About this property

Resting in the centre of Castleton, in the heart of the Peak District National Park, is The Gables. Set over two floors and sleeping up to six guests, The Gables is a well-located setting for your next Peak District adventure, within easy reach of Hope Valley and Buxton. A large wooden gate at the side of the property hides the driveway, with room for two cars, and the enclosed garden, so that you can feel the privacy as you enjoy a barbecue on the patio or a dip in the hot tub. Inside, the property greets you with a boot room where you can leave any coats or muddy shoes before stepping into the fully-equipped dining kitchen. Moving on further into the dining room where the dining table used to enjoy an evening meal with your loved ones can soon turn into a pool table and / or table tennis table to bring some holiday entertainment to The Gables, and if this isn't your thing then you can unwind in the comfy sitting room, in front of the TV and the warming woodburning stove. Continuing to impress as you move upstairs, the property hosts three nicely decorated bedrooms, all with en-suites; the first is a twin room with a en-suite spa bath to indulge in, and the others are a king-size and a double, both with en-suite showers and ample storage space to unpack any personal belongings. Just a stone's throw away, there is an abundance of shops, cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants to explore or stroll a little further to find Peveril Castle. Castleton is in the heart of the Peak District, so venture around the hills to find yourself in walking, cycling, birdwatching, paragliding, rock climbing and caving heaven, or go a little further to the spa town of Buxton to find the Opera House, the Museum and Art Gallery, a handful of parks and gardens, or spoil yourself with the choice of even more pubs and restaurants. For a picturesque trip to Derbyshire, choose The Gables. The property is available for 2,3,4 and 7 night breaks with start dates on Monday and / or Friday.

The outstandingly beautiful Peak District village of Castleton is situated at the top of the Hope Valley, on the doorstep of some great walking country. Steeped in fascinating history, the village boasts the Norman Peverill Castle Keep which is in a commanding position keeping an eye on the village and the National Park. The village is a draw to walkers and all manner of outdoor enthusiasts wanting to follow the paths, conquer the Winnats Pass or have a go at caving. Castleton is world-famous for its visitor caves and the beautiful semi precious stone Blue John which is only found and mined here. Castleton has a fabulous array of interesting little gift shops, pubs, tea rooms and an excellent Visitor Centre with its small museum explaining life in the Hope Valley, plus the Christmas lights and festive activities are very popular with visitors during December. Nearby are the pretty villages of Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Hope and Hathersage with its seasonal outdoor swimming pool.

    The cottage is perfectly situated for leaving your car and walking everywhere. The hot tub was well used and the pool table provided lots of evening entertainment. Chris responded very quickly to queries prior to our visit and arranged an earlier check in for the children to add some birthday decorations although Chris had very kindly put up some balloons and proved party poppers- a lovely touch! I would definitely recommend a stay here.

  • Karen

    It is a perfect base for a visit to the Peak District with walks close by and other attractions a short drive away. The Gables itself is ideally situated within the village with restaurants, pubs a very good bakery and small shop right on the doorstep. We received a lovely basket of goodies to welcome us and a message to let us know the cottage was ready, actually earlier than expected. Every detail is catered for, logs for the stove, treats for the dogs, a carafe for overnight. I think this accommodation would be hard to beat.

    The house is beautiful. Perfect for families and dogs. It had everything we needed and we very much appreciated the welcome basket full of treats! The location couldn't be better. You can walk to several pubs and local shops. It's also close to lovely walks. The garden area and the hot tub were very nice. The owner was friendly and communicative via text. Thank you so much, Chris! :)
