About this property
Character Cottage with country charm
Escape to this charming holiday cottage, where historic character meets modern comfort. Originally built in 1860, this beautifully renovated miner’s cottage offers a deceptively spacious retreat with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Step inside to find three inviting bedrooms, accommodating up to five guests—two with king-sized beds and one with a single. The fully equipped kitchen and open-plan dining area provide the perfect setting for meals and gatherings, while the separate living room features a smart TV, WiFi, and an electric fireplace, ensuring cosy nights in. Fresh towels and bedding are provided. Located just a short stroll away, you’ll find a welcoming pub, a chippy, and an off-licence, while a farm shop is only four minutes away for fresh local produce. Easy street parking is available nearby, with details provided upon check-in.
Ideally situated for exploring the National Park, visiting Alton Towers, or discovering the fascinating Pools Caverns, this cottage is just a four-minute drive from the town, making it a perfect base for your adventures.

About the host
Hosted by Philippa
I’m originally from Canada but have lived here for many years.
Why they chose this property
I bought this house as a way to honour my father’s memory. He always said Buxton was home. I spend time at Harpur Cottage to feel closer to him.
What makes this property unique
My house has been carefully curated to give guests a wonderful homely feel. Guests described my place as “deceptively spacious” and I’ve worked hard to make it feel like a home away from home and set expectations before my guests arrive.
