Description

Woodpecker Cottage is a superb cottage providing classy accommodation. One of a group of three (left part of the building in the photos), forming part of the former coach house and stables of Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion 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. Its beamed ceilings, stone flagged floors, wood burning stove, luxurious lounge and quality dining kitchen combine with beautiful bedrooms and fantastic en suite bathrooms.

Get up early and spot the woodpeckers and other birds that live in the extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast in the extensive grounds, with a choice of outdoor dining spaces, before exploring the numerous local walks. A wander down the valley will get you to the bustling village with its local shops and great pubs. This is an excellent holiday location within easy reach of Derbyshire's many visitor attractions.

For exciting days out, how about a trip to Castleton's Blue John caverns and castle, Bakewell's famous Monday market, Monsal Trail and waterfalls, Great Hucklow's gliders, Calver's breathtaking views and even Chatsworth House for a very special treat.

Reviews

The cottage in a good location, well equipped, comfortable and we had a really relaxing and enjoyable week. When holidaying with a dog we look for an area with plenty of walks and they had plenty right on the doorstep. The owner was nearby if required and was very amiable. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Mr C,

A beautiful cottage in a great location, liked the additional personal touches to the cottage. Lovely local walks and pubs with great Sunday Roasts.

Mrs J,

Lovely cottage in a great location. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Local village close by with good pubs. The owner provided an extensive folder on the local area including food, walks and amenities, which was very useful. Would highly recommend it.

Mr D,

Beautiful location, cosy cottage, easy to walk from the cottage on some amazing walks, good local pubs. Very happy with the cottage and would visit again.

Mrs G,

Woodpecker cottage is well equipped, clean and tidy. It is also in a good location for visiting most of the attractions in the Peak District. You can also walk locally should you so wish, there are two good public houses within easy walking reach. The owners are very friendly and ‘on-site’, but not intrusive, so if you did have a problem I am sure they would very happy to help.

Mr W,

Ive been lucky over the years finding great places to stay. Woodpecker cottage at Eccles lane was another great find. Totally recommend.

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
