Holiday getaway

Spent four nights away with my partner at this lovely, cozy cottage in the Peak district. Great location, still need your own car but a short drive away from Buxton and Bakewell. Hosts left us a nice welcome package upon arrival, we would definitely recommend and stay again in the future if the hosts would have us..

A delightful place to stay

My husband and I rented Priestley Cottage for five days and invited my sister to join us. We chose the location as we wanted to be close to Buxton for the festival for which we had booked tickets for two evening events. However, we like walking and have visited Derbyshire in the past. This cottage was perfect in every way - quiet, well located and had all we needed. Hazel and Steve were excellent hosts - not intrusive, but extremely helpful. There were welcoming goodies in the cottage and my sister bought some of the local fare to take to relatives in Sheffield. We went twice for lunch at the wonderful Royal Oak - once walked there and back (7km) and once by car in pouring rain. The Packhorse Inn is also to be recommended.

A lovely base for exploring the peaks

We really enjoyed our stay here. We received a warm welcome in more ways than one, as our property was nice a toasty on arrival. The welcome package which contained milk, butter, tea, coffee, wine and an assortment of treats was up there with some of the best we've had from other places we've stayed. The property is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so nice and quiet. On a clear night you will get a good look at the stars as there's very little light pollution. You are not too far away from well known towns like Bakewell and Buxton, which only take about 15 minutes to drive to. Also, popular walks like Mam Tor and the stepping stones in Dovedale are around 25-35 minutes away. We can recommend both The Royal Oak and Pack Horse Inn pubs that are nearby and walkable. They do great food and local beers. If you're staying when the farmer's market is in Bakewell, that is also definitely worth a visit. Overall, the property was clean, well maintained, comfortable and in a lovely location. We would recommend it as a base if you fancy visiting the Peak District.
