Guests are very satisfied with the comfort provided by the cottage, particularly noting the soft and comfortable beds, cosy living spaces, and the warmth of the Aga in the kitchen.
The cottage is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, and overall high standard of facilities. However, a few guests noted the absence of a washing machine and the challenges of cooking with an Aga, slightly impacting the score.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the welcome hampers provided, which include local treats and essentials. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such offerings are subject to change and not guaranteed.
Nestled in the heart of the Peak District National Park in the small village of Tideswell, sits this impressive cottage, Billy Whiskey's. Enjoying a blend of rustic and contemporary features, this historic property is a former shop dating back to 1729, and takes its name from the first shop keeper, Billy Whiskey. The property has been thoughtfully renovated and now offers families and friends a pet-friendly dwelling and wonderful base to explore the countryside. Leave your vehicle in a roadside space before making your way inside to discover the shaker-style kitchen, with an AGA cooker to whip up heart-warming meals. There's also a sitting area with a cushioned sofa and wall-mounted TV to relax with a cold beverage whilst dinner is cooking. Adjacent, you will find the dining room with an exposed stone wall and beams; here you can gather together for meals and enjoy a pack of cards for some family fun. Climb upstairs to the first floor to unwind in the sitting room, where a woodburning stove gently heats the space as you relish a glass of wine. The first floor leads out onto the rear garden, so why not carry the conversation onto the outdoor decking, as your furry friend stretches out in front of you? As day draws to night, retire inside and sink into the tub for a bubble-bath, as the Velux window reveals the night sky. Next door, is the master bedroom, hosting a king-size bed and to discover two more bedrooms, venture to the second floor for another king-size and a twin bedroom, serviced by a shower room. In the morning, awaken tired eyes with a steaming cup of coffee in the garden, ready for a day of exploring. Just paces away is the local pub, The Star Inn, where you can sample real ales and home-cooked meals, or pop into the convenience store for your own ingredients. Jump in the car to visit local attractions, including Eyam Museum to learn about the Plague, stroll along the wonderful Water-Cum-Jolly Dale and test your stamina on an incline walk up Mam Tor. Visit the Spa town of Buxton; here you can enjoy live entertainment at the grand Buxton Opera House, if that's not for you, delve underground into the two-million-year-old Poole's Cavern & Buxton Country Park. Also, within easy reach and worth a trip, is the town of Bakewell to taste the renowned Bakewell Tart at a café or tour the stately home of Chatsworth House. To treat the ones who mean the most, stay at Billy Whiskey's.
Tideswell is a small town located in the Peak District National Park. The community is notable for its well dressing and carnival wakes, as well as its splendid church dedicated to St John the Baptist, nicknamed as "The Cathedral of the Peak." With rocky peaks to the north, mild slopes and dales to the south, and Millers Dale close outside the settlement, there is good walking. Mam Tor and Castleton are just a few miles distant, while Buxton, a prominent spa town, is only a 15-minute drive away.
