Designated a National Park in 1951, the Peak District is an upland area in middle-England, boasting wide history, scenic vistas and wonderful seclusion, whilst remaining very accessible. The Peak District’s location has contributed to its popularity. Close to Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield; the Peak District offers a great destination, whether for a weekend or longer, and is a perfect site for our luxury cottages.
Famous for the incredible walking trails which traverse the highlands; the Peak District offers every type of scenery from mountainous hills, rolling pasture or beautiful lakesides. One of the UK’s most-walked trails begins in the Peak District – The Pennine Way begins in Edale, stretching up the backbone of England, all the way to Scotland.
The Peak District seems to have a magical place in the hearts of the English. From Beatrix Potter to Wordsworth and Jane Eyre, the Peak District is the setting for many English treasures. Why not find out why the Peak District holds this vaunted place by booking our luxury cottages in the Southern Peak District?
However, it’s not all tea and scones! Eyam was the first village in England to be infected by the Plague. Offering a macabre day out, with some incredible history.

Our cottages are aimed to create the best possible experience for you, your family, your pet, or your loved ones. Here are just two of our cottages that we believe encapsulate what we have to offer:
