  • "Thank you for our stay, Mrs."

    Flowers was very welcoming. The property was well equipped and comfortable for the two of us. We stayed whilst it was warm so had no need for heating etc. The wet room had a decent shower and would be very suitable for a less able bodied person. The one thing lacking was a clothes horse for drying clothes. We stayed for two weeks, so did a little washing. Everything was clean with the exception of the living room carpet which could have done with a steam clean. We were well aware that the property was on a working farm and had no issues with the closeness of the cattle barn. Although there was not much to do, walks etc the accommodation is so close to many places of interest ie, Cromford Mill, Chatsworth, Bakewell, Stanton Moor stone circles, Arbor Low, Crich Tram Museum all within 30 min drive.

    Thank you for your feed back, there is a washing line outside the cottage and pegs in the cottage and a small airer that hangs on the radiator but you must have missed it in the cupboard, I wish you had asked as I like to help where we can. So glad you enjoyed your stay and explored our lovely area. Property Owner

  • "Comfortable, clean and well equipped."

    Situated on working farm with large dairy herd with associated noises and smells- no problem for us but imagine it could be for some people. Also close to busy and fast A road but again no real problem for most people. Owners a tad remote but daughter in law went beyond call of duty in sorting out Internet after 10pm on day of arrival.

    Thank you for taking the time to review our cottages, sorry I didn't get to meet you personally due to being on my holidays, my daughter in law always steps in when I am away and helps as best she can. We hope that you will return sometime. Property Owner

  • "My husband has severe mobility problems."

    He uses a walking frame and struggles to balance and stand. Piggery Place was well kitted out for him and certainly suited his needs. We were very pleased to see the hand rails and the shower chair in the wet room. The arm chairs in the lounge, we’re not too low and had arms which helped him when he stood up. The furniture was sturdy so that he could lean on it when necessary, to pull himself upright. Our cottage was very well equipped, nice and warm and there was plenty of hot water. The cottage is very close to the High Peak Trail and Long Dale is a stunning, little-known valley, perfect for walking. There is cycle hire and mobility scooter hire at Parsley Hay. We enjoyed our visits to Hartington, Ashbourne and Youlgrave. It was fascinating being on a working dairy farm and the cottage is situated opposite the ‘nursery’. So I enjoyed seeing the calves and watching them being fed. Sue is extremely helpful and is happy to answer any questions about the locality or the farm.

  • "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.

    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.
