“The cottage setting was spectacular ...”

The cottage setting was spectacular and the interiors very presentable, warm and comfy. The owner and staff polite and friendly. However, a series of basic maintenance/provision issues could improve the experience. Examples are: 1.The two televisions did not work for first two nights as the aerial cabling came loose in bad weather. This is understandable, but there were no DVDs, only a couple of uninspiring left-behind novels, a jigsaw and a Countdown board game with no instructions to substitute. We set up a laptop in the kitchen and my 88 year old mother and 69 year old cousin managed to watch a couple of catchups. The wifi signal seemed to be centrally positioned so ends of cottage were wireless. 2. There were no big saucepans only medium and small. This made cooking a full meal for five tricky. 3. No potato peeler. 4. No serving spoons. 5. Only three mugs of one design and three of another; of four smaller mugs, two were chipped; no desert/cereal bowls just pasta/soup bowls. 6. Although there was a guide book, the lack of obvious instructions to white goods (other than TV/DVD player) and electric shower could pose a problem to some people.

Cressbrook Hall Cottages

These charming character cottages are set in 23 acres of secluded park and woodland with spectacular views over the waters of Water-cum-Jolly Dale and the River Wye in the Peak District National Park, just 5 miles from the attractive little market town of Bakewell. Cressbrook Hall is an impressive Grade II listed Tudor-style mansion, built in 1835 during the reign of William IV, and a perfect holiday location - from romantic getaways for couples to large family get-togethers and even weddings and corporate events. Offering stylish accommodation with panoramic views of The Monsal Trail, Upperdale, the village of Cressbrook, and the River Wye, guests have the choice of seven individual beautifully-appointed properties, including a wing of the main Hall. There is a choice of 3 converted gardeners buildings set in a Victorian walled garden with stunning views over the valley, 3 traditional properties set around the Tudor-style Lodge, again with spectacular views - this time of the River Wye, and finally a wing of the main hall overlooking the formal gardens. Guests can also enjoy the perfect angling holiday in the clear waters of the internationally-famous River Wye, which runs alongside the grounds of the Hall. For those guests who prefer a more active holiday, mountaineering, caving, mountain biking, hang gliding, sailing, canoeing, orienteering, abseiling and hiking are all available nearby. Of course, you could just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surroundings and even have your breakfast cooked for you each morning. This group of wonderful holiday cottages will provide a memorable holiday at any time of the year, as you relax in the superb surroundings with stunning views.

About the location

CRESSBROOK

Tideswell 3 miles; Bakewell 4 miles.

Cressbrook is located on the River Wye and its focal point is the wonderful mill, which was built in 1779 by the famous Richard Arkwright. The surrounding area has some of the prettiest scenery in the Peak District. Follow the footpath upstream of Cressbrook Mill to Water-cum-Jolly, a beautiful river gorge with fine limestone cliffs, which is superb for rock climbers, birdwatchers and walkers. North of the mill lies the lane to Ravensdale, which is adjacent to Cressbrook Dale, a fine gorge-like limestone dale with numerous crags and the remains of several lead mines. Cressbrook Dale is a National Nature Reserve renowned for its range of rare flowers. South of the mill you pass through the lovely Upper Dale and Nether Dale leading up to the famous landmark of Monsal Head, which is on the Monsal Trail. This provides a wonderful “behind the scenes” view of this beautiful part of Derbyshire. Close by is the lovely little village of Litton, which has a village green outside the wonderful food-serving pub, The Red Lion, and a well-stocked village shop. Visit nearby Tideswell in the heart of the Peak District National Park with its fine church dedicated to St John the Baptist, known as "The Cathedral of the Peak", country inns, local eateries, wells dressing and carnival wakes. There is excellent walking with rugged peaks to the north and gentle hills and dales to the south, while Mam Tor and Castleton are only a few miles away with the popular Spa town of Buxton a 25 minute drive.
