  • Breathtaking views across the valley and Tittesworth Reservoir
  • Cosy up in front of the fire after a day exploring the Peak District
  • Sustainably run cottage using renewable energy and set in environmentally friendly garden and grounds
Property code: PK875

Sitting in a spectacular position offering breathtaking views across the south west of the Peak District National Park, this charming cottage coexists with the beautiful nature that surrounds it and has been honored with an eco award for its sustainability. Perfect for a relaxing getaway with your furry companion, the cottage sleeps two and welcomes two dogs. After a long day of walks and fetching sticks, relax and enjoy a well-deserved rest in this beautiful home.

With predominantly white walls and splashes of colour, the cottage has vintage furniture, home-made pottery and eclectic knick-knacks which further add to this unique and impeccably decorated space. The bedroom, with its far-reaching views, is a calm and tranquil space with a super king-size bed which can be split into two 3ft singles if required. Rustle up a tasty meal in the bespoke kitchen and enjoy it around the table in the open-plan living space. Curl up on the sofa with a content pooch at your feet and enjoy the warmth and crackle from the wood burner. Toast a glass to the view from the outdoor seating area and watch the sun go down on the weathered landscape of the Peaks.

Take a walk, amble, clamber, run or climb on The Roaches, a dramatic ridge line dominating the surrounding moorland (3.5 miles), or visit Rudyard Lake (6.5 miles) and watch the boats and steam train pass by. Sniff, scamper and chase around the beautiful Tittesworth Reservoir (3 miles) and discover Lud’s Church (9 miles), a deep chasm steeped in history. After all that fresh air and exploring, enjoy a drink or sample the local food at the dog-friendly pub in Thorncliffe (1 mile away).

Beautiful cottage with amazing views from all sides over Hen cloud and the peaks. Super comfy and large bed.

This cottage is all about location. Great for hiking, easy driving to good areas. The cottage was quaint, the owners friendly. For us, the cottage needs a bit of modernising.
