Set within the tiny hamlet of Millers Dale, in the heart of the Peak District on the River Wye, the scenery is magnificent, with the impressive Ravenstor Cliff only a short distance down the road, on the route to the infamous Litton Mill. This was once a major junction on the midland railway line and Millers Dale was one of the largest stations on the line, which now boasts spectacular views of the twin viaducts that once carried the powerful steam locomotives. This old line now forms a traffic free route for 8½ miles of walking and cycling, passing through some of the Peak Districts amazing limestone valleys. Tideswell, Buxton, Bakewell, Castleton and Chatsworth are all close by. There are some excellent walks with rugged peaks to the north, and gentle hills to the south. This fantastic property really does provide perfect accommodation for those looking to come and explore historic Peak District towns, and enjoy this part of the country at any time of the year. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

    What an excellent cottage in a stunning location. Very clean and well equipped; as with other visitors we failed to make the oven work, despite the How To video, but it did not detract from our stay. Great walks from the doorstep and easy to access facilities in Bakewell. Would highly recommend

    Great house, in a fantastic location. House was warm, spacious and had everything we needed. Lots of walks direct from the house and close enough to amenities.
