Lovely location and property
Beech cottage is a lovely property in a perfect location for good interesting walks. With 2 pub restaurants, a speciality cheese shop and ice cream parlour a few minutes walk away, what more could you want. I would recommend this property.

Ideal location
Birch Cottage is in a very good location for exploring and walking in the Peak District. We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, though Covid restrictions meant it was not as well equipped as normal.

Lovely cottage in picturesque surroundings
My partner, baby and I had a lovely and very relaxing time in Fred and Lesley's cottage. The wood burner was lit and there was tea and nice biscuits, on our arrival, which was a lovely, welcoming touch. The cottage was very clean and well equipped and catered perfectly for our baby, with high chair and stair gates. The village of Hartington is idyllic and surrounded by beautiful Derbyshire countryside. We went on walks most days, including to nearby village Biggin, to have a pub lunch. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fred and Lesley's cottage and have already done so to family members. Thanks very much for making us feel so welcome!

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 perfectly 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 village and 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.
