Hard to fault!
Birch Cottage was the perfect setting for our 4-night September stay., and Hartington also has much to recommend it. As two (related) couples the accommodation offered 2 sizeable king sized bedrooms, while the kitchen/dining room and living room space was more than adequate for our needs. The outdoor space is also lovely, though during our stay the temperature rarely reached a comfortable level to sit outside. We loved Hartington, the village itself and it’s setting. It could do with a nice pub/restaurant, both the existing pubs having suffered from the effects of the pandemic, but that may change. Two nice cafes go some way to make up for it, and there’s two great village stores for your provisions, including lovely fresh bread, plus an excellent cheese shop. The surrounding area is also perfect for beautiful, scenic walks, in almost any direction, and not far from other highlights like Dovedale, the Tissington Trail, Ashbourne and Buxton (plus a fantastic bookshop on the A515). All in all a pefect stay. Loved it!

Fantastic cottage in a picturesque village!
We stayed at Birch Cottage for 2 weeks and it was like a home from home. The cottage was perfect for our stay in the Peak District, with lovely walks right from the doorstep. The cottage was clean and catered for all our needs (including WiFi for our 2 teenagers!) Lesley and Fred were lovely hosts. Hartington was a beautiful village, with 2 great pubs, village store (for essentials) and the farm shop served great food too! This was the perfect base to explore the surrounding area, being midway between Buxton and Ashbourne. A fantastic family holiday!

About the host

Hosted by Fred & Lesley Birch

Host profile image
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.
