Description
Nestled in the heart of the Peak District National Park in the small village of Tideswell, sits this impressive cottage, Billy Whiskey's. Enjoying a blend of rustic and contemporary features, this historic property is a former shop dating back to 1729, and takes its name from the first shop keeper, Billy Whiskey.
The property has been thoughtfully renovated and now offers families and friends a pet-friendly dwelling and wonderful base to explore the countryside.
Leave your vehicle in a roadside space before making your way inside to discover the shaker-style kitchen, with an AGA cooker to whip up heart-warming meals.
There's also a sitting area with a cushioned sofa and wall-mounted TV to relax with a cold beverage whilst dinner is cooking.
Adjacent, you will find the dining room with an exposed stone wall and beams; here you can gather together for meals and enjoy a pack of cards for some family fun.
Climb upstairs to the first floor to unwind in the sitting room, where a woodburning stove gently heats the space as you relish a glass of wine.
The first floor leads out onto the rear garden, so why not carry the conversation onto the outdoor decking, as your furry friend stretches out in front of you?
As day draws to night, retire inside and sink into the tub for a bubble-bath, as the Velux window reveals the night sky.
Next door, is the master bedroom, hosting a king-size bed and to discover two more bedrooms, venture to the second floor for another king-size and a twin bedroom, serviced by a shower room.
In the morning, awaken tired eyes with a steaming cup of coffee in the garden, ready for a day of exploring.
Just paces away is the local pub, The Star Inn, where you can sample real ales and home-cooked meals, or pop into the convenience store for your own ingredients.
Jump in the car to visit local attractions, including Eyam Museum to learn about the Plague, stroll along the wonderful Water-Cum-Jolly Dale and test your stamina on an incline walk up Mam Tor.
Visit the Spa town of Buxton; here you can enjoy live entertainment at the grand Buxton Opera House, if that's not for you, delve underground into the two-million-year-old Poole's Cavern & Buxton Country Park.
Also, within easy reach and worth a trip, is the town of Bakewell to taste the renowned Bakewell Tart at a café or tour the stately home of Chatsworth House.
To treat the ones who mean the most, stay at Billy Whiskey's.

What guests are saying
This was a beautiful countryside stay, the property was easily found, with no issues parking on the street for our long weekend.
The property itself was so quirky and nice, great facilities and a real country side vibe that you want from a Peak District visit. Would definitely come again. Thanks for a fantastic stay
Have stayed here before and it is still a great place to stay.
A couple of friends joined me on this trip and they were over the moon with the accommodation. Another great stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Billy Whiskey's!
The cottage has been carefully restored without losing any of its charm. The owners have thoughtfully considered guests' every need including a fully stocked kitchen, (complete with some lovely local treats and essentials in the fridge), high quality towels and quiet John Lewis fans to help keep cool in the heat. The garden is lovely and we even had some sheep come and visit one evening :) The location is perfect for local hikes, and access to all the village amenities and surrounding areas of natural beauty. Highly recommended!
