There is a wood burner in the living room for those cooler evenings. The cottage is located in the traditional and friendly village of Youlgreave, within the heart of the Peak District National Park, and with uninterrupted countryside views from the front of the cottage. The area is a popular base for walkers and cyclists and within the village there is a variety of traditional pubs and a couple of shops.

Bradford Dale, the source of the water is just a 5-minute walk from the cottage and is home to a natural swimming pool for the brave.

Shop, pub and restaurant ¼ mile.

We had a very happy few days at Wildflower Cottage. Youlgreave provides a fantastic base from which to explore the White Peak. We walked directly from the door on a couple of days and enjoyed meals in the 3 local pubs. A visit to Chatsworth House whilst it’s decorated for Christmas is quite special. The cottage itself is compact and cosy with all the standard equipment, albeit more functional than opulent. There is no WiFi, nor mobile signal which maybe problematic for some. That is reflected in the great value pricing.
