we liked it very much Hide

Access to the cottage was down a very steep slope that my wife and I, both 78, found very difficult to walk down. We had to park on the side of the road to unload the car. Fortunately we had our daughter and grandchildren with us, otherwise we would never have managed to get our possessions into the cottage. After unloading, we had to park in a carRead more park about 200 yards away. Very inconvenient. Hide

I was disappointed to find a small concrete area for a garden. The dog felt trapped in this confined area and kept wanting to get out. Also we didnt expect a long steep path down to the cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Nice that it's positioned off the main road, but access is down a steep path so not suitable for everyone. Cottage was well equipped and clean, a very comfortable base for our week in the Peak District.

Had a lovely stay at Knoll cottage, very comfortable, with all amenities, great view out front and ideal for traveling around the Peaks. Within walking distance of local pubs and local store which stocked most essentials. Access to cottage from road is by an inclined path, but once you have transferred your belongings in it's not a problem.

An absolutely lovely area down a short (quite steep) path. Its like you are in the trees due to the position on the hill side and is fab to eat breakfast out in the patio. Good facilities close to pubs and village shop, Worth experiencing.
