Description

Kestrel Cottage is a superb cottage, one of a group of three forming the old coach house and stables for Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion, situated at the end of a quiet country lane with super views across the valley and a cauldron of Peak District hills as a magnificent backdrop. Kestrel Cottage retains high glazed entrance doors, where the original coach house doors were situated, as well as beamed ceilings and stone flagged floors. The cottage has a lovely living room with wood burning stove, a quality kitchen, two beautiful bedrooms and a fantastic bathroom.

Get up early and spot the Kestrels and other birds that live in the House's extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast on the patio before exploring the numerous local footpaths. A walk down into the valley will get you to the bustling village with its local shops and great pubs. This is an absolutely brilliant holiday location within easy reach of Derbyshire's myriad of visitor attractions.

For exciting days out how about a trip to Castleton's spooky Blue John caverns, Peveril's 'storm the battlements' castle, Chapel's owl and otter sanctuary, Buxton's amazing Dome, the 'Dambuster'Dams, Kinder's wild moorlands, Haddon's romantic hall and even famous Chatsworth House.

Reviews

We arrived after a long journey. The lamps were on . Classic FM playing. Eggs . Flowers and wine . Even dog treats . We had a relaxing time . The cottage is warm and cosy . The bath is fantastic. We would come back again

Mr D,

Delightful, cosy, well appointed and great location - everything you'd want in a holiday cottage in the Peak District. Definately recommended!

Mr J,

We arrived very late at the cottage (22:30) and the owners had prepared the property very welcoming. There were flowers, wine, eggs and dog treats - Thank you The cottage was very clean and nicely decorated. The rooms are arranged over four levels! I personally wished I had checked the location better. We live close to the M20 and depending on the weather it is either very quiet or very noisy from the traffic. We found the same at the cottage with the close proximity of the A6. We found the matress very uncomfortable and therefore didn't sleep very well. The pictures are very misleading. The outdoor area is all shared between the tree cottages. If they are all full there will be cars parked right outside Kestrel Cottage. The area was quite nice. Great view from the top of Eccles Pike. We had a lovely walk to Waley Bridge and back along the canal. We loved the Little Mill Pub at Rowarth which has lovely walks. We were very unfortunate with the weather, but the cottage was warm and comfortable, although a little dark. Overall, we wouldn't return - mainly because of the closeness to the A6 (see above)

Mrs S,

We had a great stay, the house was warm and inviting and the owners had thought of absolutely everything. The under floor heating and log burner were amazing after a walk across Eccles pike. The children had an amazing time exploring the area and enjoyed the amazing roll top bath. The history of Eccles House fascinated us too. We loved our long weekend in Kestrel cottage and can't wait to come back with our dogs next time.

Mrs H,

This was by far the most fantastic cottage we have ever stayed in! Everything had been carefully thought out by the owner. The welcome gift of fresh eggs, wine and flowers was so lovely. The history of the renovations provided in the handbook was very interesting too. It reminded me of staying in a Landmark Trust property. I will recommend it to everyone!

Mrs T,

The property had everything that you would need I would imagine it would be a bit small for four adults though but so good that they now allow up to three dogs as it was just me and my daughter plus three dogs we found it was perfect will be booking again for next year

Miss C,

Lovely quiet cottage with lovely gardens. Well equipped kitchen and big bathroom. Would suggest bins in the bedrooms. Great walks for dogs within a couple of minutes walk. If you're bringing dogs please note there are no private gardens for each cottage and the gate to the road is left open .

Mrs T,

The cottage was really clean and comfortable and the smell of freshly laundered towels and bedding was noticeable. Fresh flowers, eggs and wine were also provided as welcome gifts. The location of the cottage along a quiet track meant that there was no traffic noise yet two excellent local pubs and an excellent coffee shop were within a 5 minute drive. The location was within easy access of all the major Peak District attractions.

Mrs E,

Ons of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Located perfectly to explore locally with fantastic walks & pubs close by. Host were fantastic. I almost don't want to tell the world how good it was so I can keep it to myself!!

Mrs A,

Will telephone and discuss

Miss N,

Kestrel Cottage was a perfect getaway for us! The little touches such as doggy treats and human treats on arrival made a huge difference! The Cottage had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the bath was amazing after walking up Eccles Pike. The log burner made us feel very cosy in the evening! Perfectly located for exploring bakewell buxton and edale! We found the owners really kind and helpful especially the visitors information book!!!

Mrs S,

We stayed at Kestrel Cottage with our 20 month old daughter and our dog. We all enjoyed our stay, the cottage was ideal for us. Had plenty of space, all the facilities we needed. Great location too. Would definitely come back.

Mr R,

Location

CHINLEY

Chinley is a large village surrounded by dramatic Dark Peak countryside views taking in acres of moorland.  Originally part of the Royal Forest of the Peak, Chinley came into its own when the railway was introduced in 1867.  Chinley still has easy rail access to both Sheffield and Manchester, ideal for a day out. 

Closer to home is the town of Castleton, home to the famous Derbyshire Blue John stone, where you can visit the caverns where it has been mined for generations and perhaps take home a piece of jewellery as a gift or souvenir. 

Also nearby is Kinder Scout, the highest point of the Peak District at 636m above sea level.  It is accessible from the pretty villages of Hayfield and Edale but the summit is for serious hikers only and be aware of the local weather forecast before setting out.  Kinder Scout was the setting of the 1932 Mass Trespass which paved the way for the establishment of National Parks, long-distance footpaths and walkers’ rights to roam on common land. 

As you would expect from a large village, Chinley has a good range of shops and eateries and is the ideal place to base yourself for Peak District walks and outdoor activities.

Local Pubs: The Old Hall Inn, Whitehough.  The Lamb Inn, Chinley
