Shires Rest is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and convenient location for exploring the Peak District. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the proximity to walking trails. The working farm setting adds charm, though it comes with country smells and sounds. The nearby pub and restaurant enhance the stay.
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained.
The location is highly regarded for its access to walking and cycling trails, and proximity to local attractions, despite some mentions of road noise and the need for caution when walking along roadways without footpaths.
Comfort is generally praised, with a few guests finding the settee and bed less comfortable. The warmth and cosiness of the cottage are frequently mentioned positively.
Facilities are well-received for being well-equipped and sufficient for guests' needs. However, some minor issues with maintenance, such as non-working radiators, have been noted.
There is insufficient information regarding specific thoughtful touches or gifts provided by the hosts, so a score cannot be accurately given.
This stone semi-detached cottage is situated in the hamlet of Newhaven, near the village of Hartington, a starting point for walkers and cyclists, with many places of interest just waiting to be discovered. Designed with couples in mind, Shires Rest is homely and inviting, an opportunity to spend some quality time in this wonderful part of the country. The interior commences with a country-cottage kitchen/diner set up for four people, continuing through to a traditional sitting room with upright grand piano and a gas-effect woodburner and a sofa bed ideal for an extra guest. The double bedroom promises a peaceful night's sleep, a comfy layout accompanied by charming furnishings, including a wardrobe and chest of drawers, all well-appointed for the classic shower room. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 996655, together they can sleep up to six people.
The former Hartington railway station, about a mile and half from the village itself, is now a picnic area and the converted track is known as the Tissington Trail, popular with both walkers and cyclists. Hartington is also a good starting point for walking along Beresford Dale, a beautiful place with its curiously formed cliffs and rocks.
