About this property
Historic Peak District Cottage in Tideswell in a Peaceful Location.
Swift Cottage Tideswell is a three bedroom quality cottage ideally placed for a self-catering holiday for groups of up to 5 in the Peak District National Park. One of four terraced former quarrymen's dwellings dating back to the early 1800s, Swift Cottage is located in a peaceful location on the edge of Tideswell.
Recently refurbished and well-maintained, it provides spotlessly clean, bright and airy accommodation with quality furnishings throughout, creating an unparalleled environment with all the modern facilities required for a perfect self-catering holiday. Recent additions include quality Miele cooker, a new logburner, Silentnight mattresses, a new microwave as well as crockery and cooking utensils by top brands such as Le Creuset and Sarbatier.
Swift Cottage has some of the best views in Tideswell, overlooking the well-kept cottage garden to the dale beyond. The cottage is well-maintained and benefits from quality wooden flooring in bedrooms and sitting room, a paved patio with teak garden furniture and a luxury bathroom with underfloor heating, a whirlpool bath and separate shower. Free WiFi is provided. Local walking and guide books, games and novels, a Blu Ray player and 32" LG Smart TV are provided in the cosy sitting room, complete with log burner.
Main access is via the shared level footpath across the fronts of the neighbouring cottages on the terrace, with additional private access via steps through the front garden and through the back entrance leading to the off road car park.
Secure storage is provided for up to 4 bicycles and a barbecue is supplied for outdoor cooking on the patio.
Swift Cottage Tideswell is annually accessed and rated at Visit Britain 4 Star standard, and equipped accordingly. Swift Cottage has received many five star reviews and is rated "Excellent" on a popular site which provides advice for those going on trips.
A travel cot is provided, together with a high chair.
Swift Cottage Tideswell is particularly suited to couples, small groups and families who are seeking that little bit of extra luxury from a country cottage holiday.
Parking in the Townhead area of Tideswell is plentiful, either in the car park 25 metres to the rear of the cottage or on the surrounding roads.
Minimum 2 night breaks are offered out of season (October - March, excluding some holiday periods), minimum 7 nights during high season (Friday changeover).
For any bookings of between 4 - 6 days please request a quote as the price quoted by VRBO is likely to be higher due to booking system limitations.
Up to two small- to medium-sized dogs are permitted at an additional charge of £40.
Discounts for couples using one bedroom/bed and for last minute full week bookings (under 4 weeks from start date) are available out of season - please ask! Please note, advertisement listings for Swift Cottage Tideswell can be found elsewhere and prices may vary from those advertised on this site.

About the host

Long term village residents committed to providing clean, comfortable accommodation to our guests!
Why they chose this property
As long term Tideswell residents, we purchased Swift Cottage in 2010 because of its unique, peaceful edge of village location, unparalleled views, yet proximity to the amenities found in the bustling village centre just a few minutes walk away. Our aim from the outset has been to provide guests with a degree of comfort not found in the average holiday cottage locally at a reasonable price, installing touches of luxury such as the bathroom with whirlpool bath and underfloor heating, wooden floors in all bedrooms, quality mattresses and linen, free Wi Fi and live streaming movies and news.
We live in the village so are always on hand should you need us - yet far enough away so you don’t feel we’re overlooking you or encroaching on your privacy! Furthermore we have a housekeeper and cottage maintenance team on hand locally to assist if necessary.

What makes this property unique
We are ideally located on a peaceful edge of village location in the very heart of the Peak District National Park. The outdoor dining area (with quality teak furnishing), well-tended garden and views across the dale are unsurpassed within Tideswell. You can easily walk - run or ride a bike - from the front door into surrounding unspoilt countryside. Parking in the Townhead area of the village is plentiful, both on road and in the car park 25 yards to the rear of Swift Cottage.
Spectacular country houses such as Chatsworth and Haddon Hall and market towns like Bakewell and Buxton are just a short drive away. The village has excellent facilities including a range of shops, 2 restaurants, 2 tea rooms/cafés and 3 very good pubs which serve local food and drink, all within easy walking distance of the cottage (and several more close by!)
Tideswell is a charming 'real' village where the local residents are friendly and life passes at a relaxed pace reminiscent of a past era. Relax and enjoy the setting - we did and decided to stay!
