Further afield you will find plenty to do - the Blue John Caverns, Hope valley, Castleton, Edale and Hathersage are all worth a visit. Cycle your way around some fabulous country side and to the nearby Hassop Station where you can join The Monsal Trail.

Lovely secluded cottage. Brilliant location for the Curbar ridge. Thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay.
Such a beautiful location for a wonderful house, highly recommended staying here!
Really loved our stay here! Very spacious and clean! Really great location for good walks nearby and perfect for dogs! Would recommend and come here again! Thank you so much!
Edge Cottage is a beautiful place to stay with all of the comforts you could imagine. Would highly recommend and would love to stay here again. One word of advice re the pubs in Calver - they are all lovely, but walking back up the killer hill in the dark after a massive meal and wine is not something we would recommend! Just drive!
We had a lovely stay at Edge Cottage. Everything you need and a lovely space to be with friends. Close to some amazing walks and pubs!
This really is just gorgeous. Property is stylish, beautiful, comfortable and more than a home from home. Location is stunning, garden was just enchanting, and the host (Marita) was just exceptional. Can’t recommend this one highly enough. Made me want to buy the place!!
This place is fantastic, great open plan living, we really enjoyed sitting at the kitchen island whilst the other person cooked, or chilling out in front of the log fire. Views from the bedroom are great for a coffee in bed. There is an easy walk up to Curbar Edge with views across the valley, equally there is a small community park less than a minute away where we could let the dog run about and watch the sunset behind the opposing hills. Everything was spotlessly clean and the house is furbished to a high level with decent modern bathroom and shower and a well equipped kitchen. We will definitely stay again. Be aware that the low roof of the car port may not accommodate those with SUV's or 4x4s.
Cosy cottage. Very clean and comfortable. Fab, secure garden. Dog-friendly accommodation that is so lovely it doesn’t feel like a single dog has ever stayed there! We only stayed for two nights and one very wet day, but it was perfectly located for the spots we explored (Bakewell, Eyam and Curber Edge/White Edge). I’d love to return and explore more.
Lovely cosy cottage in a very quiet and relaxing area with plenty of walks on the doorstep
Superbly appointed character cottage in an amazing location, cant ask for more. Amazing host with a warm welcome. Will stay again. Thanks.
Absolutely super few days over new year, was a truly lovely cottage with great access to walks & hikes- we were lucky with the weather & the scenery is literally breath taking! Thank you to all involved.
We loved the cottage. It’s beautifully finished and had everything we needed. Including a cheery Christmas tree. The garden was great for our dog too. Lovely location too.
What a lovely cottage in the Peak district. walks along Curbar Edge, the Pipe track under Curbar Edge and along the river right outside the door. A short car drive to Chatsworth, Bakewell, and the rest of the peak district. Highly recommended. Thank you for such a great cottage to stay over Christmas. Everything was lovely and the additional Christmas decorations just make it extra special for the boys
Lovely cottage in great location for exploring the surrounding area, including Chatsworth and Bakewell, relaxing and quiet location. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend in a lovely cottage, every one had a great time.”
Great place, lovely house, would definitely recommend and will be back again!
Perfect stay. Lovely location, great walks and amazing fireplace in the snow.
Lovely well equipped cottage with parking (a plus in Curber!), excellent directions and check in. Ideally situated for walks etc. Great communication from owner.
This is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in. Super comfortable. Fantastic location for exploring the Peak District from the doorstep yet close to all conveniences you might need. The perfect cottage for our first holiday with our baby: warm thanks to being so well insulated, fully equipped kitchen so we could make dinner each night, clean and cosy. Bedrooms are very generous and beds are comfortable with lovely soft bedding. A real gem. We can’t wait to go back! Thanks, Marita!
Cannot rate this cottage more highly, as long as you want peace. Amazing location. Very special.
Neat little cottage, well put together and with everything you need for a few days away.
We really enjoyed our stay it was a lovely cottage!
Beautifully kept, clean cottage in the most peaceful, pretty location. Very convenient for the peaks, lovely gardens and amazing views.

Fabulous cottage in an amazing location. Everything about the cottage was perfect, beautifully clean and well equipped. Communication was fantastic and the location is absolutely stunning.
“Edge Cottage is a delight. Highlights are the beautiful mature garden, with plenty of space to eat outdoors in fine weather; a well-equipped kitchen and a wood-burning stove for keeping warm when the weather's not so good. Marita is a responsive and thoughtful host. This was our second visit and we hope to keep coming back.”
“Excellent stay, house was fantastic. Great location. Would highly recommend”
“The cottage is in a fantastic location if you want to explore the Peak District. It’s spacious, very clean and has very good amenities. It’s simple luxury.”
Just wanted to thank you ( and Marita who posted the items we had left behind! ) for our comfy and relaxing stay in Edge Cottage. It was a great place to meet with our son and to enjoy the great walks in the Peaks. The cottage was perfect for walking , wine and board games during a rather cool and sometimes wet autumn stay. I would thoroughly recommend Edge Cottage.
This house is everything you could want in a country getaway. Incredibly beautiful property, insanely well located for access to some of the Peak District’s best known hikes & natural wonders. The house is also amazingly well equipped for self-catering. We had the best time!”
“we had a lovely Bank holiday weekend at Marita's house. Great communication, sparklingly clean, really comfortable beds and lots of plates, pans and other kitchen utensils. The location is fantastic being so close to Curbar Edge an also an easy walk beside the River Derwent, Thanks Marita for a great weekend at your house!”
We had a wonderful stay at Edge Cottage; it is beautiful and we had excellent service from the owner, Marita, which meant that our stay was relaxed and comfortable. The garden at the property was particularly stunning along with the newly refurbished Summer House We look forward to returning to Edge Cottage in the future!
“Lovely cottage, everything you could need to feel at home. Lots in the local area for children. We went to Chatsworth, Peak Wildlife Park, Matlock Bath Abraham Heights. The girls had a great time. Thanks you!”
“My husband and I plus our dog had a wonderful time at Edge cottage. Lovely home with a large garden for Stanley to explore. Had everything we needed and we were close to so many tourist attractions including Eyam, Chatsworth and Bakewell, Along with the walks and cycling. We would recommend this place and hope to come again in the future”
“A beautiful and stylish house with everything you could need. Marita was really helpful and responsive. Would definitely book again. The area is lovely too.”
Great space, full amenities so was great for cooking large amounts of food and located in a beautiful spot in the Peaks. Would recommend to a friend!
“Really comfortable, stylish and clean property in a great location for peaks, towns and Chatsworth. You can choose to go on circular walks on your doorstep up Curbar edge, or travel to the popular day walks up Kinder Scout or Mam Tor. Chatsworth is just down the road with conveniently located shops and other amenities in Baslow. Don't neglect the local pub, the Bridge Inn - only a short walk away with great food and beer. We would definitely return next time we're planning a short break in the Peak District.”
“Great little cottage. Fabulous location. Cosy for a night in by the fire and lovely little garden space with amazing views. Highly recommended”
It was a lovely experience from beginning to end.
“Excellent host, beautiful cottage in peaceful location.”
The cottage itself was perfect for our young family... Interior, garden and location all ideal.
“Loved staying at Marita's cottage. The house was perfect, the kitchen had everything you could need and in a great location close to bakewell, chatsworth & surrounding areas. Definitely need a car as not as close to town (walking distance) as we had thought, but otherwise perfect perfect and would definitely recommend to others!”

Curbar, Baslow and Froggatt Edges offer a spectacular walking route where you can view both the Dark and White Peaks. These three gritstone edges are part an almost continuous line of cliffs running from Stanage Edge down to Birchen Edge at the southern end. These Edges once famous for millstones, are now known as great places to rock climb. There over 200 rock-climbing routes on Curbar Edge alone, making the edges a mecca for walkers and climbers alike. For walkers Baslow Edge also offers interesting features including a memorial to the Duke of Wellington, a giant rock called the Eagle Stone which in years gone by the young men of Baslow used it to show off their prowess and fitness for marriage by climbing to the top and even some resident Highland cows. A nice circular route which also includes walking along the river Derwent can be viewed by clicking here or please click here for a shorter circular route around Curbar Edge which starts at Curbar gap car park, just up the road from the property. There is also a great refreshment van called Jolly's that is frequently at the car park which serves some fantastic cakes, a lovely treat after a long walk!
Nearby is the village of Eyam, famously known as the plague village. The village was unique in its response to the outbreak of plague in 1665 as the village placed itself in voluntary quarantine. Eyam museum is great to place to find out more about the plague story and the history of village, there is also Eyam Hall, built in 1676 in a Jacobean style. The house is open to visitors (please check the National Trust website for opening hours) and next door there a small craft centre, which is also worth a visit. There are many great walks around the village and it is lovely just to wander around as many of the buildings also have plaques giving details of their history and the part their inhabitants played in the Plague saga, notably the Plague Cottages where the outbreak began.

Castleton is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to the Peak District, it has an array of natural and historical features both above and below ground, and is surrounded by superb walking country. High above the village stand the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle. To the west of Castleton lies Mam Tor offering amazing views and fantastic walking on the ridge. Castleton is most well-known for its four caves, each offering a different experience to the visitor, Peak Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Blue John Mine. The caverns are a great activity for kids and when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities.

Fabulous open air heated pool in the nearby picturesque village of Hathersage, with a great selection of events throughout the year. The lido is heated to a lovely 28oc all year round and has a nice cafe on site, undercover seating area as well as a grassed area (perfect for sun bathing in the summer months) and a bandstand. Please check out their website for opening times and further details on special events including night time swims and outdoor cinema events.
No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth Estate. There really is something to do for every member of the family - The Farmyard and Adventure playground, the magnificent house and the gardens which are equally as impressive as the house , with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.
