Applegarth is a really nice, cosy, well equipped little house in a good position for a short stay. We had four nights there and would return when visiting that area again. We ate at the Royal Oak every night which served us very well and we didn't run out of menu options. The big plus is having three bathrooms for three bedrooms, so it's ideal for three couples.
Lovely venue with great walks close.
Just wanted to say that we had an amazing few days away. Property was amazing and the kids absolutely loved it. One of the nicest self catering places we have stayed in.
Clean and well equipped cottage. Quite remote but walkable to the nearest pub. Good centre for this part of the Peaks. “We all had a very enjoyable stay at Applegarth. Thanks. The cottage had everything we needed and was nicely presented.
Lovely venue and barn. Great information from the host pre arrival and early check in offered. The living area is small for 6 so we had to push the sofas to one side to all fit around the table. Lots of lovely walks and stuff to do locally.
A beautiful converted barn in a remote location in the Peak District but only a short drive to the main attractions and trails. Thank you for a lovely stay.
A nice place to stay to explore the Peak District. Good sized bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and pretty surroundings. Only niggle is the WiFi doesn’t work well in all the bedrooms but it is fine in master bedroom and kitchen.

We loved the outdoor picnic table for a breakfast in the sunshine. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for a short stay. Great spot for walking in the Peak District!”
“Lovely property, well furnished and clean. Beautiful part of the world if you are looking to escape to the countryside, yet be in driving distance of pubs, restaurants, cafes and other amenities. Having Buxton and Bakewell on your doorstep make this a wonderful get away. There are many walk for all abilities and stunning scenery to go with them.”
Applegarth cottage is wonderful: old stone exterior, modern clean interior. Location is great, right by the bike trail, open Peak District fields and a great gastro pub walking distance down the quiet lane.
Great place, super clean, friendly host and fantastic location. Perfect

3. Chatsworth House and Park
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.

A great day out for the family with something for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy a visit to the Wincle Brewery, where you can even do a one day brewing course! After a trip to the brewery why not call into the Ship Inn, just down the lane where you can sample Wincle’s fine ales in the pretty beer garden. Follow up with finally finishing the day off with a visit to Blaze Farm, a working farm that has become famous for their awarding winning Hilly Billy Ice Cream which is all made on the farm using the milk from their dairy herd. With tea rooms, nature trials and animals to pet there is something for everyone!
The spa town of Buxton can really offer something for everyone; enjoy a stroll around the pretty Pavilion gardens. The kids can enjoy the playground areas or you might chose to go for a swim at the recent refurbished swimming pool. The more adventurous may want to try out ‘Go Ape’ the treetop adventure course, for those without a head for heights a visit to Poole’s Cavern is fascinating, and it’s a great activity especially for kids when the weather does not cooperate for outdoor activities. For theatre lovers, seeing a show in the intimate Buxton Opera House is a must, and for the shopaholics the pretty Cavendish Arcade has a range of lovely little boutique shops. Lovers of real ale will enjoy visiting Buxton Tap House, which is Buxton’s own brewery pub serving its very own ales and bitters.
