Hillcrest Cottage is a 2 bedroom dog friendly property in Peak District, England
Hillcrest Cottage is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
Deep in Peak District walking territory, this handsome stone cottage is teeming with traditional charm and cosy cottage elements, perfect for couples or small families. It’s located in the old limestone village of Hartington, a Dovedale destination known for its cheese-making. Alongside its artisan cheese shop, the village offers cosy cafés, hearty pubs, and antique shops. Follow a waymarked footpath out of the village to the tree-lined Beresford Dale (1 mile) and Wolfscote Hill (2 miles), or take on the High Peak and Tissington Trails, both within 3 miles. Check out the nearby beauty spot of Thor’s Cave (5.5 miles) before following the Manifold Way along a pretty stream down to Weag’s Bridge (6 miles). In between outdoor adventures, enjoy visiting local towns and villages. Head to the spa town of Buxton isn’t far (11 miles), or see the beautiful Bakewell (9 miles), home to the famous Bakewell tart. Admire the quintessential charm of this stone cottage before entering, resting for a moment on the bench to watch the comings and goings of the village green. Once inside, notice the original features, including wooden beams and ancient doors, lovingly accentuated by floral accents and soft décor. Step into the lounge, a welcoming space with ample seating options, a Smart TV, and a wood burner for when the temperature drops outside. A farmhouse-style kitchen is just next door, furnished with a space-saving drop-leaf dining table that can be used as needed. Completing the ground floor is the bathroom, a room with the option of a shower or bath for soaking in late at night. Take the stairs up to the first floor to find two beautifully decorated bedrooms – one double and one twin. Outside, a grassy seating area is accessible via a few stone steps. It’s an enclosed space with fabulous views of the surrounding fields and features a table and chairs for you to sit and dine alfresco while watching livestock graze. There is private parking for one car.
