This lovely cottage (one of two adjoining the owners' impressive farmhouse) has been created out of an old barn and is set in the small village of Taddington, one of England’s highest at over 1,000 metres above sea level, with quaint cottages, farmhouses, a church and a pub. The Limestone Way is just one of many walking routes that pass through the village, and the remains of the Five Wells chambered cairn, thought to be the highest megalithic tomb in Britain, is set just west of the village. Taddington is between historic Buxton (9 miles) which has thermal springs and a magnificent opera house, and the market town of Bakewell (7 miles), home of the famous pudding and a scenic destination in its own right.
The quaint interior of the cottage showcases original features such as the stone flagged floor and ceiling beams as well as lovely wooden doors and quality furnishings. The spacious lounge has a leather sofa and flame-effect electric fire as well as a TV, and the adjoining kitchen has views across the fields and a pine table and chairs. An open staircase leads up to the bedroom, the showpiece of the house, which has a king-sized bed, a sofa, a TV and more lovely views. The en-suite bathroom features a corner shower and bath.
Breakfast on the secluded patio and share your crumbs with the wild birds; strike out to walk the surrounding fields if you’re feeling energetic.
