2 Bed Cottage in Longnor

About this property

Explore fabulous walking country from this secluded cottage. Set within peaceful countryside close to the Staffordshire village of Longnor, it is perfect for couples or a small family.

Through the low-threshold doorway of this traditional stone cottage you’ll find a comfortable lounge with a timber floor, exposed beams and a wood burner – just the place to snuggle up in after a day’s hiking, cycling or riding through the spectacular landscapes of this part of the Peak District. There’s a spacious and well-equipped kitchen/diner, ideal for preparing tasty meals or picnics, from which there are stairs leading to the first floor. Here, you’ll find a charming king-size bedroom, a sweet single bedroom tucked under a sloping ceiling with a skylight, and an elegant family bathroom. A handy utility room with a washing machine can be accessed from outside. Take the external stone steps to your private patio, a gorgeous place to dine alfresco, and relish the fresh air and tranquillity. Within the farm’s grounds there are other seating areas, which you’re welcome to use, and also a small woodland.

In the ancient village of Longnor, less than 2 miles away, there is a choice of shops and traditional pubs, while the spa town of Buxton is just 10 miles, and Bakewell 12 miles. This moorland countryside is great base for a walking holiday, offering easy access to the famed twin hills of Chrome and Parkhouse (aka the Dragon’s Back), as well as Dovedale and the High Peak region. For something a little different, venture into Poole’s Cavern & Buxton Country Park, 9 miles, for a tour of underground passages filled with stalactites and stalagmites, followed by a stroll through woodland trails to a panoramic hilltop viewpoint.
