This 2-bedroom stone cottage sleeps four guests in the heart of the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire. It sits in the village of Tideswell near Buxton with pubs, a restaurant, cafes and shops all within walking distance. The wood burner in the lounge makes evenings genuinely cosy after a day on the hills.

Tideswell is surrounded by walking routes in every direction, with peaks to the north, gentle dales to the south and Millers Dale just 4 miles away. The village hosts a popular Food Festival every May with local suppliers, stalls and cookery demonstrations. Mam Tor and Castleton are both within 11 miles.

The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms. The super-king-size room has fitted wardrobes with plenty of storage. The second is a double. There is one bathroom with a bath, enclosed shower and WC. An outhouse holds a washing machine, tumble dryer and bike storage.

Haddon Hall, the Monsal Trail, Mam Tor and Buxton are all within easy reach. Guests specifically recommend Haddon Hall on wet days. The Monsal Trail is a brilliant day out for walkers and cyclists.
