Accommodation

The living room

View from the bedroom window

The cottage was built about 200 years ago and has thick exposed stone walls and beams. 

It has a spacious sitting room with an open fire, a storage heater and electric radiator. Because of its thick walls, in the summer it stays cool and in the winter cosy. There’s a piano, a high-quality Sony flat screen TV, a CD player and IPOD dock, a sofa and chairs and dining table. There are games and books for adults and children, a telephone and, at extra cost, wi-fi access for your laptop.

The kitchen is modern with an electric fan oven and hob, microwave and fridge.

Upstairs, there are two rooms, one with a kingsized bed and a little room with a small double bed. Linen and towels are provided.

The bathroom has bath, power shower, loo and basin, and underfloor heating.

The cottage has been extensively refurbished in 2009 with a new bathroom, doors and double glazed windows

Outside, there is a coal and log shed and an outhouse for the washing machine and tumble dryer (both new in 2010) and garden furniture – recliners, parasol, table and BBQ.

At the bottom of the small garden, there’s the original outside loo! The garden overlooks Bradford Dale to the sheep-dotted hills beyond. The Dale houses a multitude of wildlife - water voles, kingfishers, dippers, winter wagtails and all sorts of ducks. A walk in one direction leads you to Middleton-by-Youlgrave, while in the other direction, you can take an evening stroll down to Alport, returning via a Youlgrave pub for an evening drink or meal.
