Good location for walking and great pub in the George but remember to book as was very busy. Local shops very good too and helpful in recommending things to do, we were very lucky to get there as it snowed just as we arrived but added to the fun especially for our dog. Cottage was a little cold and doors could probably need some draft proofing but fire was great. Also had to fix the washing machine as the the filter had been clogged but not the owners fault at least it works now. Good ...

Good selection of literature in the cottage for the local area walks out from Youlgreave and fantastic scenery in a quiet village.

“Very pleasant.”

On arrival a cake was baked and left on the kitchen table by louise the owner of the property who seemed very pleasant during brief conversations. When it was identified that I’d booked the cottage for my partners birthday, louise went out of her way to bake another cake especially for the birthday date which was a lovely lemon sponge, (thanks for that Louise as i never got the opportunity to thank you). The cottage was nice, it had good facilities in the kitchen, the only negative was the very creaky floorboards upstairs, if you’re a light sleeper someone getting up during the night would almost certainly wake you. Putting that aside, myself, partner and dogs had a very pleasant week. Thanks again Louise.

Louise the owner was very welcoming .gave us a warm welcome and a cake. The cottage is very close to the shop, post office, the george pub, bulls head and our favourite the farmyardpub. Lovely walks nr the stream. Not far to bakewell, matlock and has off street parking which is a bonus

The owner was a lovely lady who made us feel welcome but wasn’t intrusive- she had a cake baked for us to welcome us to the cottage which was very tasty and such a wonderful touch. We brought both a baby and a dog and found the cottage was fab for both. Definitely highly recommend Turret Cottage!

“Made very welcome by the owner, who ...”

Made very welcome by the owner, who was lovely - provided us with a fantastic (huge!) homemade apple cake that lasted us half the week! The cottage was cosy and perfect for two friends wanting a nice base for some walking. So nice in fact we've already booked the same week in 2018! The cottage is perfectly placed - just two doors down from a fantastic little tea shop/store stocking home made foods and fresh local produce (the bacon was to die for and we both took home several homemade meat pies from their freezer...) and across the road is another general store/post office, so no need to drive around looking for a supermarket - or even bother taking food up with you! With 3 pubs in walking distance you're spoiled for choice, but we kept going back to the George - friendly staff, amazing fish and chips and a great steak pie... large portions and real ale and real coke on tap - if you don't want to cook, you don't have to! There are walks virtually from the doorway in every direction, with no need to take the car out if you don't want to - Haddon Hall is only a short drive or walk away and well worth a visit. Even in October with strong winds we had a fantastic time. We can't wait to go back!

A lovely character cottage in the beautiful village of Youlegreave with it's own off road parking. Host welcoming and very helpful. Excellent base for touring Derbyshire. Locals friendly with good dog friendly pubs within walking distance. Would certainly go back next year!

“QUAINT AND QUIRKY BUT WELCOMING AND COMFORTABLE”

The homemade cake presented to us by the owner was particularly welcoming and set the tone for the friendly hospitality provided throughout our stay. The fixtures and fittings in Turret Cottage may not have been absolutely pristine but everything worked and overall the property was in a very clean and tidy condition. The cottage proved to be an excellent centre for exploring the highlights of Derbyshire which included walking through the dales around Youlgreave and visiting nearby Chatsworth. We enjoyed our visit!

About the location

YOULGRAVE

Bakewell 4 miles.

Surrounded by stunning countryside, the ancient village of Youlgreave winds its way along a narrow limestone shelf, situated between two of the area's loveliest valleys - Lathkill Dale to the north and Bradford Dale to the south. Once the centre of Derbyshire's lead-mining industry, this charming village now plays home to 3 pubs, all serving food, 2 shops, a post office and a delightful medieval church. The attractive market town of Bakewell is nearby and offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a frequent local market. With the whole of the Peak District National Park on the doorstep, many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall as well as Alton Towers, Britain's premier theme park, just a short drive away, this great area has plenty to offer!
