Accessibility Guide for Hayloft Cottage

Welcome

Imagine enjoying peace and quiet in one of our Peak District holiday cottages. Looking out over uninterrupted views from a large, south facing picture window, you can sit and watch the world go by. You can relax in front of the wood-burning stove, spend time with family and friends or simply catch-up with some reading.

Put your walking boots on and explore the surrounding countryside without having to drive. Take a walk to nearby Chelmorton, Sheldon or Monyash for a satisfying pub lunch.

The cottage is ideally located between Buxton and Bakewell, just 10 miles from Chatsworth House. Being very central makes all the main Peak District attractions very easy to get to.
