The Old Cart House

Very friendly welcome.

Only downside it was the middle of a heatwave and there was little shade outside.. A good base to travel from and see the local area, , easy walk to local pub,

Lovely cottage in a prime location for access to all of Edale.

The owner (Liz) and hear family made us all feel very welcome and supported. Our two grandsons enjoyed being at the location exploring the beautiful countryside and farm life. Being a working farm, the accommodation was cleaned to the highest standard possible. When we asked for a couple of extra pillows, there they were. Great value and positive place to stay.

A very nice cottage that met our needs (group of 5 over 60s on a long weekend hiking trip) very well.

For owner: One of the sockets in the kitchen did not seem to be working -we just plugged the kettle in elsewhere so was no issue but may be good to check the fuse.

Lovely comfortable homely property on a working farm.

Met all our needs for an Easter weekend for 4 individuals hiking. Well equipped kitchen, parking for 2 cars. Beautiful walk through the fields to Edale.

Lovely location - the perfect base for travelling around the area.

House was very comfortable & had everything we needed. We appreciated the milk & fruit. Our granddaughter loved seeing the cows & it was very kind of the owners to let her meet the horses & to put a head collar on one of them in case she wanted to sit on him. Only downsides were the patchy internet (not surprising as it was Plusnet) & the creaky floorboards upstairs which were an issue when using the bathroom in the night. Overall, we had a great time!

The hosts welcomed us and my family despite our extra needs.

The house is lovely and cosy even with freezing conditions outside. It’s really like your own family holiday home. The location is set in beautiful hilly countryside and near enough to plenty of tourist sites and walks. I’d definitely recommend this house and go back if I could. Thanks for everything!

A wonderful location and accommodation that we return to each year as it suits our needs perfectly and gives a welcomed rest stop from the battered weather in the Peaks in October.

We had the most lovely stay at the cottage over New Year.

The cottage itself is lovely and warm, cosy and clean. Had everything we needed. The owners live next door and have a working farm. They went above and beyond for our two little boys, let them help her with farm jobs, ride the horses, they told me it was the best few days of their lives! Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay, I’m sure we will be back!

No problems at all.

Host was amazing. Already told family and friends about this place.

Very comfortable, well equipped and clean cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic

Lovely cosy cottage with amazing views.

Well equipped kitchen. Very warm welcome from the owners.

perfect for what we needed with the added friendliness of the host and a tour of a working farm thrown in.

The kids loved it.

A lovely, well maintained converted barn.

The facilities were great and there was everything we needed. My daughter absolutely loved feeding the lambs. Liz and the family were welcoming and helpful. The welcome basket of fruit and wine were appreciated too. The location is gorgeous and it was a perfect place to stay whilst exploring the local area. Thank you again for a brilliant holiday.

Clean and well presented cottage in a scenic and quiet location in the Peaks.

The welcome basket was much appreciated and the Christmas decorations were a nice addition.

Lovely cottage.

Cosy and warm. Great situation close to Edale station. Lovely welcome fruit bowl and wine.

If there was anything amiss during our week's stay, it was quickly rectified by the owners.

They were most helpful and friendly. The situation of the Old Carthouse is ideal for walks up onto the ridge and for low level walks --to Edale especially.

The Old Cart House is very conveniently located in the Hope valley.

The place is nicely decorated, well equipped and created an excellent ambiance during our stay. We are thankful to the owner for basketful of fruits, some vegetables, and a bottle of wine. We enjoyed our stay. One thing we would like to point out is that although we were told that there would be a safe containing key and a pin number was provided to get access to it, on arrival we found no such thing. Not having the mobile signal in the area we found ourselves helpless in the rain for good 20 minutes. By chance we ended up at owner's place, couple of houses apart and got a spare key from them. The key was actually in a little housing by the door which looked like an electric socket point. For the next visitor this should be made clear. We have already pointed this out to the owner.

A great location, a wonderful cottage with all the facilities needed for a stop over in the Peaks, the owner was incredibly helpful, the personal touches on arriving were perfect and i would definitely return either with friends or for a family vacation.

Lovely, friendly owners.

Fantastic complimentary basket of fruit and wine. Beds are comfy. Kitchen had everything needed.

What a lovely stay we had!

A very comfortable cottage, weather was a bit cool for us, but the cottage was really cosy and the log burner was just great with plenty of timber. The basket of fruit and bottle of wine was a great touch too.The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely, accommodating and friendly hosts, our grandchildren bottle feeding the lambs was something we'll never forget, nothing was too much trouble, would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Good design and very comfortable.

It is set among several farm buildings so there is occasionally the opportunity to talk to the family and see the cows and horses. Also well placed in the Edale valley with some walks straight from the door and easy drives to Mam Tor ridge, Hope, Castleton and Hathersage.

Excellent house, seamless experience

A really enjoyable stay on a working farm.

Our fourth trip to the area for walking and our first stay in The Old Carthouse. Clean, warm, cosy, and superbly fitted-out. Vast amounts of towels, bedding and kitchen items. Wine, fruit and milk in the fridge is a nice touch. WiFi is booming but there is no phone signal in the area (if that is critical to anyone). Highly recommended!!

Lovely cosy cottage, an excellent base for exploring the area.

A beautifully presented property in a stunning setting.

Lovely hosts and a fantastic welcome package of fruit and veg. 100% one of the best mini breaks ever. See you soon.

We found this little cottage completely by chance as we were attending a wedding in the area.

The cottage is next to a road but we were not disturbed by traffic. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and the addition of a fruit basket and wine was a lovely touch. The owners live next door so any queries etc can be dealt with quickly. The views from the property are stunning and there is a nearby footpath into Edale village which is an easy walk. We ate at the Cheshire cheese pub which was very pleasant.

What a fantastic cottage.

Even better than the photos. Our family of 6 loved staying here. The farm was lovely, the owners lovely. A wonderful basket of fresh fruit and veges and wine on arrival, everything we needed to make it so comfortable. It was a perfect place to stay and be close to beautiful walks, other towns, the train station...

Warm welcome from the family!

Excellent rural location in Edale, comfortable, cosy accommodation and well equipped, with extra items such as fruit, milk, wine in addition to essentials- tea coffee, condiments etc. Perfect for a snatched 2 night family gathering where the energetic members hiked and the younger ones met the animals on the farm and relaxed. We will return!

Absolutely beautiful cottage.

Had everything we needed and more, very clean and homely. We will be back.

We had a wonderful and relaxing week in the Old Cart House with easy walks / Hikes in the area, nice little trips to other Peak District villages and enjoyed the atmosphere on the farm with the friendly people who run it.

Would love to come back one day.

Lovely cottage in a great setting.

Really clean, everything we needed, warm welcome, and just a great place to stay. Thank you.

Lovely stay at The Old Cart House despite the weather Storm Dudley and Eunice.

The nice touch of a fruit and vegetable basket on arrival and fresh daffodils. Would come again, thank you for our stay.

The property was perfectly clean and well equipped with everything we needed.

The welcome pack was really good as was the availability of unlimited free wood for the lovely wood burning stove. The Wi-Fi was good but we had no O2 phone signal at all (not just at the cottage but throughout the area - not your problem!). The TV with multi channel access was great and the (probably recent) carpet throughout was nice under foot (we took slippers for around the cottage as access to cottage is quite muddy - working farm - no problem). The settees in the lounge are "tired" and not particularly comfortable but this did not detract from us having a thoroughly pleasurable stay: many thanks!

Lovely property well equipped, comfortable beds, good supply of logs for the burner.

Would recommend it to everyone

We had a great Christmas at your property.

Thanks for having us. We would definitely return some time. Hope you have a great new year 2022.

Extremely well equipped, warm and comfortable property in a beautiful location.

Lots of great walking from the door.

Excellent place to go walking without getting in the car.

Chance to unwind & get away from it all! Everything u could possibly want & more available in the house.

The Old Cart House had everything we could want.

The caretakers left arrival presents of milk, wine, eggs and banana bread. There were games for our five-year old grandson to play with. The surroundings were beautiful and we went on numerous walks over the five days. Could not have asked for more!

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage in the beautiful Edale valley.

The owners are very hospitable and have lots of local information. Good walks up both sides of the valley are available directly from the cottage Edale itself has two good pubs and a well stocked village shop

The farmhouse was beautiful, perfectly situated to visit all the highly suggested places.

The house was clean and tidy on arrival and they had left us some milk eggs and wine which was a lovely thought. The carpets were lovely and soft and they left towels for us in each room. However there were some areas I feel could be improved. The beds were a little stiff so I ended up putting two folded blankets on top of my mattress but that was fine. And the advert states enclosed garden with patio, this isn’t enclosed. There’s a wall between the farm house ‘patio’ and the farm owners patio which only counts for one third of the area we have for the farm yard. The rest is open to the owners driveway and cars come and go throughout the day so I was unable to let my children out their unsupervised and had to keep them to one corner. Some of the windows downstairs, specifically the back door in the kitchen and the full length door just before the lounge had no coverings to the windows which at night time, with zero lights outside, made you feel very open and vulnerable, also one thing they could do to improve is add a DVD player and some generic dvds to the small amount of things already available. We had one particularly bad day of weather where we couldn’t go anywhere, so attempted to have a movie day, but no DVD players or dvds were there and the internet did not allow for Netflix to be used on the internet as it was too slow. These were minor things as we were out most of the days anyway. All in all. A lovely place to stay for a short trip.

A wonderful base for exploring the area.

The family made us so welcome we would definitely return. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The house was great.

We stayed for 2 nights. It's 30 mins walk to the Rambler pub and Edale Train station (next to each other) and from there trains are available to Hope etc to explore further. We had a great time and I would recommend it if you like a break away in the beautiful English countryside.

Fab place to stay.

The old cart house was spacious, clean, super comfortable beds with everything you needed. Well placed to enjoy the surrounding countryside and beautiful hikes. Edale visitor centre only a couple of km away, pitched between the Ramblers Inn, The Nags Head, & Honey Pot cafe for refreshments, accessible through rambling fields.

Lovely spacious cottage in a beautiful area!

The house was incredibly clean and cosy and the hosts were really friendly and helpful.

It would have been useful to have a bit more information on arrival, e.g. a simple sheet explaining things like the recycling facilities, how to change the thermostat (it was very hot!) etc. A lovely house in a beautiful part of the country with exceptional views!
