About this property
The unspoilt village of Warslow is located in the Peak District, with moorlands and woodlands just a little under a mile away and the Manifold Walk is just over a mile from the door. There is an 18th Century Coaching Inn that offers good food and real ale just 100 metres from the cottage. If you venture to the top of the village, then you will be rewarded with the incredible views of Ecton Hill and the beautiful valleys that surround this village. Thor’s Cave is just a little over 3 miles away and offers an adventurous exploration inside the natural cavern set in a steep limestone crag in the Peak District.

The cottage is lovely, perfect location for going off and exploring, lots of nice pubs nearby, would especially recommend the Devonshire Arms in Hartington. The cottage is lovely and cosy, has everything that you need to enjoy your stay. The welcome box was a very nice touch, lovely views from the cottage as well. The neighbourhood cats are also very friendly!
