About this property

There is a well-equipped kitchen with a good-sized dining table and chairs, making a great social space to prepare and enjoy some great home-cooked meals. There is a choice of two sitting rooms with plenty of comfy sofas either with a welcoming woodburning stove or electric fire to relax in front of after a full day out and about exploring the area. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, plus a cot room with a family bathroom. To the outside of the cottage are extensive enclosed lawned gardens to enjoy, making a great place for the kids to let off some steam. Make use of the outside furniture for some alfresco dining or even just a relax with a glass of something chilled.

Further afield, take a visit to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, or take a trip to Alton Towers for a fun-filled day out. Whatever you decide to do, Church View is a great place to explore the whole of the Peak District.

The peaceful and beautifully laid out garden completed the package. Parking on the property was available, but we chose to park in the street with no issues. Our host Lynda initiated contact before we arrived and was in touch throughout. We felt both at home, and supported as guests. The kitchen was well appointed with all the items we needed, everything worked and was clean. The location of the cottage was ideal for us, with easy access to lovely walks of various lengths and difficulties (helpful maps and guides were provided), 5 minutes stroll to the pub, and close enough to Buxton and other attractions to be convenient, yet rural enough not to be overcrowded over the May bank holiday weekend. We did not have children with us but the cottage was ideal for them. The large enclosed garden provided plenty of space to play outside, and with two sitting rooms even rainy days would be good days as there were games, puzzles, books, CDs, DVDs, and TV on hand, as well as facilities for babies/toddlers including stair gates and a cot. Since the bedrooms are all upstairs, and the drive is gravelled, persons with mobility difficulties may struggle with access, though we all as "seniors" had no problems. We will be back, and we definitely recommend Church View.

The owner gave us great customer service and the cottage was really well set up for our young children, who loved it! Nice and cosy, great location.

Very well equipped cottage, lots of nice little touches for the children such as kids bedding, fairy lights, books, games. Cottage in need of some renovation and oven wasn't great, although hob was fine, but didn't affect our stay. Pub in the village was really accomodating for the kids and the playground in the village was also really good. Overall had a great time.
