Rock Cottage

A beautiful little cottage, really well cared for with everything needed for a stay in the area.

The hillside, outdoor bath is an absolute gem - beautiful place to relax after a long walk, especially on a calm summers evening with all the birds settling down to roost around you. The only caution is, if you have mobility problems, the circular staircase could be a bit challenging. The cottage is close to all the best walking routes in the White Peak area, many from the door so the car can have a rest too. And be sure to try Frank's breakfast spot in the nearby village on a Fri, Sat or Sunday.

Plusses: Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and sofa, ample parking, pub close by and friendly locals in a great spot for exploring the peaks.

I loved the wood burner and mainly booked this place for the outdoor bath. Good directions and communication including guides in the cottage. Minuses: The fridge is on the fritz, turned to max setting but milk and chicken went off so waste of food/money and nothing felt cold, this was disappointing given it was a heat wave. The property was just inundated with insects and spiders and webs including the bathroom, which felt unclean. The spiral staircase is an injury waiting to happen and added to the many stairs to get to the back not a place for people with mobility difficulties. The water tank is too small to fill either bath with a hot enough bath to suit me, the outdoor one is large so you sit in 4 inches hot water and get cold in 5-10minutes, disappointing and the main reason why Id not stay here again.

We’ve enjoyed a lovely break at Rock cottage the coolness has been a welcome break from this glorious weather we’ve been having.

The log stove warmed us up on our only cooler day, easy to use the instructions were spot on. The kitchen was well equipped for our easy to throw together meals and the freezer proved invaluable to keep our stash of ice lollies ! Only down side was there was no teapot

Beautiful little cottage with all the facilities needed.

The back garden is delightful with the outdoor bath.

Lovely cottage within walking distance of Milldale.

Spotlessly clean with good quality bedding, towels and kitchen utensils. It was a very cold week but the hosts were generous and made sure we had enough wood to keep the cottage warm and the log burner was very effective. . Bed was extremely comfortable and the booster boiler provided hot water for baths and kitchen use. Sadly, it was too cold a week to sit out on the upper tier of the garden but when it's milder and you're there then you're in for a treat as the view from the bistro table and chairs is lovely. There are lots of lovely objects outside the front door and upper garden to look at. A comfortable stay. Thank you.

Cottage was set in stunning scenery a short distance from Milldale.

The property was well equipped with everything necessary to make the stay enjoyable.

Lovely cozy cottage with all we needed.

Great area for walks from the doorstep or taking the car to some of the market towns. Woodburner kept us nice and warm, outdoor table and chairs were an added bonus for some alfresco dining and the outdoor bath was fantastic for a soak under the stars listening to the tawny owls. Although the designated parking space is opposite the cottage and a few metres up an adjacent road you can still see/ check on your vehicle with ease from the property, so not of concern to us for the duration of our stay. In fact we forgot about the car, left it where it was most days and thoroughly enjoyed the walking and landscape. Would happily return for another stay in the future.

The property was lovley and cosy and situated perfectly for our days out visting various places

We had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage.

The bijou accommodation had everything you could need. The log burner made it additionally cosy. Great location for lots of local walks so didn't need the car much. Can easily walk to Milldale, Dovedale, Wetton, over to Ilam, along river etc. Two very good pubs within walking distance. The owner responded very quickly to an issue and brought additional logs. Only thing I would say is the cottage might not suit a very tall person due to the sloping ceiling in the kitchen (unless you want to get out of the washing up!).

Amazing cottage very well equipped and so comfortable.

The food left in the fridge was a really nice touch and much appreciated. We had a lovely 4 nights in the cottage and the snow we had was amazing. Will definitely recommend this property to other people. The only thing is with the snow/ice the steps out front got very slippery and also the drain out the back from the kitchen sink was leaking the washing up water all over the floor by back door.

Really lovely hosts.

Very easy to get hold of and accomodating for our stay. Extremely cosy set up, located in a great area. Would highly reccomend!

What a wonderful stay we had at this amazing little cottage, I really think that they should consider changing the name to Cosy Cottage because our stay was while a named storm was hitting the area so our outdoor activities were limited.

Hence we made the most of that fabulous fireplace and snuggled in. When we did walk, we had the option of the River Dove and River Manifold and didn’t have the need to drive anywhere. Anther added bonus were three amazing pubs all within walking distance too.

We loved our stay here!

It is such a beautiful cottage so cosy and super clean. Definitely would return! The welcome pack was such a lovely touch and we were so grateful. The area was beautiful to walk around and to head back to a beautiful fire and such a comfortable bed was amazing. I thought I was living in the scene of the film The Holiday! (This is the wife) We cannot fault this property! Outstanding! Thank you

Rock Cottage is a delightful little cottage in a quiet village.

It is well equipped with excellent quality linens, towels and kitchen equipment. The owners left us a delicious welcome pack and more than enough fuel for our stay. We had a very relaxing and comfortable break and would definitely recommend Rock Cottage for a stay in The Peak District.

Amazing place.

Which helped us relax and enjoy our break.

Most enjoyable stay.

The cottage was immaculately clean, well equipped, comfortable and cosy, thanks to a very efficient log burner. The Welcome pack was the best ever, full of delicious local produce and our hosts attentive to our needs. There were varied stunning walks , attractive and interesting places to visit and pubs serving meals within easy reach. A holiday that was both active and relaxing.

My wife and I spent a very enjoyable week in this charming and characterful country cottage.

Well equipped including a lovely log burner which we made full use of. Set in a quiet, picturesque location with numerous lovely walks close by and a pub just a few yards down the road. Owners Dean and Debbie were most helpful and provided an excellent welcome pack on arrival. It's a traditional country property so be aware there are steps to negotiate,but would not hesitate to recommend this property in a lovely part of the Peak District.

The location was ideal, quiet, rural and within walking distance to some amazing beauty spots.

The standard of the cottage was excellent, with no expense spared on crockery, towels etc. The welcome pack was the best ever. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Lovely stay at Rock Cottage, really cosy, facilities very clean and modern.

Great to sit outside after a days walking straight from the door in the beautiful white peaks area and a pleasure to sit in front of the wood burning fire on an evening. The host was very welcoming and attentive if required. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
