About this property

A cosy annexe to the owner’s own home, this stone-built cottage is situated close to the centre of the charming village of Great Longstone, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. This lovely cottage is self-contained and makes an ideal base for cyclists, walkers or a family visiting this area of natural outstanding beauty. Comfortable and well-equipped, it features two lovely bedrooms and a large shower room. The spacious open plan living area features a modern kitchen with dining table and a warm and cosy sitting area. The floor-to-ceiling window provides lots of light, making this an ideal sociable space to enjoy some delicious home-cooking and relaxation at the end of a busy day. Outside, a delightful patio area with water feature provides a lovely spot for a relaxing drink or perhaps some alfresco dining under the covered veranda which is a perfect escape from any showers while still enjoying the fresh air. Great Longstone is an attractive limestone village set around a pretty village green. There are two olde-worlde pubs, which offer good pub food and real ales, where you can enjoy a bite to eat and rest your walking legs with a well-earned drink at the end of the day. The spectacular Monsal Trail, an 8.5 mile former railway line, now a traffic free track for cyclists or walkers taking in the stunning surrounding countryside, is just on your doorstep. The lovely market town of Bakewell is a short drive away or you could walk or cycle via the Monsal Trail. Historic houses including Chatsworth house, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall are just a short car journey away, making this cosy holiday home a lovely retreat at any time of the year.

The pretty Derbyshire village of Great Longstone is situated in a wonderful position in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Great Longstone is nestled in an enviable position, flanked by Longstone Edge, with Bakewell just four miles away and Chatsworth House close by. The village offers two pubs, 18th century stone cottages and a market cross that is situated on the village green, plus the Monsal Trail runs through the village and provides eight and a half miles of traffic-free walking and cycling.

    It is a beautiful cottage, cosy and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything visitors could want and are friendly should you need any help. The nearby pub does excellent food and provides a friendly welcome. All in all it's a wonderful place to stay.

    We were delighted to discover the very welcome cream scones and all the extra provisions on arrival - thank you so much Sylvia! The village is in a great location with many places of interest to visit nearby and of course the scenery is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend.
