Tucked into the quiet village of Sheldon, this centuries-old stone cottage is a proper Peak District retreat. Inside, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove in the sitting room set the tone for evenings in – and after a day on the moors, a roll-top bathtub awaits. The Monsal Trail is nearby for walking and cycling, Chatsworth House is a ten-minute drive, and a traditional village pub is a short stroll away. Bakewell, with its markets and independent shops, is just 3 miles down the road – perfect for exploring.
