The first floor has a king-size double bedroom and a double room, each with an en-suite shower room.

The very spacious, open plan kitchen/dining room is extremely well equipped with a split oven and induction hob.
The dining area is a great place for a dinner party or a hearty breakfast while your group plans the next day’s adventure, inspired by the uninterrupted views of Mam Tor and the hills of the stunning Hope Valley.

Stroll just ten minutes from the cottage and you are faced with many activities such as exploring a castle, taking a boat trip 450 metres underground, or just enjoying some of the many shops, cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.
Venture a little further to the hills and you find yourself in walking, cycling, birdwatching, paragliding, rock climbing and caving heaven.
