About this property

Walker's Rest Cottage - perfect for two in the Peaks

Situated within the stunning Peak District National Park, Walker’s Rest offers a luxurious escape. Part of the award-winning Wheeldon Trees retreat, this idyllic country cottage has been recognised as one of the top 10% of places to stay worldwide on TripAdvisor.

Inside you’ll discover open-plan living with underfloor heating, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a cosy living area with smart TV and Alexa, perfect for relaxing evenings. All crockery, glassware and cookware are provided, as well as essentials such as olive oil and salt and pepper.

The large double bedroom can either be made up as a super king bed or twins. All linens are provided – ours are white and Egyptian.

A modern bathroom with a bath and a separate walk-in shower completes the cottage. Fluffy white bath towels and hand towels are provided. Our toiletries are made for us by local company Peak Soap and include hand wash, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.

To enhance your stay, indulge in a pampering wellness treatment from The Feelgood Pamper Company, brought directly to your cottage.

For dining, two local pubs, the Royal Oak and the Packhorse Inn, offer delicious food and a warm atmosphere. We recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends. For coffee and cake we suggest the High Peak Bookstore and for the best ice cream you will ever taste, try Tagg Lane Gelato.

As your hosts, Hazel and Steve, we're just a short drive away in Ashbourne and are on hand to assist if you need us. We've taken care of the essentials, providing a welcome tote filled with tea, coffee, butter, milk, eggs and sweet treats.

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the extraordinary at Wheeldon Trees.

Peaceful place which is very modern and superbly equipped

Clean, quiet and very well equipped. There is all the utensils and crockery you need to cook your own meals. Bed very comfortable, and great walks from the cottage. Lovely touch is there are plenty of food staples to buy should you have forgotten anything, as shops a few miles away. Would definitely return!

Countryside Dream!

Stunning property! We stayed for two nights in Walkers Rest cottage, it was very comfortable and had all the comforts of home. Our welcome package was much appreciated and we enjoyed the local products included. Surrounding area was so picturesque. One evening we walked (approx 40mins) to the Royal Oak Pub for a delicious meal and a few pints, and the next morning we went for a jog in the area & local footpaths. Lots of farm animals directly surrounding the property, the sounds of the cows and sheep at night lulled us to sleep. Having laundry facilities on site was so convenient, as well the little shop.Definitely recommend hiking the Mam Tor if you’re staying in the area, as well as checking out the Monsal Trail (we rented e-bikes at the Blackwell Mill Cycle Hire and rode to Bakewell for a tart and cider then cycled back - such a beautiful trail with many places to stop for sightseeing/grub, one of the highlights of our UK trip!)Would highly recommend making your countryside dreams come true at Wheeldon Tree Cottages!

About the host

Hosted by Hazel Roche

We gave up corporate life in 2021 for a more wholesome outdoors adventure. Steve was in housebuilding and Hazel owned a PR and advertising agency. We live just down the road in Ashbourne but are a phone call away if you need us.

Why they chose this property

The Peak District National Park is stunning. If you love cosy cottages, bracing walks, top tastic country pubs and gorgeous countryside, Wheeldon Trees Cottages is for you.

What makes this property unique

We’ve tried our best to ensure all you need to do is turn up. Our sheets are Egyptian cotton, our towels are fluffy and white. From olive oil in the kitchen to luxury toiletries hand-made locally for us, we have tried to think of everything. We love travelling ourselves, so all we have done is try to cover everything we would need. Add in historic chocolate-box cottages and stunning scenery – we think we have the perfect Peak District spot.
