Garden Cottage is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and idyllic location in the Peak District. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting on a working dairy farm, with stunning views and proximity to local attractions.

Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and homemade jam are noted, enhancing the charm of this rural retreat.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being very clean, fresh flowers, and a welcoming smell of polish upon arrival. Only one mention of needing to clean kitchen utensils suggests an isolated incident rather than a trend.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience for exploring the Peak District, with easy access to walks, towns, and attractions. The farm setting adds to the rural charm, contributing to the high rating.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the bed and sofa particularly comfortable. The only drawback mentioned is the low water pressure during farm operations, which seems to be a minor inconvenience.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage being well-equipped for a self-catering stay. However, some guests noted the lack of a bath and occasional issues with the shower due to water pressure, slightly lowering the score.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful gestures such as chocolates, biscuits, and homemade jam. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, although common, are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Sparrowpit 0.6 miles. A lovely, semi-detached barn conversion on a working dairy farm, enjoying superb country views, just outside the hamlet of Sparrowpit, 3 miles from the amenities of Chapel-en-le-Frith, 4 miles from Castleton. Full of charm, this cottage has been lovingly converted, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable double bedroom and a cosy sitting room with beams and an electric woodburner-effect stove. Enjoy beautiful walks from the doorstep over Rushup Edge and to Edale or Castleton, cycle on the nearby Tissington Trail or take a sightseeing tour of the wonderful Peak District National Park. With the market town of Buxton within easy reach, this is an ideal cottage to get away from it all and enjoy a break in the country.
Sparrowpit is a delightful little hamlet surrounded by verdant green countryside, set amongst the beautiful rolling fells of the Peak District National Park, boasting a village hall and many pretty cottages. Sparrowpit is perfectly situated for either an action packed break full of caving, climbing, and enjoying the great walks from the doorstep, or a quiet countryside break in this rural part of the Peaks. The Winnats Pass cuts a course through superb scenery down to Castleton, and is a delight for walkers, cyclists and motorists alike. Nearby are the pretty villages of Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Castleton and Hope, while horse riding, cycling and walking and the wonderful Castleton Caves are all available within 7 miles.

Beautifully decorated and dressed in a modern country style. Ideal location to stay as not that far from Peak District attractions ie Chatsworth House 30 mins away . Lots of space for clothes etc and a well equipped kitchen a real homely place to stay.
