“The cottage is much larger than you'd expect, and beautifully laid out.”

The hot tub was greatly appreciated, and for walkers the Dovedale path starts just across the road (sadly closed part way due to NT tree felling but we did get part way on a lovely day!) I wouldn't normally pick a cottage in this price range - this was a late birthday treat! - but it is well worth the extra! Extra thanks to the housekeeper for laying out a few treats and a birthday card, and for helping with a bit of confusion with the hot tub!

“This is the second time we have visted this cottage.”

It is well-equipped, comfortable, and perfectly located for walking in the Peak District.

“Lovely clean cottage had everything we needed.”

Hot tub lovely after a days walking!!
Mrs Williams December 2018

“Lovely cottage with literally a stone's throw away access to beautiful walks into Dovedale.”

Brilliant pub a 5 min drive away. The cottage was well appointed and warm and cozy - the hot tub was a great bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas break there. Thank you!
Ms Carey November 2018

“Cottage was great - plenty of space, good quality, warm and very clean.”

We arrived to find milk and some delicious ginger biscuits in the kitchen. The hot tub was great and easy to use - we were impressed that it was set up ready for us to use on the day of arrival too! Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“Easy to contact housekeeper to arrange access.”

Cottage spotlessly clean. Lovely location. Well furnished and kitchen well equipped.
Mrs Temprell August 2018

“We stayed at The Rest for a week and had a very enjoyable holiday.”

As some of the other reviews say, it is a little difficult to find. The instructions list the Dog and Partidge pub as a place to look out for on the journey, this is now called The Old Dog. The caretaker was extremely helpful in the run up to our arrival. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for the week. The hot tub was a lovely addition. We will definitely return next time we holiday in this part of the country.

“We had a fabulous week thank you so much the Rest was wonderfully equipped and situated, immaculately clean and very welcoming we were extremely lucky with the weather too .”
Miss Wright May 2018

“The cottage was quite hard to find but it was in such a lovely setting.”

Had everything we needed and was like home from home. Very clean and well maintained. Within easy reach of everything. Sykes responded when needed and kept me up to date with instructions about the stay etc. Owner/housekeeper was very friendly and helpful.
Mrs Doyle January 2018

“Worthy of 5-star rating - highly recommend”

We stayed here with friends and their 7-month old baby during October half-term and could not fault this gem of a cottage. Everything was in excellent condition, clean and the kitchen was well-equipped. Sadly my husband hurt his back at the beginning of the week and therefore spent a lot of time on his back - but the large flat-screen TV with DVDs, choice of games and comfortable sofa eased his suffering! The owner personally welcomed us and really made us feel at home. Location was excellent - especially if you like walking.

About the location

THORPE

Ashbourne 4 miles.

Peak District Cottage Holidays

The pretty village of Thorpe lies where the River Manifold meets the River Dove and is dominated by the wonderful conical hill of Thorpe Cloud - a 1000ft limestone hill which guards the entrance to Dovedale. It was the arrival of LNER'S Ashbourne to Buxton line that really started the Thorpe tourist boom. Today, the railway is no more, but every year, thousands of visitors make the journey to Dovedale - one of England's most famous and photographed beauty spots. Thorpe itself has two country house hotels with bar and restaurant, and a pub, whilst further amenities are available in the many nearby villages - Ilam, Tissington, Longnor and Hartington. A fabulous area for outdoor pursuits, the famous Tissington Trail is located close by, little over a mile to the east of the village. The nearby market town of Ashbourne - once a fashionable social centre of the 18th Century - boasts an eccentric street plan, quaint cobbled alleyways littered with old market stalls and welcoming coaching inns. Many fine Georgian buildings remain, hosting a good selection of restaurants, wine bars and interesting antique shops. A great touring base, with Alton Towers just a short drive away!

Note: Arrival time is after 4.15pm.
Note: Property does not accept last minute bookings, less than 2 weeks arrival.
