Overview
Property code: OC-DCCUR

Immerse yourselves in the natural beauty of the Peak District when you stay at this delightful, dog-friendly retreat in the heart of the national park. Sleeping two guests, plus their paw-some companion, the one-bedroom cottage nestles in the hamlet of Windmill, 2 miles from Tideswell. Enjoy exploring the surrounding area, with its many beauty spots, before returning to the comfort of inviting, stone cottage to treat yourselves to some canine quality time together.

Make your way into the cottage and let your pal explore the generous, light-filled, beamed lounge/diner, while you stoke up the wood burner in the stone fireplace on chilly days. Find your favourite boxset on the Smart TV, while your chum settles down on the rug to steal a nap after his latest excursion. Unpack any delicious Derbyshire produce you have bought and start to prepare a tasty homecooked dinner. Don’t forget your hungry hound deserves a treat or two as well, before you sit down to dine at the table next door. When you are ready to turn in for the night, make your way up to the charming double bedroom, which has a TV, finding you also have an elegant bathroom up here too. Wake up to take your furry friend for a walk before breakfast and perhaps enjoy a cup of tea out in the fresh air of the patio. There is parking for one car at this cottage.

Pack your backpack, pick up the dog lead and venture straight off into your surroundings to explore the Derbyshire Hills. Further afield, Padley George, 7 miles away, features areas where pups can run free through the woodland and paddle in the streams. Here you can also stroll across beautiful Burbage Moor, with your chum back on his lead so as not to startle the livestock.

If you want a small cottage for 2 max nowhere in particular surrounded by the Derbyshire Dales, this is the cottage for you. We had horrid weather (it was December!) but still had to walk out with the dog. Cottage was comfortable but has electric storage heaters with a wood burner for chilly evenings. This might not suit everyone.

Had a lovely stay at the cottage. Everything we required was here. Such a beautiful area that we greatly enjoyed, visiting little villages and then towns of Bakewell and Buxton. We would like to return to Curlew Cottage and the Peak District. Thank you Abi & Russell.

Thank you both for the warm welcome and the use of your lovely cottage. A brilliant location- so much to discover- our favourites being Chatsworth, Eyam and Litton Mill. Lots of lovely pubs to enjoy too! See you again.

Weve really enjoyed our stay at Curlew Cottage! Lovely and spacious and in a super location for walking and meals out. Sunday lunch at the Queen Anne Inn was wonderful. The service and standard of food (as well as the fabulous views) from the Barrel Inn at Bretton were excellent. We will definitely look at returning in the not too distant future.

All very good a very enjoyable stay in a lovely cottage. Clean and comfortable and in a perfect location for exploring all the peaks have to offer. The only slight dip in scores was 4 for accuracy of description on your website as it stated there was a dishwasher in the property and there wasnt? It was no bother to us, but it should not be on thRead moree description if it is not there. Also the slight dip of score to a 4 for equipment, perhaps another baking tray or two would have been useful and another oven mitt as there was only one, but again nothing major and all good. Would love to return to Curlew. Thank you for a great stay. Hide
