Description

Knoll Cottage is a spacious traditional stone cottage in a wonderful location, clinging to the side of beautiful Bradford Dale at the quieter end of picturesque Youlgreave, with wonderful views over the wooded hillsides. The cottage is comfortably furnished, with beamed ceilings and clean, white decor, panelled doors and stripped wood floors, and glowing log burning stove.

Sit on the sunny patio and soak up the silence as the mist floats up through the trees and the valley comes awake. Wander along to the little village shops to buy your newspaper, eggs and bacon for breakfast or a picnic lunch for later. A stroll down the Dale (the public footpath runs directly in front of the cottage) will be next to spot the kingfishers in the river before setting off again to explore the rest of the Peak District.

With those wider horizons you might fancy nearby Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Bakewell. Or Caudwell's heritage and craft centre, Carsington's water sports, Crich's fantastic tramway and Castleton's Blue John caverns. 

DOWNSTAIRS:

Lounge with a large corner sofa, TV, DVD player and WiFi.

Dining Room with additional sofa, wood burning stove, circular pine dining table, chairs and large dresser, small TV and understairs storage cupboard.

Kitchen fitted with traditional pine kitchen units, electric cooker and microwave; adjacent Utility Room with fridge freezer and washer/dryer.

Cloakroom off the utility room, with WC and basin.

There is a painted steep staircase leading upstairs; please note that the bottom step is deeper than the others.

UPSTAIRS:

Bedroom 1 with pine double bed, antique wardrobe and chest of drawers, and a feature fireplace.

Bedroom 2 with single bed, chest of drawers and clothes hanging rail; there is also a pull-out single for additional occupant, if required, but use of this does greatly restrict space.

Bedroom 3 with pine twin beds, wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Family Bathroom with bath, electric shower over the bath, WC and basin.

OUTSIDE:

South facing patio with garden furniture, parasol and large barbecue. Steeply terraced gardens to the front of the cottage are fenced and gated; these can be accessed, but at guests’ own risk. Handrails are provided, but rough paths and uneven stone steps, unprotected drops and low stone walls make the gardens unsuitable for toddlers, young children or anyone with infirmities. Please note that the public footpath, a right of way, runs directly in front of the cottage down into the dale.

Parking is on the village street at the top of the steep footpath down to the cottage or in the little local car park just along the road.

 

Linen and towels are provided.

Central heating, power and an initial supply of fuel for the stove are included.

One dog is welcome.

Smoking is not permitted.

Nearest pub  -  Youlgreave  200 yds.  Nearest village shop  -  Youlgreave  600 yds.  Nearest supermarket  -  Bakewell  3 miles.

Reviews

I would highly recommend this cottage. The setting was perfect with beautiful views, really friendly village and Great walks. Made for a really special holiday.

Ms W,

Lovely Cottage very homey in a fantastic location

Mrs F,

A very quiet cottage with beautiful views. Lovely location for walking and only a couple of minutes from nearby pubs.

Previous Customer,

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Nice that it's positioned off the main road, but access is down a steep path so not suitable for everyone. Cottage was well equipped and clean, a very comfortable base for our week in the Peak District.

Mr G,

Had a lovely stay at Knoll cottage, very comfortable, with all amenities, great view out front and ideal for traveling around the Peaks. Within walking distance of local pubs and local store which stocked most essentials. Access to cottage from road is by an inclined path, but once you have transferred your belongings in it's not a problem.

Mr S,

An absolutely lovely area down a short (quite steep) path. It’s like you are in the trees due to the position on the hill side and is fab to eat breakfast out in the patio. Good facilities close to pubs and village shop, Worth experiencing.

Mr S,

Nice quiet location. Great for exploring the dales. Basic but everything you need.

Mr C,

We had problems flushing the toilet on numerous occasions. Also there was no enclosed grassy area for our dog. Otherwise all good.

Mrs W,

The holiday cottage was in a good location and well equipped kitchen; plenty of space inside. But you should be mindful that entry is down a very steep slope so not good for anyone with mobility issues. The only negatives were that there was no BBQ as advertised, the shed for bikes was locked, the emergency contact had no contact details.

Mr B,

Lovely location with beautiful walks nearby.

Mrs C,

Nice short stay in this cosy cottage. The footpath down to the river runs directly in front of the house, and the river downstream and especially upstream is beautiful. We saw a dipper which was a bonus. You can't hear anything from the cottage other than the river and birds. The village is a good hub to explore the Peak District from, with 3 pubs that we found, and a nice coffee shop in the YHA, bakery and post office/shop. Very steep path down to the cottage which wasn't a problem for us but may be worth bearing in mind if there are any mobility issues. The wood burner was a bonus and warmed the dining room area up quickly.

Mrs W,

A very comfortable delightful cottage

Mrs F,

Location

YOULGREAVE

The beautiful village of Youlgreave stands high above Bradford Dale and Lathkill Dale with the clear, sparkling rivers running through the valleys below.  The wide banks of the River Bradford are a perfect spot for a picnic.  Or walk south-east to the gritstone outcrop of Robin Hood’s Stride and on to Stanton Moor, a designated Scheduled Ancient Monument featuring more than 70 barrows and 4 stone circles, the best known of which is Nine Ladies.  Youlgreave is truly situated in an ancient landscape.  Three miles west of the village is Arbor Low, one of the largest Neolithic henges in England. 

Today, Youlgreave is a bustling, popular village with a range of shops, cafes, a post office and pubs.

Nearby is Bakewell, the main tourist town of the Peak District with its Bakewell Puddings made to a secret recipe.  It’s also just a short drive to magnificent Chatsworth House or the more homely Haddon Hall. Don’t forget to visit Caudwell’s water powered flour mill with its vegetarian café and craft shop or the award-winning Chatsworth Farm Shop.

Local Pubs: The Bulls Head, Youlgreave.  The Farmyard Inn, Youlgreave
