Adjoining the owner's farmhouse in the tiny rural hamlet of Ollerbrook is this charming cottage, a stone-built single-storey property. Situated on a working hill farm, this lovely cottage is approached by a farm lane and is situated just 10 minutes walk from the village of Edale.

With a cosy living room, a fitted kitchen, dining area and an electric wood-burning-stove effect stove, this lovely property is great for either winter evenings by the fire or summer afternoons on the patio. The cottage has been comfortably furnished and is well placed amidst superb, unspoiled views of the surrounding hills and valley.

About the Peak District

The ultimate in “year-round” appeal, the Peak District offers moorland countryside, picturesque villages, grand gardens and magnificent scenery. Britain’s first National Park, today the boundary of the Peak District National Park touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, rolling valleys and wooded dales.

Boasting striking variations in scenery, the sombre gritstone horseshoe, known as the ‘Dark Peak’, encircles the pearly-grey ‘White Peak’ limestone of the Park’s southern and central areas. Such variety makes the Peak District a perfect destination for walkers and climbers. Enjoy anything from a gentle stroll through the ‘White Peak’ dales, to a full-scale hike across the ‘Dark Peak’s’ forbidding, windswept moors or, if so inclined, a challenging climb up a gritstone rock face. There’s also an excellent network of ‘Trails’ running through the Park connecting many attractions and places of interest, created from disused railway lines.

For a day of history and elegance there’s beautiful Chatsworth House, where Capability Brown designed and landscaped the spectacular gardens in the 1760s. A visit to the lovely spa town of Buxton, home to St Anne’s Well, a public drinking fountain and source of the famous mineral water, is also a must. The Peak District’s many hospitable and picturesque villages such as Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock Bath still practice a range of ancient customs and traditions, including the ‘Well Dressings’ festival in the summertime. Below ground, a world of caverns and caves are waiting to be explored. Well-known to cavers and pot-holers, this subterranean side of the Peak District offers visitors a fascinating array of guided trips around the amazing and quite spectacular caverns and disused marble and stone mines – visit Peak Cavern or Blue John Cavern, or join a magical boat tour of Speedwell’s flooded passages.
