About this property
Birch Cottage Holiday Cottage, centrally located In the village of Hartington.
Birch Cottage self catering holiday cottage in Hartington, is an ideal base from which to explore the Peak District National Park. The cottage is approximately 200 yards from the local village shops, Post Office and Inns.
The cottage is a 3 storey stone cottage. Convenient for couples and families to book.
We also have our sister cottage Beech Cottage which is next door.
The cottage has a south facing lawned garden at the front, with garden furniture and BBQ.
A private off road car parking space is available for one car, with ample additional car parking available on the quiet adjacent road. There is also a lockable storage area for cycles.
The interior of the cottage comprises of Lounge, Kitchen/Diner, Bathroom and three bedrooms.
The bedrooms sleep up to 7 guests in a king size bedroom and a single bedroom (which actually has a double bed but with access from one side only) on the 1st floor, and a family room with a king size and a single bed on the 2nd floor. However, if groups of adults from different households are staying it is suitable for only 4/5 adults, due to the number of beds in the cottage. The beds have duvets and are prepared ready for your arrival with cotton bed linen. A bath and hand towel is provided per guest. The bedrooms are furnished with wardrobes, bedside cabinets and storage space in either chest of drawers or shelving, and are fully carpeted. A travel cot with fitted bottom sheet is also available.
The bathroom is located on the 1st floor and is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC, basin, shaver point, heated towel rail. There is also an additional WC and basin in the family bedroom on the 2nd floor.
The lounge is comfortably furnished with leather settees for 7 guests, wooden floor, TV & BluRay DVD, coffee tables and a wood burning stove, an initial basket of logs is provided, additional logs can be purchased from ourselves for £5 per basket.
The kitchen/diner is fully equipped with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge (3 shelves), freezer (3 shelves), washer/dryer, microwave, kettle, toaster. All crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are provided.
The dining table is extendable and comfortably sits 7 guests, In addition there is also a high chair available.
Sorry but we do not accept bookings from hen/stag/house parties. If such bookings are made you will be asked to leave the property with no refund of monies paid.
Maximum number of guests allowed is 7 + baby.
The cottage is personally supervised by ourselves, and we are close at hand should you need any help or assistance or advice on activities and places to visit in the area.
As “locals”, having lived in Hartington all our lives, we have a wealth of local information. We take pride in our cottages, and our high standard of housekeeping reflects this.
We look forward to welcoming you to our cottages, and will endeavour to make your holiday relaxing and enjoyable.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Fred & Lesley Birch

We are Fred and Lesley Birch, and are both local to the area, Fred was born in Hartington and I was a staffordshire lass. We have both lived here for 40 years, and therefore we have a good knowledge of the local area. We are able to advise you on the best places to visit, to shop, to walk/cycle, to eat and to drink.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is conveniently situated in the beautiful village of Hartington. Hartington is an ideal place for visiting the Peak District and for sightseeing the area. The nearest towns which are approximately 10 miles away are Ashbourne, Buxton, Matlock, Bakewell and Leek. Chatsworth House, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire is 20 minute drive away, and Alton Towers theme park is also a 20 minute drive away. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are many scenic walks that you can do from the cottage door, without having to go out in your car. Two cycle trails are within 1 mile of the cottage,where you can cycle for 20+ miles on traffic free trails. The village benefits from 2 pubs, which both offer good food and drink, so again you can park your car up and not have to travel out.
The cottage has a south facing lawned front garden where you can soak up the sun, or have a chilled drink and barbeque. In the winter the cottage is cosy and warm with an inviting log burning stove, to keep away the Derbyshire chills, where you can curl up and sip a nice red wine or perhaps a small tot.

What makes this property unique
Whilst staying in the cottage, you can benefit from our knowledge on the area. Also we are close at hand if anything goes wrong such as the toaster deciding it is time to go the toaster graveyard in the sky, or if you have forgotten to bring a tin of baked beans for the children or maybe some nutmeg or herbs etc. We are always happy to help and to give assistance, but likewise we do not interfere with your stay, we just want you to enjoy your holiday at the cottage.
