Cosy and neat, this one-bedroom property is ideal for an idyllic escape for two.

Buxton is the nearest town (5 miles), with its colourful main street lined with shops and eateries, plus a market square.

A kitchenette features all the essentials to cook up a meal for two, including a fridge, hob and microwave, which you can then serve at the foldaway table. Once bedtime calls, you can cuddle up in the comfortable double bed. You also have a separate shower room and WC.

A well presented and maintained cottage ideal for a couple on a short stay basis. Close to a steep hill so take care when pulling in or out. Helpful owners.

A very small but compact and well equipped cottage in the beautiful countryside with some amazing views. We received a welcome pack on arrival which was most thoughtful and welcome. I always take a supply of hand wash, cling film, fairy liquid, foil etc etc and toiletries but all of this was provided. There were a variety of pubs and eateries, tRead morehe closest of these being a five minute stroll down the hill, The Pack Horse. The food there was good and reasonably priced so too was the drinks. We also ate at the Cheshire Cheese in Longnor and here too both the food and drinks were good and reasonably priced. There's lots of wonderful places to visit in the area and we enjoyed the lovely Peak district scenery. The owners were available for any queries but left us in privacy. Hide

The Potting Shed was a cosy little place to stay in a lovely part of the world. I loved the fact that the crockery in the property was all made by the cottage owner, who runs a pottery on site. The view from The Potting Shed is beautiful and we did some good walks straight from the door. We really enjoyed eating at The Packhorse Pub, which is very Read morefriendly, does excellent home-cooked food and was a mere five-minute walk away. Hide

Quite a bit smaller than we imagined and we had to be very organised with our belongings in order to be comfortable for the week. That said the backdrop and garden were a delight many birds visited and the view just stunning at the front of the property. The local pub was just delightful, with amazing food. Visiting in the winter was a little problRead moreematic as despite there being a dehumidifier in situ the condensation was constant, especially in the little shower room where the wall behind the toilet was soaking wet and peeling .The underfloor heating was a lovely bonus and the bed extremely comfortable. I would recommend the Potting Shed for a short stay Hide

Small but perfectly formed, ideal romantic getaway! The scenery was amazing! We had to cancel some of our stay due to snow but was fine- can't be helped! Cottage had everything we needed for our stay, warm and cosy on return from our outings. Would recommend.

A very comfortable cosy stay at the Potting shed. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful. Lovely days out and walks close by and a bit farther. 2 local pubs are dog friendly aswell. Lovely well stocked little shop and fish and chip shop in nearby Longnor. All in all a fab holiday

Ideally located property for Peak District exploration. Lovely outdoor space for sitting out of an evening and relaxing with great views. The Potting Shed as its name suggests is compact but has everything you need for a break. I would say short breaks 3-5 days are ideal. I went for 7 nights but found this a bit too long for a small property, even Read morethough my own home is small too. The property is very presentable and the underfloor heating is nice and needed as it does get a bit chilly at night. I would stay again and felt the pricing was good value. Hide
