  • "Buttercup Cottage has to be one of the most beautiful, comfortable places we have stayed in."

    The cottage is a well equipped place and has everything you want for your stay. Even a Christmas tree

    Thank you so much for your kind review Karen, we're so glad you enjoyed the cottage and the festive touches. We'd love to have you stay again anytime, wishing you a fabulous Christmas, Edward & Mark. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic cottage nicely tucked away, which certainly lived up to previous online reviews."

    We were able to park up for the week and enjoy the many walks from our doorstep along with the many pubs in the village. The cottage and Castleton is extremely dog friendly. The information guide at the cottage provided some some great recommendations. Thanks for a very enjoyable and relaxing week.

    Dear Steven, thank so you much for leaving a review, Buttercup is more than a house to us and to see people like it as much as we do is a great feeling thank you! Having Buddy the red lab you see in some photos makes us think how we settle in other furry friends :-) We are adding to the guest book too as we find something new every time we visit the amazing Peaks. Hope to welcome you back to Buttercup soon! Best, Mark and Edward Property Owner

  • "We had a great holiday at Buttercup Cottage, and only wished it had been for longer!"

    The cottage is so lovely and had absolutely amazing views from the garden. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. We would love to come back again.

    Dear Katherine, it's great to see you had a fantastic time at Buttercup! The views are made all the more special by the sheep, goats and Shetland ponies in the paddock. Hope you found the binoculars in the kitchen as we enjoy being able to make out people on the top of the ridge. We'd love to have you back for longer any time :-) Edward & Mark Property Owner

  • "Buttercup Cottage was very cosy, homely and comfortable with a generous welcome pack on arrival."

    It was very well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was good. It was in an excellent location, out of the way, but close to all the amenities which Castleton offers. Walking from the cottage and in the area were excellent. A small problem was very quickly rectified by the owner who was very helpful throughout. We will definitely return!

    Dear Sally, thank you so much for your kind review and so glad you enjoyed Buttercup and the immediate location. We do like to have all the comforts to try and make it home from home :-) We'd love to host you again anytime! Best, Edward & Mark Property Owner

  • "A perfect cottage."

    Everything was as described. The owners have really added their own home touches. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable from day one. Great Location, very peaceful and perfect to start one of the many walks available. Our only regret is we don’t have a dog. The cottage is certainly dog friendly. We will need to borrow one next time.

    Thank you so much for your kind review! So pleased you had a great time at Buttercup and found it homely and settled in quickly. You are more then welcome back anytime and I can speak to Buddy about joining you, I'm sure he'll be open to being loaned out he loves Buttercup too :-) Property Owner

  • "This was our second stay at Buttercup Cottage and we had another perfect week."

    Everything we needed, comfortable, beautiful views from the back garden, peaceful spot and loads to do from the doorstep. Our dog settled instantly, which is always a great sign. Thoughtful treats and wine for our arrival, which was a lovely touch. We definitely hope to stay again, thank you.

    We are so pleased you had an amazing time at Buttercup again Sarah and taking the time to write your review, it makes us happy reading these. We visited the cottage after your stay to change some artwork and noticed you also made a lovely guest book note too. We also flicked through and saw your previous note :-) You left the place spotless too, thank you. We'd love to have you and your furry friends stay again anytime. Ed and Mark Property Owner

  • "We had a great week here mid January."

    Extremely clean & tidy upon arrival. Great location & just a 5 mins walk to pub & shops etc. Despite the very cold weather the cottage was very cosy & warm and the log burners were a nice feature to have(take ur own logs though). Would book again if it’s still being rented out as it’s currently up for sale sadly.

  • "Very nice chocolate box cottage very comfortable, beds and sofas, all you need for self catering."

    and fantastic views, central for pubs places to eat and walks, it was not very clean the fridge and freezer and microwave were not cleaned the window sill in the bathroom was covered in dust and flies I did try to hoover before we left but the hoover had no suction due to hoover bag being full and there was no replacement bags. Overal we did enjoy our stay.

    Parking is limited. We thought the provision of two logs for the fire and the milk in the Welcome Pack being a week out of date was a bit stingy! However, we would stay there again.

  • "We enjoyed our stay but the lack of garden furniture - specifically cushions or comfortable chairs - may have been annoying had the weather been kinder."

    Might also have been nice to have had a radio somewhere in the property rather than having to use the TV's. But excellent location and never had a problem parking directly outside. Nice cafe very close by too.

  • "A beautiful cottage in a perfect location!"

    A short walk to the centre of Castleton (5 mins) but with countryside views to the back made this a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was nice and clean, a decent shower and kitchen facilities too. Parking out the front was available for one car. There were lots of nice touches from the owners of the property such as a book shelf for swapping or sharing books, games and DVD's available and a little folder of information about the cottage itself and it's history, but also the local area and amenities. Would very much recommend staying here!

    Only slight issues - there were no dishwasher tablets, only a quarter roll of toilet roll left with no spares anywhere & the UHT milk left as part of the welcome pack went out of date in September 2022. We had to go to the shop as soon as we got there. Apart from that it was excellent & I would recommend anyone to stay there

  • "We had another wonderful Christmas at Buttercups Cottage."

    We looked at booking again next year but we're sad to see it's already fully booked (no surprise as it's such a beautiful place to stay for Christmas). The cottage is in the perfect location and offers all the home comforts you could want, with the added bonus of the original features of a truly traditional homely abode. We adore both Castleton and Buttercups and will hopefully be fortunate enough to stay again in the future. Thank you for welcoming us back once again to your stunning accommodation

  • "Although the cottage was very nice we think it would have benefitted from a general tidy up of the outside areas."

    The garden looked very inviting from the listing and we were hoping to use it even though the weather wasn't ideal. However it looked a bit sad and neglected and the front of the house was unswept which meant dragging in dead leaves etc every time we entered. We loved Castleton and would definitely recommend it for a holiday.

  • "What a beautiful cottage!"

    We didn't need to use the log burners as it was already such a cosy cottage. Really well equipped and it felt like there were three sites in one with three TVs with DVD player and a lovely CD player that could blow the roof off! Castleton itself is a lovely village with loads of walks nearby and great pub's. There are a couple of shops nearby which sell the basics and lots of beer!

    In general it was very clean. However, we did find a dirty sock under the coffee table and the coasters and coffee table were a bit sticky - no problem for us to clean them.

Nestling under the castle and surrounded by stunning countryside, this charming cottage provides outstanding accommodation for up to six guests wishing to spend some time in and around Castleton.

Built around 1632, originally 2 cottages, then converted to a larger single dwelling in 1850, it has been recently renovated to retain all its original features including oak-beamed ceilings, open stonework and log fires.

Across the landing is a contemporary family bathroom with a large walk-in rain shower. The outside has a wonderful enclosed garden with upper and lower patios both equipped with garden furniture, ideal for guests to indulge in some alfresco dining together during the summer, there is an outside tap for those muddy paws, muddy boots and bikes.

At the front of the property is a designated parking space opposite the pretty Goosehill Green, perfect for a picnic or for the children to let off some extra holiday energy.
