About this property
Hunters Cottage is a well-presented, terraced cottage nestled in the heart of the village of Youlgreave, Derbyshire. Boasting a homely feel with characterful touches and ideal for a walking, cycling or hiking holiday, Hunters Cottage welcomes families and couples for a heart-warming stay in the Peak District. Enter into the sitting room and you’ll immediately be drawn to the inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove, a welcome addition during those colder months. Original flagstone flooring leads to the kitchen, equipped with a host of appliances, including a large electric oven and gas hob set within the chimney breast. Enjoy mealtimes at the dining table, or sit in the little conservatory which is a real suntrap. Venture upstairs to find three bedrooms, including two king-size rooms and a double room. Start the day with a bath or shower in the family bathroom before making your way to the enclosed garden and pondering on the day ahead. Within a moment’s stroll are several pubs where you can enjoy a selection of beverages and there’s a local village store for grabbing fresh ingredients. Just over three miles away is the fascinating town of Bakewell, offering a wonderful day out with several independent shops selling local goods and crafts, including the famous Original Bakewell Pudding Shop, plus several restaurants to sample. Avid walkers can spend their time exploring the many local routes, such as Lathkill Dale and the Limestone Way, which are directly accessible from the village. Alternatively, you can drive to Castleton, the starting point for Mam Tor, a three-mile trail that is rewarded with glorious vistas of the Edale Valley or choose the 13-mile Tissington Trail if cycling is more your sport of choice. Hunters Cottage is well-placed for those looking to experience the wonders of the Peak District National Park.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, the Historic village of Youlgreave winds its way along a narrow limestone shelf, situated between two of the area's loveliest valleys - Lathkill Dale to the north and Bradford Dale to the south. Once the centre of Derbyshire's lead-mining industry, this charming village now plays home to three pubs, all serving Home Cooked food, two shops (one with a Post Office) and a delightful medieval church. The attractive market town of Bakewell is nearby and offers a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a weekly local market. With the whole of the Peak District National Park on the doorstep, many stately homes to visit including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, Kedleston Hall, Clake Abbey offering a great day out. Alton Towers, Britain's premier theme park, is just a short drive away, this great area has plenty to offer!

Perfect for 6 adults comfortably. Loved the fact there were 3 double beds, 3 sofas and space round the table for everyone. Lovely outside space, beautiful kitchen as well as having two toilets inside. Parking was also easy. Nice to have the log burner too. We used this both nights. Overall a perfect stay and would definitely book again!

The facilities were great. Our only problem was parking. The village does have an issue with street parking, or lack of. We had to park out of the village and walk in.

There were a million good things about this cottage, so seems mean mentioning this little point here - but I guess it helps the owners just iron it out for future guests. Latch on courtyard gate needs attention as doesnât work - so had to put chair against it to keep it closed. This is bar far the best cottage we have ever stayed in, very well furnished and had everything you can ever want. We will be back definitely !!
