  • "We really benefitted from our stay in New Cottage - a lovely little place with beautiful views in such a quiet location."

    Through the trees we could see the river below glinting in the sunshine, and it was a very short walk down to the riverside and up again to the village and its good facilities. It actually took me a few days to get used to the quietness and then I really knew I was away from it all! The cottage has lots of character and a very friendly atmosphere, inside and out. We were very pleased with the unexpected Welcome Basket of goodies. There was plenty to do without going more than five miles in the car and very locally we recommend visiting the village church, the very friendly Farmyard Arms and Peak Feast for an excellent lunch. We enjoyed meeting Mike, the owner, on our last day. We are planning to return later in the season. Thanks for a great stay!

  • "Beautiful location."

    Very comfortable bed. Lovely and warm. Would like to suggest small details. Broken clip on shower stand. Another bath towel as only one. Better saucepans. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay - these are only minor details and easy to sort.

  • "The cottage was warm and most basics were provided and overall was comfortable and good value."

    .It could be improved by more attention to detail - eg a tidy up and nice plants outside,a few more nice rugs inside rather than bare floorboards ,and making sure things are clean and working ( table top in lounge was dirty,no bulb in main bedroom .)Also a torch is absolutely essential for the pathway to the house ( one was provided,the second had weak batteries) Personal items had been left in cottage.

  • "The new cottage stay was a refreshing and peaceful experience."

    After reading previous reviews. I put my good old walking boots on before arriving to the cottage going the steep path to the cottage, which the path was clear and easy to walk down. Even my 71 year old mum made it down and up the path fine ( no mobility issues). The views were really special and breathtaking. I needed a much relaxed rest after the 2023 year and this cottage and area fulfilled my expectations. The cottage has everything a person would need From excellent high quality bedding ( habitat) a make i love anyway and also high quality eco friendly toiletries. ( beautiful smells). The tv was a bonus . I loved waking up on the comfry bed every morning and watching the sunset rise and set and the wildlife with so many birds around. Down at the bottom is the river. Where you can here it in the background as so quiet. The property may not be for everyones taste but for me , my mum and my dog it was a perfect little gem of a find.I bet it us beautiful in the spring/ summer .0ver 3 weeks stay and thank you for mel , mike and yourselves for a well needed rested break. Spending christmas and new year in new cottage has created a long lasting beautiful memory. My dog settled so well too and thankyou for going that extra mile mel and mike for the bottle of wine , fresh milk and butter. New cottage has set my new year 2024 of on a high and i am well rested. Hope this feedback helps and i look forward to going back in the summer or when my work schedule is not to busy Kind regards natalie , my mum and my dog

  • "The cottage is a beautiful tranquil place, a throwback to the sixties, and the village likewise."

    It must be recognised the location and age of the property when booking, but that is the appeal. Facilities in Youlgreave are fantastic with 3 pubs serving great food and brilliant walks especially if you have dogs. Parking is not a problem with plenty of roadside parking but the steep path to the property may not suit everyone, this also can create issues with loading etc particularly in bad weather. My thoughts are this is a new venture for the owners who are obviously in the process of improving the property. Overall this property deserves 5 stars for its peace and tranquility.

  • "The instructions given on finding the property were so vague and most importantly the street name was missing , resulting in it being impossible to locate the property which is approx."

    40 metres from the main road where you have to leave the car . The descent is so steep , slippery and over grown. It makes anybody with mobility problems a very miserable experience , had this been known before booking we would never have entertained it .

  • "Lovely property, liked the position and quirkiness."

    It was as advertised. Thoughtful touches throughout and well equipped. We enjoyed the garden and the views. Some of the garden furniture was a bit rickety but the owners are now aware. Youlgreave is a fantastic village with everything you need. Would love to return.

The property

New Cottage is a stone-built, detached cottage nestled in an idyllic riverside setting in the village of Youlgreave, in the centre of the Peak District National Park.

Delightfully presented with character touches throughout, this two-storey abode welcomes a small family or couple seeking a quiet retreat to the Peak District.

Parking can be found on the roadside and then a public footpath leads down to the entrance of the cottage.

Find the kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of appliances so you can rustle up a delicious dinner, plus a centre dining table where all can gather to refuel themselves after a day of adventure.

Spend your down time in the living room, relax on the sofa as the electric flame-effect fire gently heats the space.

Catch up on your rest in the bedrooms, with a king-size and a single to choose from, whilst the bathroom is where you can freshen up with a lazy soak or quick shower.

Take advantage of the patio garden, making yourself comfortable at the bistro table and chairs whilst you listen to the river run by.

Embark on a stroll into the village centre and pick up a treat from the Peak Feast Bakery or choose from three pubs, The Bulls Head and the Farmyard Inn, to quench your thirst.

As New Cottage lies within the Peak District National Park, you won’t be short of walking and cycling routes on your doorstep, leading you through the countryside to see wildlife and scenery like no other.

Five miles away lies Bakewell, a friendly market town with a weekly Monday market, an Old House Museum, a famed Pudding shop and the start of the Monsal Trail, a traffic-free route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Expect all this and much more at New Cottage.
