Swythamley, in the Peak District, is a farming community close to the River Dane, lying on the Staffordshire side of the river. Swythamley Hall stands in a fine park and was originally a medieval hunting lodge belonging to the Abbey of Dieulacres. Close to Swythamley is Gun Hill where Cromwell is believed to have located his canon aimed at the town of Leek. On the edge above Swythamley there is a famous landmark - the Hanging Stone, with a fine view over the surrounding countryside. Within easy reach are the Roaches for excellent walking and climbing, cycling trails and country houses. Alton Towers is 40 minutes away. The market towns of Leek and Ashbourne are a short drive away with their unusual antique shops, and the Spa town of Buxton is also an easy distance.

Previous visitors' comments about Gun End Cottage:
Wonderful place to chill; you could literally, just take your tooth brush :-)
But you may also need a change of clothes and some porridge!
Mr McEvoy, Chester, December 2011
The cottage was beautifully presented, well equipped and in peaceful surroundings.
Mr Hughes, Eastbourne, November 2011
The property, the location, the views and the peace.
Mr Phillips, Coulsdon, October 2011
The cottage was fantastic, as was the location. The local pubs were very welcoming and the food was excellent in quality and price.
