About this property
A charming stone terrace cottage, located in the heart of the village of Hartington, a stone's throw from Dove Valley in the glorious Peak District. A lovely garden sits at the front of the house, overlooking the marketplace, with a few pubs located right on the doorstep. This is the ideal spot for families and friends who wish to spend time together in one of the most pleasant villages in the area. The cottage is set over three floors with very traditional, vintage characteristics. There are three cosy bedrooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms, one of the second floor bedrooms also has a dressing room. The twin room is on the third floor with light streaming in from the skylight above. Head to the dining area where an old Rangemaster is on display, leading to the fully-equipped kitchen area and outside to the delightful back garden. Relax on the comfy sofa in the sitting room and light the stove during the colder months, or simply look out onto the front lawn and local market. The beautiful village of Hartington offers some of the very best walking trails to be explored. Just South of Hartington is Wolfscote Hill, a great spot for picturesque countryside views. About seven miles away is Hadden Hall, a medieval and Tudor manor house and a popular location choice for various film and TV broadcasts, complete with a restaurant and gift shop. These are just a couple of the many places to venture to in the surrounding area of this quaint, heart-warming home-from-home.
Hartington, situated in the Dove Valley in the Peak District National Park, was an important market centre in the Middle Ages, having been granted a market charter in 1203. Today the village boasts lovely tea rooms, a cheese shop, old curiosity shops, traditional pubs and a splendid market square. The local bars stock local ales brewed at the Leatherbritches Brewery in Fenny Bentley and Whim Ales in Hartington itself.

We loved the location and the cottage itself was clean and well-equipped with a home from home kitchen. The only slight negative, the property was extremely cold on arrival (15.50) and took some hours to heat upstairs in particular. Having said that we are looking to book next year so it didn't put us off!! A note for guests, the front room is a cooler room and we felt it needed the open fire to make it warm and cosy. There's one small basket of logs provided by the owners for the first evening. We found a great log shop on the right going into Buxton past the Tesco garage, logs £8 per biggish bag open Weds PM - Sat lunch. The shops in the village also sell logs but more costly and smaller bags. We contacted the owners who went above and beyond to accommodate our request to stay *(chargeable) 2 extra nights as it was low-season and the cottage was not let until the following Friday. We cannot wait to visit again. Thank you.
