“Lovely place, when we turned up the heating was not working but within 2hrs a new pump had been fitted.”

Lovely and warm all week. Sue went out of her way to get things sorted ASAP. A really lovely host.

Lovely and warm all week. Sue went out of her way to get things sorted ASAP. A really lovely host. Little noise from road, but not bad. We would love to go back, talking about it all ready.

“A comfortable well adapted cottage no access problems for a wheelchair.”

Everything you may need is provided and the cottage was very homely and warm. Fully recommend this cottage.
Mr Wallhead October 2019

“Very comfortable holiday home.”

Fully fitted with everything we needed. It was a good size and owners were very friendly. We would come again. Very happy with it.
Mr Lacey August 2019

“Very suitable for a person with limited mobility.”

Sue is very nice and knowable. The farm tour was a bonus.
Mrs Mcdonnell August 2019

“Excellent location, cottage lovely, farm amazing”
Rev Van Der Schilt July 2019

“We had a nice stay at the farm, where it is lovely to see the beautiful farm with his cows and a very warm kindly farmkeepster Sue and het family.”

In a beautiful surrounding of Peak District is this the place to be for a beautiful Holiday!
Ms Owen July 2019

“Cottage itself was comfy, WiFi worked etc.”

Bed was very comfy. Kitchen well equipped, although there was a washer but no dryer and nowhere to dry clothes either. Our main gripe with this cottage however was lack of peace and quiet. The mooing cows were no problem for us, but one side of the cottage is on a noisy main road and on the other side is right by farm buildings with noisy extractor fans running 24 hrs a day, which prevented us opening windows and using the outdoor seating space. An old fridge freezer had been dumped outside near the front door. There was no introductory folder, in particular info for operating/switching off the heating system. Hartington is lovely but some miles from the cottage, in our view it is inappropriate to assign its attributes for this cottage. However the cottage is very well situated indeed for access to the cycle trails and also general driving to Ashbourne, Bakewell and Buxton are all not that far away.
Mr Doyle June 2019

“It was a surprise to find that the cottage was located in a farmyard.”

The view from one of the windows is of a steel barn door. There is no mobile phone signal which could be important to a disbled person.

As I am a wheelchair user it was great to find a property that is accessible and has furniture that is the right type and height also grab rails in the bathroom
Mr Moule April 2019

“A very nice cottage indeed and very well placed for exploring the area.”

We were made welcome. There is one issue that may be to do with the way Sykes lists pet-free properties, or it may be to do with how the owner has portrayed it: it appears on your web-site as pet-free, but in fact, as this is a property suitable for the disabled, it actually allows assistance dogs. While this did not affect us, it could well be a major problem for any visitor with severe allergies who is expecting to be visiting a pet-free property when in fact it may not be.

Old House Farm Cottages

A delightful group of cottages located in the hamlet of Newhaven, by the village of Hartington, in the Dove Valley of the Peak District National Park, an excellent base to begin your adventures throughout the season. Offering somewhere comfortable to return to, each retreat has been thoughtfully put together, so you can enjoy dining in style, and cosying up in front of the TV after an adventure-filled day. Woodburner-effect fires provide warmth on those cooler nights, with charming furnishings to set the scene. The bedrooms are each attuned to the feel of the cottage, your little place to enjoy some peace and quiet upon returning home. The hamlet of Newhaven, which is right on the doorstep, offers the Carriages Bar and Restaurant, serving a selection of local Real Ales and locally sourced wines, as well as a relaxing atmosphere. Try something from their tasty menu or just stop by for a refreshing drink. Steeped in history, this little hamlet is home to many old inns and farmhouses from different periods, and there are some beautiful walks varying in strength to suit all capabilities. A lovely village at the northern end of Dovedale, the village is set in some of the very best walking country including the high peak trails, suitable for off road cycling and walkers. Hartington's past wealth and importance is reflected in the impressive stone cottages and houses around the village square and many ancient routes and trackways still meet in the village. One of the most notable buildings in the village is Hartington Hall, now the local YHA. Dating back to 1611, the manor house still retains much of its original charm and is one of the most popular youth hostels in the Peak District, with a restaurant open to the public serving locally sourced produce. This village is surrounded by wonderful scenery with a network of footpaths radiating from it. To the south is romantic Beresford Dale, leading to Wovescote Dale and the famous Dovedale or venture north, in the Upper Dove valley on quieter paths to Pilsbury Castle and Crowdecote. All you need for a memorable getaway.

About the location

HARTINGTON

Bakewell 10 miles; Buxton 10 miles.

Hartington, situated in the Dove Valley in the Peak District National Park, was an important market centre in the Middle Ages, having been granted a market charter in 1203. Today the ever-popular village boasts lovely tea rooms, a cheese shop, old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square where the stone-carved village pump, once an important source of water for the villagers, still stands on the green. The local bars stock local ales brewed at the Leatherbritches Brewery in Fenny Bentley and Whim Ales in Hartington itself. The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are both within a 20 minute drive, and Alton Towers is within easy reach.
