Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in the Peak District National Park, England, UK

High quality vacation rental accommodation in a beautiful area of England.

At Cotterill Farm we have five award-winning non-smoking and pet-free holiday cottages for rental as self-catering (vacation rental) accommodation.  We have out of the blue just received notification that we have achieved the Gold Award, a new classification by Enjoy England, the country’s official grading organisation, one of only 10 deemed to ‘provide exceptional quality in all areas but in particular in service’ from over 1,000 inspected holiday properties in Derbyshire and the Peak District. 

Three cottages are for four person occupancy, one, a new barn conversion all on the ground floor is for three person occupancy and one, a particularly spacious one is for two person occupancy. 

One of the four person cottages has two double bedrooms, making it particularly suited for two couples. Three cottages have full Sky programmes  (and ESPN - yet another sports subscription channell) and all but one has wi-fi internet. access

The cottages are superbly situated very close to the beautiful valley of Dovedale in a lovely part of the Peak District National Park, between the highly acclaimed village of Hartington and its smaller neighbour, Biggin-by-Hartington. Cotterill Farm is mainly surrounded by a nature reserve through which a footpath leads on its way down to the River Dove.

We are extremely well placed for most of the major tourist attractions of the area, such as Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Castleton Caverns, the Dove and Manifold Valleys, plus the attractive local towns of Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Leek. There is excellent walking and cycling from the doorstep. 80 yards from the end of our drive  is a superb well surfaced bridleway with excellent views which can be used for walking over to the honey pot village of Hartington - can be walked in ordinary shoes and takes just 20 minutes.  Sustrans Route 54 passes 50 yards  from the end of our drive,  and there are 3 cycle trails of average 15 miles length within 3 miles (one within one mile).

Allthough most of our bookings between March and October, start on a saturday and are for a week long duration, we also take short breaks and bookings that start on days other than a saturday.

We also have three cottages, managed by our daughter, in the centre of the nearby village of Hartington. See our website at : www.hartingtoncottages.co.uk for further details.
