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.

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
