About the host

Hosted by Katie Squires

Host profile image
Hi, I'm your host Katie. Lancaster Cottage was formerly my home and is a very special place. I now live in the next village and am close at hand if you need anything during your stay. The Peak District is a beautiful place to live and work. I am lucky enough to be a professional gardener and planting designer in the local area. In my spare time I spend A LOT of time hiking and exploring the Peaks.

Why they chose this property

This area has everything - the scenery is fantastic, it is rural whilst still being accessible, the locals are very friendly and the pubs are great. The walking is varied - hills, dales, Derbyshire's dramatic gritstone edges, lakes - there is something for everyone. It is also an uncrowded part of the Peak District, which is an added bonus.

What makes this property unique

I love being immersed in nature and despite being in a village, my cottage is off the beaten track and surrounded by beautiful plants, trees and open countryside. It is utterly peaceful - you can only hear birds and bees and at night lots of owls.The garden and garden room have views to the hills and are very special indeed.
