This was once a major junction on the midland railway line and Millers Dale was one of the largest stations on the line, which now boasts spectacular views of the twin viaducts that once carried the powerful steam locomotives. This old line now forms a traffic free route for 8½ miles of walking and cycling, passing through some of the Peak Districts amazing limestone valleys. Tideswell, Buxton, Bakewell, Castleton and Chatsworth are all close by. There are some excellent walks with rugged peaks to the north, and gentle hills to the south. This fantastic property really does provide perfect accommodation for those looking to come and explore historic Peak District towns, and enjoy this part of the country at any time of the year. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Just spent another week at the station house. It has everything you need, right on the Monsal Trail and many other walks so you don’t need to get in the car

We had a fantastic week at station house, we spent Christmas here. Cooked a full Christmas dinner in the oven, had no problems using it and the hob also. Was a little worried reading reviews previously mentioning the oven, but I’m glad i ignored them and tried it for myself. Fantastic cozy house with everything you need. The log burner was fabulous on the cold evenings and afternoons when it got a little nippy. The treats on arrival were a lovely touch, my husband enjoyed reading the books that were available in the lounge too. We done many walks and visited lots of places. Drove to see the woodhead tunnels which was a great drive. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it. Shops and farm shops close by. We also got to see the young farmers tractor run! Perfect location with everything you need inside and on the doorstep. Feeding the birds kept me busy, loved watching them outside the window. Hearing the owls late at night and early morning. Thank you to Andrew and family for a wonderful cozy Christmas retreat in your fabulous home.

What an excellent cottage in a stunning location. Very clean and well equipped; as with other visitors we failed to make the oven work, despite the How To video, but it did not detract from our stay. Great walks from the doorstep and easy to access facilities in Bakewell. Would highly recommend
