The village of Hope offers great amenities for guests of the cottage, including groceries, a railway station and a post office. Of course there is also a local village pub, The Cheshire Cheese Inn for resting those aching legs after traversing the Pennine Way. For those seeking a gentler walk, the nearby Hope Valley offers various walks through its pretty landscape. The River Noe runs along the boundary of the property and provides wonderfully tranquil walks along the riverbanks.
