Upstairs leads to the romance of the double bedroom, with beams and vaulted ceiling and an en-suite, complete with shower and short bath for that indulgent bubble bath after a day of walking.

This cottage is in a wonderful location for exploring the whole of the Peak District, the picturesque market town of Bakewell is just five miles away, offering a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst good walking is available in the Peak District National Park. With Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall also within easy reach. This is an ideal Peak District cottage for a romantic escape, all through the year.

Eyam is one of the best-preserved villages in the Peak District National Park, nestled at the foot of Sir William Hill, 800ft above sea level and is surrounded by the most glorious countryside. Historically the village is known as the famous 'plague village', as it went into voluntary quarantine when the plague was imported from London in 1665 and thus prevented the spread of the disease. There are many fine old houses in Eyam, and parts of the village have been kept as they looked several centuries ago, such as Eyam Hall, a beautiful 17th century manor house with delightful gardens, craft shops and tea rooms.
