About this property

A superb cottage providing classy accommodation in a really peaceful location with wonderful Peak District countryside all around.

Part of Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion, Woodpecker is a really classy and elegant cottage, set in the village of Chinley. With stone-flagged floors, beamed ceilings and a log burning stove, luxury echoes through this beautiful holiday accommodation. Sit back and relax in the spacious lounge in front of the roaring fire with a good book and a glass of wine. The quality kitchen/diner and truly comfortable bedrooms with ensuites make Woodpecker a fantastic base whilst you explore the surrounding attractions. In the morning while enjoying your breakfast on the patio, do a bit of birdwatching as Woodpeckers and other birds that live in the grounds and woodland fly above, before heading into the village centre where you’ll be met with a bunch of local independent shops and two fantastic pubs. Wander a little further and you’ll be on one of the footpaths leading through the Peak District, but don’t forget to stop and admire the fantastic views. A short car journey away you can be in the spa town of Buxton, with it’s amazing Opera House and beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture. Carry on and you’ll soon be at Peveril Castle, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, the lovely market town of Bakewell or Castleton’s Blue John caverns, to name just a few. 

Whatever you end up doing, make sure you leave some time to call in for a drink at the Old Hall Inn before heading back to Woodpecker to recharge.
