Cotterill Farm Cottages - Buxton, Derbyshire

Five award winning stone cottages, graded 4 star, in a suprb country but not isolated location in the Peak district, not far from the River Dove.Three cottages are for four persons, and the other two are equally large cottages but one (all on the ground floor and therefore particularly suitable for the less agile, sleeps three, and one sleeps only two.  Despite consistant and easy grading of 4 Star the owners constantly strive to improvie standards and the facilities they offer. The cottages have exposed beams and stone-work. The cottages are 300 yards up our private drive and form part of a courtyard facing outwards over the surrounding fields and dales to give excellent views and some degree of privacy. In front of these cottages is a large grassed and garden area. There is ample area for off-road parking for all cottages. The two person cottage has a galleried bedroom overlooking the large living room, in the centre of which is a log burner standing on a stone plinth acting as a focal point It also has a five piece suite in the quality bathroom.

Three of the cottages have full Sky programmes, (one with Sky Plus) two have freeview Sky and four have 2 tvs. All cottages have wireless broadband internet access. In each cottages there are eight(!) highly organised information folders, partly written by the owners themselves who are lovers of the Peak. Guests have heaped praise on this source of information which ensures that even those who have stayed with us numerous times still find plenty new to do. Events lists are supplied in advance between May and September. Housekeeping and attention to detail is regarded by the owners, who strive to encourage return visits, as being of paramount importance - 95% awarded by the Tourist Board Inspector in this department - as is their concern is to ensure guests have an excellent holiday.

Breakfast packs are available at cost, and cycle hire direct from Cotterill farm is also available, both at about one half of the rate offered by commercial organisations.

There are two wild flowers meadows managed under a Countyside Stewardship Scheme on our land, one of which borders a nature reserve leading after just over a mile to the Rive Dove (at Wolfscote Dale). One mile downstream is Dovedale. The cottages are located off a quiet country lane between the highly popular village of Hartington and its smaller, quieter neighbour, Biggin. Both villages have pubs serving full meals cafes and a church. There is also an excellent restaurants about a mile away. Biggin has a lovely Hall where excellent cream teas are sold. Numerous footpaths surround the land on which the cottages stand, offering unrivalled walking in the best part of the White Peak. The highly popular Tissington Trail, which runs for 17 miles, is used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and is less than 1 mile from us. Two further trails, (both of similar distance), are within 3 miles.
