About this property
A lovingly restored, traditional terraced cottage situated in the very heart of the village of Tideswell. Dating back to the 1700s, the cottage was once part of a shop, Chapmans of Tideswell, a newsagent and printing company. During WWII, the rear part of the present-day kitchen was used as a telephone exchange, hence the name of the property. Refurbished to a high standard throughout, great care has been taken to create a warm, comfortable holiday cottage in an idyllic location. Offering well equipped accommodation with two bedrooms, the property is just a short walk from the amenities of the village, including excellent old pubs, fine local eateries, intriguing curiosity shops, and cafes. With its central position in the heart of the Peak District National Park, and close proximity to Buxton, Bakewell and Chatsworth House, Exchange Cottage is the perfect base for a relaxing or romantic break.
Situated in the heart of the picturesque Peak District National Park, the lovely village of Tideswell enjoys beautiful surroundings. Famous for its church, "The Cathedral of the Peaks", which was dedicated to St John the Baptist, the village is also noted for its unique well-dressing and carnival wakes. With the Peak District always a favourite amongst ramblers, there are some excellent hill walks over the northern rugged peaks and the gently undulating hills of the southern dales. Only a fifteen minute drive away is the popular spa town of Buxton, whilst closer to home are the charming Mam Tor and Castleton, though with a variety of fine country inns, excellent restaurants, a chemist, a butchers and a bakers shop, you might never need to leave the village of Tideswell.

The weather was cold and wet so it was really nice to come back from a day out in the Peak District to somewhere cosy, clean and comfortable. The position of the cottage in Tideswell is ideal for all the local amenities, shops, café, fish and chips, bakery and pubs. There are lots of places to visit nearby and some lovely walks, an ideal base.

The kitchen, although small, was very well equipped. Also there were games, books and DVDs, lots of information and a clear detailed manual.
