Mr Graham
April 2021

“Shires Rest had everything you could want in a cottage, very well equiped.”

We felt really relaxed right from the first day. Having the Pennine Bridleway a short walk through the farmyard and across the field, was ideal for early morning and evening dog walk. If you enjoy walking, the cottage is ideally placed, with so many routes to choose from, either from the cottage or a very short car ride to their start point. I'm sure we will be back to do some more walks, and wouldn't hestitate to book Shires Rest again.

“The time to check- in was far too late at 5 p.”

M. and check out was far too early at 9 a.m. The settee was uncomfortable. Radiators on landing and bathroom didn't work. No telephone signal.

- Mrs Lea, October 2020
Ms Fasey August 2020

“There is easy safe access to the high Peak trail and Tissington trail from cottage which was an added bonus, as we want especially to ride our bikes on the trails.”

the owners were very friendly and helpful.

- Ms Fasey, August 2020
Mrs Harrison August 2020

“A lovely little bolthole for exploring Derbyshire.”

Everything you needed was available in the cottage and a great pub/restaurant within walking distance.

- Mrs Harrison, August 2020
Mrs Nicholls July 2020

“A comfortable, well equipped cottage on a working farm - just across from one of the large cowsheds and a field of friendly calves.”

We loved it, but obviously if you are not used to farmyard smells and noises, keep the windows on that side shut! It was in a perfect location for walking and for visiting places such as Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock, etc. The nearby Carriages Bar and Restaurant is good but choose your time carefully as you have to walk along a fairly busy road with no verges. No problem if you avoid the early evening rush. A thoroughly enjoyable week in the Peaks.

- Mrs Nicholls, July 2020
Ms Lees July 2020

“Cottage very secluded and right next to a busy road.”

- Ms Lees, July 2020
Ms Bailey February 2020

“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.

Mr Howard August 2019

“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

- Mr Howard, August 2019
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.

- Mrs Cooke, July 2019
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.

- Mrs Brautigan, June 2019
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 Ellis, June 2019

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.

- Mrs England, April 2019
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.

- Mr Birkin, March 2019
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 Dutton, March 2019
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

- Mrs Hull, February 2019
Mr Masters January 2019

Highly Recommend.

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.

This village is surrounded by wonderful scenery with a network of footpaths radiating from it.

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.
