A great base to explore the High Peaks.
A great base to explore the High Peaks. My wife and I took our dog who thoroughly enjoyed Manor Park, opposite the cottage. Beds and furniture comfy, good range of kitchen appliances and a homely feel. The welcome basket was a nice touch, the wine goes well with the lemon drizzle cake!Glossop is a lovely little town with a good range of shops and supermarkets and there are picturesque villages dotted all over North Derbyshire, most pubs are dog friendly.For those interested in stately homes and history, we visited Dunham Massey, Lyme (both National Trust - we are members) and Bramhall Hall owned by Stockport Council. On previous visits to south Derbyshire we visited Hardwick Hall, Calke Abbey, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth, but they are quite a drive from Manor Park Cottage.Glossop sits in Glossopdale, everywhere is up from there, you're surrounded by tall hills. A very relaxing place to be surrounded by spectacular scenery. The weather was good to us too, apart from the Sunday when it rained all day. We took the opportunity to have a drive around and visited Tideswell, where the St. John the Baptist church is known as the "Cathedral of the Peaks" and Castleton, home of the Blue John mines - last time we were there we took Kobbs, our dog, down a mine! He goes with us wherever possible or probable.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thoroughly recommend Park Cottage.
