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

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,

We enjoyed a lovely weekend staying at Kestrel Cottage. With Eccles Pike right on the doorstep and so many Peak District attractions so close it was set in a great location. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped.

Mrs L,

Great place to stay. Both accommodation and location. All 4 of us loved our holiday. One point I think would be of help. Wall mounted toilet roll holders should be fitted to both bathroom and separate toilet. The existing fitments are for storage and not for dispensing. The toilet paper on these devices can end up on the floor. Not good.

Mr Peter K,

Enjoyable holiday. Great accommodation. Lovely area.

Mrs Alison D,

Very high end accommodation and equipment, especially in the kitchen. All rooms clean to a high standard.

Ms Jude T,

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
