About this property
The unspoilt village of Warslow is located in the Peak District, with moorlands and woodlands just a little under a mile away and the Manifold Walk is just over a mile from the door. There is an 18th Century Coaching Inn that offers good food and real ale just 100 metres from the cottage. If you venture to the top of the village, then you will be rewarded with the incredible views of Ecton Hill and the beautiful valleys that surround this village. Thor’s Cave is just a little over 3 miles away and offers an adventurous exploration inside the natural cavern set in a steep limestone crag in the Peak District. Hartington, a hive of activity with an ice cream parlour, famous cheese shop, pubs, cafes and circular walks and Wetton Mill, with a quaint tea room and wonderful views, are both within a 3-mile radius.
The cottage itself is one of a pair of old farm workers' cottages, lovingly restored to offer spacious and comfortable accommodation for two and benefits from an enclosed rear garden with views over the surrounding fields and hills.

Hobcroft Cottage has been really well converted from farm buildings to a lovely, cosy cottage perfect for couples who enjoy the outdoors. The wood burning stove was so nice to come back to after a day’s walking. There are walks from the cottage into the Manifold Valley.and many more within an easy driving distance. The local pub with its own micro brewery serves excellent food.

This is an excellent cottage and perfect for two people, some cottages for two can be a little cramped but Hobcroft Cottage is a good size so feels spacious while still being cosy and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and have equipped the cottage to a very high standard. There is a private outside seating area which provides views over fields and the lovely countryside in this area and to top it off there is a pub just a few minutes walk away.
