“Very clean, comfortable, warm, spacious and well supplied cottage.”

High peak and Tissington trails both within a mile which gave us easy walking options despite the weather storm Dennis gave us. Pub- restaurant just over the road (dog friendly in bar) and farm shop 5 minutes walk meant we didn’t need to use the car at all during our 4 night stay. We will happily return and explore the area more.

“Shires rest is a lovely cottage, clean well equipped and comfortable.”

The location is central very close to the high peak trail and tissington trail
Mrs Cooke July 2019

“Ideal accommodation for two people, comfortable and well equipped.”

The host was helpful and was kind enough to show us how the farm worked. The farmer Tom is a talented artist who was kind enough to invite us into his home to admire his work.
Mr Stevely June 2019

“Great location, perfect for touring all of the Peak District.”

Mrs Ellis June 2019

“He cottage was on a working farm, but that didn't affect the holiday, the highlight was to see newly born calves, beautiful.”

The owner was friendly and we both enjoyed our time in the cottage.T
Mrs Brautigan June 2019

“The cottage is very clean,comfortable and well equipped-perfect to return to after a day exploring the beautiful Peak District.”

It is in a very good location for visiting the many attractions of the area.Sue,the owner is very friendly and helpful. The only slight downside is the closeness of the road which was quite noisy at times, But on the other hand,having the road close was an advantage as it made it easy to get to places in any direction. All in all we had an enjoyable holiday at Shire’s Rest.
Mr Pascoe May 2019

“The family were helpful when we needed a vet for our dog and recommended a helpful vetinary practice in Bakewell.”

Our dog was soon well again.
Mrs Summerfield May 2019

“Extremely clean cottage with plenty of storage.”

Pleasant welcoming hosts. Cottage ideally geographically placed for numerous varied walks plus many other interesting places. Would definitely recommend and certainly would return again
Mrs England April 2019

“A superb cottage, very well equipped and very cosy.”

Superb “Carriages Inn” a short walk away serving superb food. Everywhere dog friendly. Cottage is close to many lovely walks. Our Westie loved every minute and so did we! A great Easter break. Have used Sykes before and never disappointed.
Mr Birkin March 2019

“Just come back from a really good 3 night break at Shire's Rest.”

Cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. Public house is a 5 minute walk up the road which serves good food and is dog friendly. Cottage is well located for access to all parts of the Peak District. Only a 5 minute walk to the High Peak Trail and not too far from the Tissington Trail.
Mrs Dutton March 2019

“Shires Rest was lovely, warm and welcoming.”

It was situated close to the high peak trail for daily dog walks, was warm and provided a cosy vase for exploring the peak district
Mrs Hull February 2019

“Cottage was very cosy and Warm, our weather was glorious for February.”

Family on farm very friendly. Just one little thing about the cottage, there is no towel rail in bathroom, so nowhere to put your towels after your shower, we found a clothes horse in cupboard. But would definitely return to this cottage. Area beautiful
Mr Masters January 2019

“Cottage is located perfectly for the exploration of the Peak District, Stunning walks, & every wear we went was Dog Friendly.”

Highly Recommend.

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.
