About this property
Hayfield 1.5 miles. This lovely stone-terraced cottage is situated on a quiet country lane in the High Peak village of Little Hayfield, with excellent walking and cycling from the doorstep. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the delightful cottage retains lots of its original features and provides comfortable accommodation for those looking to explore the beauty of this wonderful part of the Peak District. There are two pleasant bedrooms and a family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. The sitting room with its warm and welcoming woodburning stove is ideal to curl up in front of with your favourite tipple, and the well-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing a hearty home-cooked meal. Outside is a pretty flagged patio, making a great place to sit and relax whist planning the next day's activities. A handy boot room provides an ideal space for storing muddy walking boots and wet clothes. From the doorstep are excellent walks and cycle ways, with varied trails to suit everyone, from taking a stroll in the countryside to the more serious walkers and mountain bikers. You can take a hike to Kinder Scout and Lantern Pike, taking in this magnificent stunning moorland in the Dark Peak with its breathtaking views. Also close by is the excellent Sett Valley Trail, a 2.5 mile recreational bridleway for walkers, cyclists and horse riders with outstanding views. Little Hayfield, a hamlet near the village of Hayfield has a lovely old traditional pub and is within walking distance of the cottage. Nearby Buxton, Castleton and Bakewell are all just short drives away, whilst the historic house of Chatsworth is well-worth a visit. This charming cottage is in a great location which can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
The delightful High Peak village of Hayfield is situated in a wonderful rural setting on the north western edge of the Peak National Park. It’s a peaceful little village, popular with walkers who are attracted by its close proximity to Kinder Scout. Serious walkers head east out of the village, up and over the green foothills to the russet expanse of the Kinder Plateau, Pennine Way and Snake Path, whilst families (and those who enjoy more gentle rambles) head west along the beautiful Sett Valley Trail towards New Mills. Edale – an alternative start of the Pennine Way - is only a few miles away. The village caters well for tourists with pubs, cafes and restaurants. Other local attractions include the Goyt Valley, Castleton – with its famous caverns - and the popular spa town of Buxton.

There is just one minor issue and that is with regard to the way that Sykes describe the LOCATION of the cottage: "This lovely stone-terraced cottage is situated on a quiet country lane in the High Peak village of Little Hayfield. The "country lane" is indeed (very) quiet but in essence is a narrow cul-de sac. Around 150 m past the cottage there is room to turn the car around by manoeuvring back and forward a few times. Parking is on one side of the road at about 10 cm from a 50 cm high wall built-up with rocks. This should not withhold anyone form booking Brook Cottage because the cottage certainly makes up for this inconvenience.

Every room was immaculately presented. It was clear that the host wanted us to enjoy our time there, which we did, immensely. Thank you Dianne. The location at first glance seem a bit remote, but everything you need is a short drive away. There's even a lovely pub that does great food, on the corner, that's only a short stagger away at the end of the evening. You should definitely go for a walk along the brook and up the hill too, the views are amazing. To conclude, if you like peace and quite, that's only interrupted by bird song, this is the place for you. So stop looking and get booking, you won't be sorry.
