Description

Curlew Cottage is an extremely spacious and comfortable cottage for two, lovingly created out of a mellow stone barn. Indulge yourselves in somewhere just a little bit different! The cottage's quality interior sets it apart and is reflected in its recent Visit England Gold Award. Luxurious fittings highlight the owners' attention to detail. But it's the lovely setting in Windmill, a sleepy little hamlet under the dramatic Hucklow Edge, which really makes it special; the local stone cottages and quiet lanes are surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.

This is the world famous landscape of the Peak District National Park. Climb to the top of the Edge, have a pint in a local inn and gasp in wonder at the incredible views. Explore the local lanes and perhaps find the intriguing 'plague' village of Eyam.

In the very heart of the Peak District, with all Derbyshire's attractions like Chatsworth, Bakewell and Buxton nearby, there are few better places for your holiday. Wherever you go each day, get back in time for a last glass of wine on the patio, gazing at the night sky brimming over with stars.

Living Room: a spacious room with wood burning stove, beamed ceiling, super lighting, luxurious seating, dining table and chairs, Freeview TV, DVD player and WiFi.

Reviews

If you want a small cottage for 2 max nowhere in particular surrounded by the Derbyshire Dales, this is the cottage for you. We had horrid weather (it was December!) but still had to walk out with the dog. Cottage was comfortable but has electric storage heaters with a wood burner for chilly evenings. This might not suit everyone.

Mrs M,

We’ve really enjoyed our stay at Curlew Cottage! Lovely and spacious and in a super location for walking and meals out. Sunday lunch at the Queen Anne Inn was wonderful. The service and standard of food (as well as the fabulous views) from the Barrel Inn at Bretton were excellent. We will definitely look at returning in the not too distant future. (Archie gives his “paws up” for his 1st holiday) Many thanks.

Couple with d,

Thank you both for the warm welcome and the use of your lovely cottage. A brilliant location- so much to discover- our favourites being Chatsworth, Eyam and Litton Mill. Lots of lovely pubs to enjoy too! See you again.

Previous Customer,

A lovely, comfortable and very clean cottage. We had amazingly good weather and did plenty of walking in the beautiful hills. Thank you.

Previous Customer,

We have enjoyed our stay at the lovely Curlew Cottage. What a great location to enjoy all the wonderful walks and villages in the Peak District. Enjoyed great food at the Bulls Head in Foolow and would highly recommend. Thank you Abi and Russell.

Previous Customer,

Back again. 6th visit cannot keep away. The weather has been kind to us once more. The walking and the scenic views cannot be beaten. I can only repeat what I have said before about Abi and Russell and Curlew, the best hosting and accommodation we have ever stayed in, everything we need for a wonderful holiday is here and we are looking forward to coming again in the Spring. Thank you from us.

Previous Customer,

Had a lovely stay at the cottage. Everything we required was here. Such a beautiful area that we greatly enjoyed, visiting little villages and then towns of Bakewell and Buxton. We would like to return to Curlew Cottage and the Peak District. Thank you Abi & Russell.

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.
