    "We enjoyed our stay at little Birchinlea."

    The accommodation was spotlessly clean, spacious and well designed. Shower gel, handwash, cleaning and washing up liquid provided, also tea,coffee, and milk to start you off. There is a nice private area to sit outside. The owners live on site, they were there to assist if needed, but not intrusive. Gary gave us advise on local walks and places to eat. You can easily walk or drive into Glossop (about 15 to 20 mins walk), for shops bars,cafes and eating places. It is very handy for visiting local villages, and lots of brilliant, scenic walks nearby. We caught the train from Glossop into Manchester one day(takes around 30mins). We would definitely recommend Little Birchinlea, and would stay again if in this area.

    Hi thanks for the great review. Lovely to meet you both, hope to see you again. Gary and Rita Property Owner

The town has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a golf course with a pay-per-play scheme. Nearby, Manor Park was once the grounds of Glossop Hall, which belonged to the Dukes of Norfolk.

The town of Glossop is also ideally situated for exploring the nearby Peak District National Park, with many attractions for walkers, cyclists and tourists. These include the peaceful village of Hayfield, less than five miles away and popular with walkers due its close proximity to Kinder Scout.

As well as its magnificent scenery, the Peak District has many other attractive places to visit, including Chatsworth House, the spa town of Buxton and its majestic gardens and architecture.
