Description
Buxton 4 miles.
Quarry Cottage is a delightful, terraced cottage nestled into the quaint hamlet of Smalldale, near Buxton, ideal for a family or two couples looking to escape to the stunning countryside of Derbyshire.
Upon entry, discover an EV charging port, as well as a tap ideal for washing muddy dogs after hiking through the local scenery.
Settle down into an inviting sitting room, a charming space hosting a selection of stylish furniture and the added ambience of an electric fire with a woodburning stove effect.
This is the ideal spot to cosy up for a movie marathon with a hot beverage in hand.
The kitchen/diner encourages guests to cook up a storm, sporting contemporary furniture and ample amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as a table which can be folded out of the way to allow guests more space to cook together.
Outside, dine alfresco on the gravelled area, making the most of the evening sunshine and toasting to your getaway with a glass of fizz.
When the day draws to a close, freshen up in the stylish ground-floor bathroom, taking a relaxing soak in the tub, or a warm shower.
Snuggle up in one of the two well-presented bedrooms, able to be configured to fit your requirements, choosing between a king-size and a zip/link twin.
Smalldale is a rural location resting on the outskirts of Buxton.
Obtain any necessities from the shops in the spa town of Buxton, and browse the independent stores, before taking a break for coffee and cake at one of the numerous cafés, and there are also a great many restaurants and pubs available.
Visit the Buxton Museum & Art Gallery, the Edwardian Opera House, which presents theatrical and musical productions all year long, and for those looking for adventure, the limestone cave network of Poole's Cavern and the treetop zip wire course at Go Ape Buxton are just a few of the attractions that make Buxton a great day trip.
Stop by St Anne's Well to try Buxton's famed water, then wander around The Pavilion Gardens in the late afternoon to take in the town's beautiful Georgian architecture.
Take advantage of the Peak District National Park's close proximity by making the most of the walking and cycling trails that wind through breath-taking countryside and pass by sights like the limestone show caves at Blue John Cavern and the peak of Mam Tor, where climbers are rewarded with panoramic valley views.
The picturesque estates of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, as well as the beautiful towns of Castleton and Matlock Bath, are all within easy driving distance.
Bakewell is also nearby and is the ideal spot to visit a local café and try out its famous pudding.
Indulge in the wonders of Derbyshire with a stay at the fabulous Quarry Cottage.

What guests are saying
A lovely very well-equipped cottage in a good position to get around the local area.
Nice walk to the local dog field!
The accommodation is a quaint little cottage in a tiny village.
It is equipped with everything your house would normally be equipped with. There's a TV in the living room, washing machine, fully equipped kitchen and two good size bedrooms. It can easily fit 6 people if two are willing to sleep in the living room and you bring your own inflatable beds. The owners even though about EU guests, because there's an extension lead that takes EU plugs with its own proper UK plug to plug into a wall. There's cleaning equipment, a cordless vacuum, it's just a well equipped house. Location is excellent, being almost in the middle of Peak district and close to Buxton for all your cultural and shopping needs. Check in/out is super easy - just a key lock and you get a code over email. Inside the house there's a full folder explaining around the house and the area, some books and board games for days you're going to stay in. There are only two downsides. One is parking, which is on a small access road to the back of the property meaning you really get one space and a small one at that and the village itself, which is tiny and doesn't have anything in it, no pub, no shop. All in all, it's a 5 out of 5 for me, would definitely recommend. It's a perfect base to go sightsee and experience the Peak District.
A lovely little place.
Comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need to cook full meals. Off road parking at the rear was great. It is in a great location with easy access to Buxton, Castleton, etc. There was also a good welcome pack and some ‘emergency rations’ if you arrive too late to buy food in or if you get snowed in or there’s another event meaning you get stuck there, which is a great idea. I left feedback at the property as requested by the owner. The only niggles that affected us were that there is no enclosed garden which was disappointing as it meant that we couldn’t let our little dog out on his own. There was a response by the owner to a review in September 2024 saying that the front garden was going to be enclosed over the winter period, but unfortunately that hadn’t happened. The other problem was the metal bed in the main bedroom was very noisy when either of us made the smallest of movements, which meant we had very disturbed sleep. Ideally, the bed needs replacing. If both of these issues were resolved, we wouldn’t hesitate to return.
