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.

The cottage was very cute and cosy but a little small for 4 adults when the weather wasn’t good. If we had good weather we could have eaten outside and made more use of the summerhouse. The shower on the top floor was extremely small, my husband good barely fit in it and he is not obese. A booklet with information would have been useful, we had no idea how to put the bin out, the neighbour told us the day after bin day. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen equipment.

It was our second stay at Goatscliffe Cottages which we chose again for its proximity to Buxton, Chee Dale, Bakewell and the Monsal Trail.

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.

We enjoyed our time in Grindelford. This cottage was clean and well-maintained to a high standard. The garden was great for our dog, and the summer house looked lovely, though we didn't use it during our stay. It is a tight, small space, but suited our needs well. It was close to so many things, and parking was easy.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Taylor

Host profile image

We are Taylor Holiday Lets, a local family run holiday let business, and we personally manage and care for every property we host. Being hands on means we know each home inside out and can make sure it is always well prepared for your stay.

We live locally and love the Peak District and surrounding areas. We enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here, whether that is recommending great walks, places to eat or family friendly days out. Our focus is on creating relaxed, comfortable stays where guests feel well looked after, without anything feeling over managed or impersonal.

We take pride in offering well maintained homes, clear communication and a friendly, responsive approach from booking through to check out.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because Grindleford offers everything we love about the Peak District in one place. It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful walking and cycling routes in the area, with places like Padley Gorge, Froggatt Edge and the Longshaw Estate right on the doorstep. The scenery is open, peaceful and constantly changing, making it a place you never tire of returning to.

What we enjoy most is the balance the village offers. It feels quiet and tucked away, yet has a train station with great links to nearby villages and cities, making it easy to explore without always using the car. We have spent a lot of time here ourselves and fell in love with how relaxed the area feels, whether you are heading out for long walks or simply enjoying the views from the garden. It is a place that encourages you to slow down and really enjoy being in the countryside.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is its combination of cosy cottage character and exceptional views. The house sits in a peaceful village setting with an enclosed garden and summer house that looks out towards Froggatt Edge, giving guests a beautiful outlook to enjoy throughout the day.

The layout works perfectly for a relaxing stay, with a welcoming living space featuring a log burner with ambient lighting and a comfortable, homely feel. Walks begin straight from the doorstep, meaning you can explore some of the Peak District’s most loved routes without needing to drive.

We have spent a lot of time here ourselves and designed the cottage to be a place where guests can truly switch off. It is dog friendly, thoughtfully set up and offers something a little different from a typical village cottage, making it a place guests often want to return to.
