About this property
A lovely little 'hide-a-way' cottage in an 'out of this world' location on the edge of Crowdecote with its great village pub.
Nestled up on the side of Dovedale, in the tiny hamlet of Crowdecote, is the unique cottage - The Potting Shed. This is an excellent base for couples looking to really get out there in the outdoors and explore. The Potting Shed is compact, yet bright and airy and has everything you need for a great stay. The views from the cottage are outstanding, looking across the valley, so make sure you witness at least one sunrise or sunset during your stay!
Put your walking boots on and ramble through the Peak District on one of the many footpaths radiating from the cottage. Head up the Upper Dove Dale Valley and enjoy a walk from Crowdecote to Pilsbury Castle. You’ll find the village of Longnor nearby, a great place to grab a bite to eat or visit the local craft centre. A short drive away is Buxton, with its amazing Opera House and beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture and the famous market town of Bakewell. .

A well presented and maintained cottage ideal for a couple on a short stay basis. Close to a steep hill so take care when pulling in or out. Helpful owners.

A very small but compact and well equipped cottage in the beautiful countryside with some amazing views. We received a welcome pack on arrival which was most thoughtful and welcome. I always take a supply of hand wash, cling film, fairy liquid, foil etc etc and toiletries but all of this was provided. There were a variety of pubs and eateries, the closest of these being a five minute stroll down the hill, The Pack Horse. The food there was good and reasonably priced so too was the drinks. We also ate at the Cheshire Cheese in Longnor and here too both the food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. There's lots of wonderful places to visit in the area and we enjoyed the lovely Peak district scenery. The owners were available for any queries but left us in privacy.
