After looking around this home, you probably wouldn't guess that the property has been standing for more than a quarter of a millennium, but that's a testament to the care and attention that has gone into the renovation.

Aside from the odd exposed stone wall and the original fireplace, the interior is as contemporary as they come, but great importance is placed on cosiness, too. Underfloor heating and a wood-burner will get you warmed up once again after bracing country walks, while the huge kitchen has plenty of space for whipping up hearty feasts. If the weather's playing ball, you can even eat outside, which will give you an opportunity to admire the bucolic scenery.

As well as this private patio and barbecue, there's a shared fire pit on the grounds around which to gather once darkness falls. Guests also get access to a shared games room, which has tables for ping-pong and pool, board games and toys, as well as a small shop selling meat from the surrounding farm and locally produced artisanal products.

Sitting deep within the Peak District, you're certainly not short of walking routes in the local area, plus a couple of historic attractions — Magpie Mine is only a ten-minute walk, for instance. And what would a rural getaway be without a charming pub? You'll probably be happy to hear that the closest one is only eight minutes away on foot.


Gazing & Grazing

This cosy cottage perfectly marries authentic farmhouse design with modern comforts. High-quality fittings and contemporary furniture is touched by the charm and character of traditional farm buildings. 

The quaint, stone exterior exudes a homespun quality, yet the cottage flourishes with modern luxury once inside. Think chairs made with Italian leather, a smart TV with multiple streaming platforms and a huge L-shaped sofa flowing along the exposed brick walls. There's also a stylish breakfast bar to sit with a morning cup of coffee and slowly wake up amongst the tranquility. 

Unique, neatly designed and homely, it's the type of home that breathes a sense of calm into your body. However, that feeling of calm changes to excitement once you enter the games room, featuring table tennis and a pool table. Kids can spend hours switching between the two, and the adults usually fancy a game too. 

In the summer months, the games continue outdoors. Your hosts can provide equipment for football games and rounders, encompassed by the sweeping beauty of the rolling hills. 

If you'd prefer a slower pace to the day, simply sit in the garden with a glass of wine and admire the stunning view. But we do suggest getting your walking boots on for at least a day or two – the sprawling beauty of the Peak District deserves to be explored. 





A Modern Character

A picture-perfect cottage in the heart of the historic Peak District village of Youlgreave and surrounded by stunning countryside, this home offers a peaceful retreat from your everyday routine.

The interior blends period features with modern comfort to create a welcoming home from home. Alongside beautiful exposed stone, a forest green wood burner and stylish sash windows, you'll find underfloor heating, a gloriously comfortable leather corner sofa and a well-equipped kitchen that leads out into a quaint courtyard garden.

Climb the narrow stairs and you'll uncover a relaxing bedroom with a restful bed sitting beneath an elegant canopy, with a sleek bathroom just a step across the hallway.

Step outside and you'll find yourself within a short stroll of three village pubs, a cute cafe/general store and the local Post Office. For adventures further afield, you're just five miles from the pretty town of Matlock and the grand Haddon Hall estate, while the bustling town of Bakewell is just a few miles further.

Courtyard Keeper

Welcoming guests in style, this converted barn in West Yorkshire boasts a large living area with ample room to socialise and sprawl out. In keeping with its rustic charm, it features plenty of exposed stone, wooden beams and high vaulted ceilings, while modern touches such as a striking bespoke staircase, innovative handmade lighting and a sleek island kitchen have been installed with luxury and comfort in mind. Enjoy meals together at the long table in the open dining area, admiring scenic views of the Yorkshire countryside through vast picture windows. Venture off into the surrounding area and experience the picturesque views first hand, discovering the tranquil beauty of the woodlands. When you're in the mood for exploring further, take a short drive to the quaint village of Ripponden for a hearty pub meal in one of the charming eateries and an enticing taste of the slow life.

Tell a Tale

With 5 acres at your disposal, this rustic cottage in the Peak District is the ideal escape for anyone looking to indulge in a slice of rural peace. Not so rural, however, that you can’t easily nip into the Georgian gem that is Ashbourne. Explore the local coffee shops and markets whilst you’re there by strolling the cobbled streets and admiring the architecture. The award-winning Callow Hall is five minutes away, and Thor’s Cave – one of the beautiful hiking trails of the area – can be found at the other end of a twenty-minute drive. 

But we bet we had you at rural peace, didn’t we? You’d be right to embrace it and there’s no better way than soaking up all that quiet from your position on the sunlounger. In the summer months, you can ward off the heat by slipping into the beautifully clear, private pool. Autumn and spring would best be spent strolling the large garden – you might even pack a basket and thermos for an impromptu picnic when you find a spot that you’re particularly drawn to. 

Select one of the books in the library and curl up with it on the leather sofa, only getting up to top off your coffee. Evenings can be spent watching a movie in front of the crackling fire or by playing board games – just as long as you don’t forget the cocoa. If it’s not too nippy out yet, you might also find an alfresco meal at sunset to be one of your favourite moments of the day.

Bentley Brook Cottage

This charming apartment is tucked away in the heart of the Peak District. It’s the perfect base for a couple looking to spend a few romantic days away in the countryside. Beautiful Bakewell is a fourteen-minute drive, and Chatsworth House, with its rich history and stunning gardens, is eighteen minutes away. 

This is a home with comfort at its heart. After days spent touring historic houses and meandering around scenic villages, it’s a delight to return to. You might spend the morning hiking in the countryside surrounding the farm, and then head back here to curl up with a good book. The courtyard garden is a lovely spot for an alfresco lunch, and boasts gorgeous views. 

In the evening, stroll thirteen minutes to the local pub for a pint by the roaring fire. You can dine there or back at the apartment, enjoying the cosy open-plan living and dining space. Later on, sink into the oh-so-comfortable bed – you’re guaranteed a peaceful night’s sleep here. 


Peaky Blinder

Situated within a Peak District estate, this 16th-century hunting tower was built for Bess of Hardwick, the ancestress of the Duke of Devonshire. This four-storey tower isn’t suitable for young children or guests with limited mobility – you’ll need to ascend the steep and winding staircase to reach all areas of this abode. Expect traditional features, with an AGA for cooking family favourites after a day exploring Chatsworth House. You’ll find a health club on the estate too, so speak to your host to arrange a spa session. After a few tennis games on the communal courts, unwind with a glass of red in the cosy sitting room. For local hikes, Curbar Edge and Froggatt Edge are a​​ fifteen-minute drive away.  

To the Tower

This charming three-bedroom cottage is situated in the heart of Hassop village, near Bakewell, and was once a gatekeeper's lodge to the hall. This characterful property boasts original features such as stone mullioned windows, exposed beams and an open fireplace. The cottage's neutral decor creates a peaceful atmosphere and plenty of natural light. The bedrooms consist of two ground-floor rooms, one with a king bed and the other with twin beds that share a shower room, while the third bedroom is on the first floor and has a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom. The beautiful garden area at the rear of the property has seating for six people and a charcoal barbecue, perfect for al fresco dining. The cottage is ideally located for exploring the Peak District, with countryside walks and bike rides on the doorstep, as well as shops and amenities in nearby villages. A visit to Dovedale's famed stepping stones is not to be missed, nor are the many stately homes in the area such as Chatsworth House or Haddon Hall.

Harp's Nest

For incredible views across countryside hills and fields, it doesn’t much better than this. This stone brick cottage sits beside the idyllic Matlock Hills, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District National Park. It’s a wonderful choice for those looking for a romantic retreat or adventurous getaway, with a happy mix of hiking trails and quaint villages in the area. 

Inside, the cottage is the epitome of country chic, with contemporary appliances meeting classic features. The kitchen is the heart of it all – you’ll love preparing breakfasts in this wholesome setting, with the kitchen’s electric fireplace cutting through the early cold. Take your morning coffee out to your courtyard for a refreshing start to the day, or hurry back inside to be hugged by the warmth. 

Rich tones add to the luxurious feel, from the distinguished bedrooms to the warm living room – nothing says cosy getaway like sinking into the sofa, warmed up by the log-burning fireplace, with the far-stretching landscape coming into view.

To really make the most of that view, a sundowner or two on the front porch is a must. The west-facing bistro table is the perfect space to catch sunset, followed by nibbles, a few more wines, and stargazing in the back courtyard. 

Your cottage’s location of Hackney means you’re in a great position to explore Derbyshire and the Peak District. Take the thirty-minute stroll through the picturesque setting (or a five-minute drive) to reach Matlock, a quintessential English boating village full of arcades, traditional ice cream shops, and chip shops. 

Ode to the Hills

Set in a tiny hamlet above bohemian Hebden Bridge, the location of this home is everything.  Thick with artists, crafters, beekeepers, and people who like to do things a bit differently, HB must be one of the most unique villages in England. That quirky, independent spirit carries through into this cottage, with its eclectic mix of furnishings. Think classical with touches of the Middle East, craft crockery and striking wall art. The tree-filled garden is just the place for a morning chai latte, before browsing Hebden Bridge’s independent boutiques, watching an art-house film at the 1920s Picture House, or making a literary pilgrimage to Sylvia Plath’s grave in the ruined churchyard across the road. If you’d like an outdoorsy interlude from all that arts and culture, the surrounding countryside is prime territory for hiking. Come back to your small but perfectly formed base for an evening of love, laughter and stories around the firepit. 

Counting Stars

This quirky flat in Sheffield has urban cool written all over it. Lush greens, bold oranges, leafy plants and bamboo accents give the place a natural, bohemian flair. We think it's as cosy as it is stylish, making it an excellent base to come home to after a busy day. The private balcony is the icing on the cake – it's the perfect spot to sip morning coffees and evening cocktails as the sun goes down. Everything you need for a relaxed stay is taken care of – there are two stylish bathrooms so nobody needs to wait in line, Netflix on the smart TV if you want to chill at home and a desk if you need to do a bit of work. Cooking is anything but a chore in the sleek kitchen, which has plenty of dinnerware for when you're in the mood to rustle up a meal. Java junkies will also be pleased to see both a Nespresso machine and a cafetiere. Best of all, the location is pretty much perfect. Set in vibrant Kelham Island, there's a wealth of independent eateries, bars, music venues and pubs within walking distance. Plus, the city centre is just a twenty-minute stroll away – trust us, you'll never be short on things to do here.

Are You Mine

You'll be in good company with a stay at this charming cottage fringing Matlock and set within nine acres of English country gardens – the mighty Chatsworth House is just three miles from your door along the River Derwent.

Inside, original beams, stone flanked windows, a crackling fireplace, and an immaculate shaker-style kitchen fill this period home with character and charm. While upstairs, bedrooms boast stunning views of the gardens and rolling hills beyond. But it's that shared indoor swimming pool that's the real clincher here – you didn't expect that from a sleepy village cottage, did you?

Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts in the pretty gardens as you drink up the far-reaching views across the valley towards Bakewell and Haddon Hall. Then break up the morning with a splash about the indoor pool. Shared with just one other cottage, you'll have the place to yourself for two hours at a time, twice a day.

When it's time to get out exploring the Derbyshire Dales, get off to a flying start in the nearby charming village of Rowsley (a five-minute drive) with its traditional pubs for real ales and a warm welcome. And, of course, there's always the stately Chatsworth House (a thirteen-minute drive or two-hour amble along the river) for a turn about the grounds.
