About this property

Cosy Cottage in Grindleford | Garden, Views & Walks on the Doorstep | 4 Guests

This cosy cottage is located in the picturesque village of Grindleford, right in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Recently renovated to a high standard while retaining its original cottage charm, it offers a warm and welcoming base for couples, walkers and dog owners looking to enjoy the Peak District at a relaxed pace.

To the rear of the property is a private enclosed garden with open views and a lovely summer house overlooking Froggatt Edge. The garden and summer house enjoy the sun throughout the day and provide a peaceful spot for morning coffee, relaxing after a walk or simply sitting back and taking in the scenery.

The location is ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. Some of the Peak District’s most loved walks are right on the doorstep, including Padley Gorge, the Longshaw Estate and riverside routes leading towards Hathersage and beyond. Grindleford also has its own train station with good links to surrounding villages, as well as Sheffield and Manchester, making it easy to explore without relying on the car.

The village itself has a friendly and welcoming feel, with a local pub and a hotel restaurant offering convenient places to eat out. Well known attractions such as Chatsworth House and many other Peak District highlights are also just a short drive away.

Inside, the cottage is arranged over three floors and has been thoughtfully designed to feel both comfortable and sociable. On the ground floor, the entrance leads directly into the living room, where comfortable sofas, a log burner with ambient lighting, and a Sky Q TV create a cosy and relaxing space, perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. A dining area sits to the rear of the living room and flows naturally into the kitchen, making the ground floor ideal for spending time together.

On the first floor, there is a well presented double bedroom with a luxurious mattress and quality bedding to ensure a great night’s sleep. The main bathroom is located next door and features a large walk in shower, WC and basin.

The second floor offers a spacious king size bedroom with its own en suite shower room. A large Velux window overlooks Froggatt Edge, bringing in plenty of natural light and offering beautiful views across the surrounding landscape, creating a calm and private retreat.

Dog friendly and full of character, this cottage is ideal for guests who want excellent walking, beautiful scenery and a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. Whether you are heading out for long hikes, exploring nearby villages or simply relaxing in the garden and summer house with views of Froggatt Edge, it is a wonderful base for enjoying the Peak District.

There was nothing not to like with our stay at the cottage. It was immaculately clean and it suited my friend and I perfectly with he secure and well laid out garden being great for my dog. We made use of the comfortable patio furniture and enjoyed the view to the woods and listening to the birds. The cabin at the end of the garden with seating etc is a bonus.Roadside parking outside was fine. The neighbours were friendly and helpful especially on bin day. Grindleford is a great place.....walks, community shop/cafe, train station

Cosy little cottage but not really big enough for 4 adults, kitchen was far too small. Also nowhere to store dirty boots as walk straight onto a carpet. Nice log burner but only one log for 3 nights.

Very expensive for what it is. Despite the refurbishment the house is very small. The kitchen is so small with a cupboard you hit your head on. Fridge missing door tray so impossible to stand up bottles. Definitely not for four people. No upstairs bedroom door!The shower on 2nd floor is so small it’s virtually unusable unless you’re related to Harry Houdini.Very disappointing for the price.

Thanks for the review. I'm disapointed to hear you thought it was expensive, we are competitively priced for the area being cheaper than single hotel rooms generally. As others have said we have made very good use of the space available and do list the property as a cosy cottage.

A very comfortable if compact cottage, in which we really enjoyed having a short break at the end of May. The kitchen and dining area are quite tight, but the garden and summerhouse are a real bonus. Cottage very nicely furnished and presented and much to be recommended. Lovely wildlife garden next door with very friendly neighbour!

The house is ideal and well thought out. Only suggestion if you are staying here would be to take logs and kindling with you on arrival as only 2 are provided. In addition take toilet rolls, as there was only half of one on arrival. Livkily we took logs, kindling, firefighters and toilet roll with us. It would also be nice if an ash bucket could be provided by the owner.

Well kept cottage in a lovely area

We had a lovely time staying here, very clean and close to lots of lovely walks. Only thing to note is the property is a lot more snug than we expected, we went with two couples and 3 dogs and only just fit but we still had a nice stay.
