Description
Undercroft Cottage is a cosy and comfortable cottage carefully restored to create a lovely holiday retreat. Its lounge gathered around the glowing multi-fuel stove and there is a well equipped kitchen, attractive bedrooms, one en suite, super bathroom and wonderful garden make it a fantastic base for exploring the Peak District whether you are here for a walking, cycling or sightseeing holiday.
Foolow is a quiet little village snuggled up under the dramatic Hucklow Edge and surrounded by beautiful rolling Peak District countryside. Undercroft is in a jumble of stone cottages that make up the village and is just a stone's throw from the super duck pond.
You will perhaps be tempted just to laze around the cottage having breakfast in the wonderful garden but all the Peak District's attractions - from Chatsworth House and the Derwent Valley Dams to the National Tramway Museum and Matlock Bath's cable cars - are there for you to visit if you go exploring.
There is an extensive landscaped rear garden, fully enclosed by stone wall, with summerhouse and plenty of garden furniture in different areas. There is a small patio area with table and chairs outside the back door, then a flight of steep stone steps up to the main garden area, with comfortable garden furniture in the summer house and a bistro table and chairs in a quiet corner for a quiet drink or supervising children at play.
Easy parking is available on the quiet lane right outside.
INSIDE THE PROPERTY:
A cosy beamed living room with leather seating, TV, DVD player, WiFi and glowing coal/log burning stove in the gritstone fireplace; dining area with extending oak dining table and chairs.

Location
FOOLOW AND GREAT HUCKLOW
Foolow and Great Hucklow are peaceful little villages, in the midst of the Peak District National Park and set under the dramatic Great Hucklow Edge. Jumbles of stone cottages make them really picturesque against the backdrop of lovely rolling countryside. The Bull Inn in Foolow and the Queen Anne Inn in Great Hucklow will always give you a warm welcome and Foolow has the added attraction of the lovely village duck pond with its white ducks.
There is lots to do and see in the local area. Just down the lane is Eyam with all its Plague history. As close in the opposite direction is Tideswell with its Cathedral of the Peaks church and High Nelly’s super café – the Welsh Rarebits are to die for! You must also go to the Barrel Inn at Bretton high up on the Edge. – the food is great and the views are just incredible. Save a bit of time to explore Stoney Middleton that has got a great fish and chip shop, the well-known Curry Cottage Indian restaurant and the Moon Inn. The Blind Bull Inn in Little Hucklow is another must with its growing reputation for lovely food.
If you hang up your walking boots and jump in the car there are visitor attractions galore within a 20-minute drive. Castleton has its spooky Blue John caverns. Buxton is famed for its Crescent and Opera House. Bakewell is home to the famous Bakewell Pudding (not a Bakewell Tart). Chatsworth House and Gardens is a majestic stately home. Haddon Hall is more homely and our own favourite. Imagine you are a ‘Dambuster’ practicing dropping the Bouncing Bomb over the Derwent Valley Dams.
Local pubs: The Bull Inn in Foolow. The Queen Anne Inn in Great Hucklow. The Blind Bull in Little Hucklow.
