Description

Nuthatch Cottage is a superb cottage providing really classy accommodation. Its beamed ceilings, stone flagged floors, glowing log burning stove, luxurious lounge and quality dining kitchen combine with beautiful bedrooms and fantastic en-suite bathrooms. The cottage is one of a group of three created from the former coach house to 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.

Get up early and spot the sleek Nuthatches and other birds that live in the House's extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast al fresco before exploring the numerous local walks. A wander 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 Blue John caverns, Peveril's  castle, Bakewell's famous Monday market, Buxton's exciting go-carts, Gt Hucklow's gliders, Peak Rail's steam trains or Chatsworth House with its gardens, farmyard and adventure playground.

Reviews

Well equipped, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location

Mr H,

Ideal place to stay for access to local walks. Kinder Scout. Mam Tor etc

Mr K,

Fantastic cottage in an excellent location to Chinley village where there are a selection of pubs, shops and take always. Great walks right out the door, no need to drive. Cottage was very comfortable and had everything you need for a relaxing break.

Mr A,

The cottage has an excellent location with good walks and pubs in the village. It is very dog friendly. The owner is very attentive and helpful.

Mrs B,

Lovely set up, three cottages in a courtyard with plenty of free parking. The cottage was clean and well equipped, the beds comfortable. Fresh farm eggs and a bottle of Red left for our enjoyment. Although rural the walk into nearby Chinley takes less than 15 minutes, a torch is handy if going out after dark, and wear something reflective, not much traffic as only a single track but safety comes first. Would definitely recommend, absolutely beautiful area with plenty to see and do even if you're not much of a walker.

mrs W,

Great cottage, very well thought out with all the equipment you need, fresh eggs and welcome treats for the dogs too! We had the best time there!

Mrs H,

Lovely cottage...Great views from bedrooms ...well equipped...nice garden to relax in

Mrs E,

It was very nice to have a fresh bunch of flowers, bottle of wine and treats for the dogs on arrival. The Cottage was very clean, well presented, fully equipped and the dishwasher was a welcome bonus. The ‘information book’ was invaluable that helped us enjoy our days out during our stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back or recommend to our friends.

Mr L,

A beautiful cottage in a perfect location .Very clean and comfortable .

Mrs D,

Nuthatch was delightful, well appointed & warm. The location is good, convenient for some good walks and a couple of lovely places, nearby, to eat.

Mrs S,

Beautiful cottage, clean and welcoming. Had a really peaceful and relaxing time. Would go again in the future.

Miss S,

We had a good stay at this cottage the surrounding locality was good for walking on Kinder and other Peaks such as Snake Pass and the B29 Bomber walk. The local pubs a short walk away were very good as was the food. The only issue we had was in the mattresses were very uncomfortable other than this we were very impressed when there was an issue with the kettle, this was fixed while we were out.

Mr T,

Absolutely beautiful property, very clean and everything thought of. Nice local pub which did gluten free pizza at the weekend and straight out the door to do a walk up to Eccles Pike. Highly recommend

Mr R,

The cottage is warm, cosy, well equipped and perfectly located.

Mr A,

10/10 Would recommend this wonderful little haven!! Vicki could not have been more helpful.

Ms H,

I can't speak highly enough of The Nuthatch. Easy booking, and lovely hosts who couldn't have been more accommodating. A beautiful, warm and cosy cottage which was sparkling clean and very well equipped. Well located for all the Peak District attractions, and Manchester. If we're up that way, I'd definitely choose to stay at The Nuthatch again.

Ms C,

lovely cosy property, down a quite lane surrounded by beautiful countryside: nice welcome gifts and basket of logs. Good walks from the door. details in welcome book. We had a short break with friends; the fact that both bedrooms had en-suite facilities and were of similar size with double beds was a great plus. Since acquiring the house and barns the owners have obviously worked hard to restore and develop the site. Great location for visiting the high peak.

Mr U,

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
