A character stone cottage on our non-working farm, in a glorious location over looking dales and rolling countryside in the heart of the White Peak area of the Peak District.

This four person cottage is one of five award winning cottages around a courtyard that however faces outwards for some degree of privacy and to take advantage of the wonderful views.

Despite having been consistently graded 4 Star (and under the old grading system 4 Key ‘Highly Commended’) this cottages has within the last year had a new kitchen fitted with gloss work-tops, solid oak units, halogen cooker and gorgeous granite stone sink. The bathroom has also been up-graded. In addition the cottage has the full Sky sports package. Dale View is 'up-side down' namely the living area is on the first floor to take advantage of an original beam that runs through the property, and so that the best views can be seen from the living area, whilst the cottage has a double and twin bedroom are on the ground floor. There are two means of entry, either on the ground floor 9with an internal staircase to get up to the living area) or alternatively via outside stone steps entering directly into the living area.The cottage, with its neighbours, located 300 yards up our private drive, has exposed beams and stone-work. In front of these cottages is a large grassed and garden area. There is ample area for off-road parking.

In the cottage there are seven highly organised information folders, partly written by the owners themselves who are lovers of the Peak. Those sections that contain commercially produced leaflets are set out in order of proximity to the cottages and most are within 30 minutes drive. Indeed we venture to suggest that there are more attractions within 30 minutes of our cottages, than anywhere else in Britain. Guests have heaped praise on this source of information which ensure that even those who have stayed with us numerous times still find plenty new to do. Events lists are supplied in advance between May and September. Housekeeping and attention to detail is regarded by the owners, who strive to encourage return visits, as being of paramount importance as is their concern is to ensure guests have an excellent holiday.

There are two wild flowers meadows on our land, which together with two hay fields are managed under a Coutryside Stewardship Scheme. One of the meadows borders a nature reserve leading after just over a mile to the Rive Dove (at Wolfscote Dale). One mile downstream is Dovedale. The cottages are located off a quiet country lane between the highly popular village of Hartington and its smaller, quieter neighbour, Biggin. Both villages have pubs serving full meals cafes and a church. There is also an excellent restaurant about a mile away. Biggin has a lovely Hall where excellent cream teas are sold.

Numerous footpaths surround the land on which the cottages stand, offering unrivalled walking in the best part of the White Peak. The highly popular Tissington Trail, which runs for 17 miles, is used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and is less than 1 mile from us. Two further trails, (both of similar distance), are within 3 miles. These three tracks are ideal for family cycling, as is the network of quiet minor roads, which can be accessed at numerous points along the trails.

The cottages are situated very much in the heart of the White Peak area of the Peak District. (The White Peak is the area of rolling countryside, dales, streams and rivers limestone villages and dry-stone walls, which give the area so much character, the Dark Peak is mainly moorland)Buxton , Matlock, Bakewell, Ashbourne, Leek and Chatsworth House are all about 11 miles away on the edge of the Peak District at different points on the compass, confirming the owners' claim to be very much in the heart of the White Peak area of the Peak District.
