Chelmorton is a classic White Peak limestone village set in stunning upland scenery, and a very quiet and peaceful village. It is one of the highest villages not only in Derbyshire, but all England and this region is known locally as Top Country. One of the dominant features of the White Peak landscape are the limestone walls and there is nowhere better to see these than in and around Chelmorton.
The strip like crofts and patchwork of walls run at right angles off the main street and date back to medieval times. The village is built along this single street running up to the church of St John the Baptist, with its' graceful spire topped by a weather vane in the shape of a locust. Behind the church is Chelmorton Low (low in the Peak perversely signifies a height) and from here the delightful Illy Willy Water stream runs down through the village. Opposite the church is the village pub, The Church Inn is a family friendly pub serving great homemade dishes and local ales. It also has a great outdoor seating area for whiling away a summer evening. Booking a table is recommended.
Further afield you will find the pretty market town of Bakewell less than 10 minutes drive from the cottage. Here you will find an abundance of local businesses and independent retailers selling lots of lovely things. A 10 minute drive in the other direction brings you to Buxton, another lovely market town famed for its natural spa waters. Visit the stunning Buxton Opera House, stroll around the Pavilion Gardens or head to Pooles Cavern where you will find the Go Ape adventure course and lots of fabulous walking around the 2 million year old limestone cave!
Rose Cottage is a short drive (or an hours country walk!) to a fabulous pub The Royal Oak at Hurdlow which boasts an expansive menu of home-cooked food.

The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Rose Cottage. Verbatim.
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Rose cottage, everything was as described and the welcome package was a lovely touch. The cottage was nice and warm and well equipped, we ate at the local pub the Church Inn which is nice pub food- they do stop serving food at 8pm though so be mindful of that. All in all a great stay in the Peak District!
Rose Cottage was perfect for our family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 7). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were made very welcome with a welcome card, hamper of Halloween snacks, Prosecco and other goodies which was really generous. The location in the village is beautiful, and the pub up the road was perfect to walk to one evening for a meal. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. A generous welcome basket greeted us on arrival and everything was as advertised. The lounge area was comfortable, although the lack of TV channels without using a streaming service did cause us some frustration. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. We only used the master bedroom which was comfortable with good quality bedding. The cottage is in a great location with the local pub (Church Inn) just up the road and walking paths/tracks nearby. The only downside for us was a mistake of our own making by not realising the bathroom was downstairs which caused a few issues on the steep stairs during the night. Otherwise a great stay.
Wonderful, characterful cottage in a beautiful area. Very well supplied place and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch
Had a great stay here! Good location, lovely fireplace with lots of wood and everything needed, well equipped kitchen and a good shower!
We had such a lovely stay at Rose Cottage, a comfortable, convenient and cosy base for our stay in beautiful Derbyshire. The cottage was immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and generously equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. We really appreciated the welcome hamper, with lots of high quality goodies that we much enjoyed. We found some great walks form the door, and really enjoyed having a lovely, welcoming local pub just a stroll up the road, where we enjoyed 3 delicious meals. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Rose Cottage and would certainly like to return in the future.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Rose Cottage and the Peak District. A beautiful location perfect cottage to be able to visit attractions without having to travel far. Cottage as described. Very clean and tidy, peaceful, shower fabulous and bed very comfortable and the welcome hamper was so kind, thank you. Pub in the village well worth the visit but as others say recommend booking even on a Monday night so glad we did.
The cottage was very nice and everything we needed was available
We had a lovely stay for two adults, a 6month old baby and our golden retriever, the cottage was spacious had everything we needed, the fireplace was a lovely addition as it was chilly some of the days. It was a great location to get to the Peak District attractions and walks from the doorstep. The Church Inn just up the road did great warming home cooked food and we ate in there often - if you’re eating there in the evening you will need to book a table!
Beautiful quaint little cottage in a lovely location, perfect for a family of four, we had a great time. Stylish decor, great shower and well equipped with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable too! The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise, and our boys were delighted that there was a football in the garden. Great outside space in good weather and the heating was extremely effective on colder days! Would highly recommend the local pub for a drink or meal too.
The cottage was well presented and clean. The hosts were responsive and helpful, it is the perfect spot to use as a base to explore the peak district. Dog friendly and perfect with providing amenties to help look after your pet. I would definitely use this location again!
Just got home from a 4 day stay at Rose Cottage. Thank-you so much for the welcome hamper- lovely touch. Rose cottage was just perfect, everything we needed and more for a great stay away. Highly recommend a stay there. Great base to explore the Beak District and certainly will return to Rose Cottage to explore more of the Peak District
A charming little cottage in a great location in the Peaks. Great for a short family trip - ten mins to Buxton or Bakewell. Comfortable, clean and modern with a lovely garden. And a three minute stroll to the Church Inn - one of my favourite pubs in the Peaks!
Lovely place in a beautiful area.
What a delightful cottage! Welcoming, clean and full of character. We had a fantastic 5 night stay. Would highly recommend
We had a lovely time (2 adults), staying from Mon-Fri in late July. Appreciated the generous hamper with personalised card on arrival. Eventually got used to the low door frames and uneven stair, but these features may have been more of an issue had we been less mobile. Good balance of rustic stone architecture with mod cons and spacious bathroom with walk in shower. Beautiful garden with 2 little calves in the croft behind the house, perfect for peaceful evenings with a glass of wine. Thank you Peak Venues.
Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful Peak District hamlet. Bedroom and bathroom were much bigger than expected and the whole cottage is nicely decorated with comfy bed, sofas etc. We enjoyed the gift basket and little touches like nice toiletries and boot tray. Local pub is brilliant and we enjoyed walks from the door. It wasn't an issue for us as our dog is happy on his long lead, but the garden (while private) is not totally secure - a jumpy dog might join the cow in the field next door - but this is mentioned in the description. Overall a very nice base for exploring this part of the Peak District.
A very well maintained and equipped cottage. Having an enclosed garden for our dogs was ideal and they had plenty of space. The welcome basket was really nice, one of the best we have had (including treats for our pups). Providing towels for dogs muddy paws and dog poo bags is another added bonus. We have booked via Peak Venues before so I was keen to use them again as I knew the standard of the property had been of a very good quality, this time (albeit a smaller cottage) was of a very similar standard.
Rose Cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed and was just as described in the details. We enjoyed the walks directly from the cottage, clearly marked with public footpath signs, which took us through some awe inspiring countryside. We also enjoyed the pub in the village, which had excellent food, service and well kept beer. In fact it was very tempting to stay close to 'home'..but we did also venture out to the Monsal Trail ( lovely walks from Monsal Head) and Bakewell. Beforehand, Peak Venues provided all the details we needed in a clear and timely way. We'll definitely be coming back!
Lovely place to stay, good off road parking. The pub just up the road was lovely, food was good but would require booking due to it being popular.
Fantastic stay, we loved the cottage and easy parking. It’s spotless and lots of lovely touches like the very generous welcome hamper. The master bed was probably the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in away from home. Would highly recommend and love to stay again. Thanks ☺️
We had a lovely time at Rose Cottage. It was quiet and peaceful with every amenity needed. The pub up the road is absolutely excellent too!
Lovely cottage in a great location to explore Derbyshire. Watch out for low ceilings if you’re tall though! Really clear instructions to find and nice and clean when we got there
Lovely cottage, nice and comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely outside seating area in garden. Loved the welcome hamper. Pub within walking distance.
We (myself, my partner and our dog) had such a lovely stay at Rose Cottage, Peak Venues were very helpful and responsive. The welcome basket was an added bonus as well as the dog blankets/poo bags to use. Lovely village very peaceful will recommend to anyone and would be happy to return
The cottage was beautifully presented and extremely well equipped. We particularly appreciated the host's welcome pack and card, and felt comfortable from the moment we moved in. We are keen ramblers so were very pleased to find good walks locally, either directly from the cottage or just a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Church Inn at the top of the village. It seems a very popular venue so, although we did manage to get a free table, booking is advisable. All in all a great place to stay and one we thoroughly recommend!
great stay, lots of amazing walks!
Really enjoyed our stay, in a nice quiet village close to areas for walking
Beautiful location, absolutely gorgeous cottage. We loved it as soon as we stepped into it. Unbelievably gorgeous village with an excellent local pub. Great location with easy access to so many great places.
Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings. The cottage was clean and very welcoming. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival day. Everything we needed. Thank you. Highly recommend.
Rose cottage was in a super location ideally situated between Buxton and Bakewell. The cottage was equipped to a very high standard which definitely made our stay extremely enjoyable. Our many thanks to Peak Venues for there contribution in making the short break outstanding. Stephen and Party.
A very nice cottage, brilliantly located between Bakewell and Buxton. The cottage is charming with original features, well decorated and very clean. Comfortable large bed also. Highly recommend the Church Inn just up the road for drinks and food, Sunday lunch was great. Dog friendly in one part of the pub. Might be worth booking for Sunday lunch as does get busy.
We loved our relaxing and peaceful stay at Rose cottage. Such a tranquil and beautiful location. The cottage was very cosy and had everything we needed. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and we especially enjoyed the Buxton beers! A fantastic few days away.
Wonderful stay at Rose cottage! We loved the welcome hamper, which included lots of treats. The cottage was beautiful and cosy.
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Rose Cottage with our toddler. The hosts were very accommodating, everything you need has been thought of and provided, plus the welcome hamper full of treats & drinks was very much appreciated. The cottage is super cozy and comfy, and in more agreeable weather the outside garden spaces would be great. The village is small but beautiful and a great spot for visiting local areas such as Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock Park Farm. Highly recommend a visit to the local pub just 5mins up the road. We would love to stay here again.
We had a lovely, comfortable five day stay at Rose Cottage. Chelmorton is so quiet and peaceful, nestled in the beautiful Dales - I think we saw one person and one dog the whole time we were there! You are also very well connected to Buxton and Bakewell, which are roughly a 10 min drives away for supermarkets and sightseeing. Rose Cottage was completely spotless, so cosy and extremely well equipped - we especially enjoyed using the log burner, playing board games, and the very generous hamper- thank you so much for this! The cottage has great parking and is in an ideal location to explore the Peak District - we’d never been before, and we can’t wait to come back again!
Would highly recommend staying at Rose Cottage. It is in a perfect location to explore the peaks, lots of lovely walks close by. The cottage was well equipped and very clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find a hamper full of gifts and a card from our host. Very thoughtful. We would definitely stay again.
Cosy feels, warm fires, thoughtful hamper, well stocked, inviting shower and a great local pub! Very well connected with brilliant recommendations and maps of nearby... ideal for travelling to Buxton, Bakewell and Castleton. Thanks!
Lovely stay here. Would stay again!
Lovely stay at Rose cottage, the property was really lovely and in a great location with a lot of walks on the door step. We had a really lovely time and would definitely book again!
We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage. Beautiful location, beautiful cottage. Close to Bakewell and Buxton. The cottage was so well presented and cosy. The host had decorated for Christmas, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The local pub is just at the top of the road and plenty of walking routes. We would love to visit again!
Lovely cottage, great spot for walks, incredibly dog friendly
Beautiful cottage. Lovely, cosy, quiet place to stay in the middle of an area with great walking routes and amazing scenery. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing short stay at this cottage, it had everything we could have possibly needed for the weekend & in an excellent location to do the walks we had wanted to do - Thors Cave, Luds Church & The Roaches. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival with milk in the fridge - thank you! Will be booking this cottage again ☺️
A fantastic stay at Rose Cottage. A real home from home! The welcome gift was a lovely added surprise. really thoughtful and made our stay even more enjoyable. We also had a lovely meal at The Church Inn.. local park was a great added extra for my little girl. We would definitely love to return in the future. 😊
Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings. We had a very relaxing break. The guest arrival hamper was a wonderful surprise.
A relaxing stay in this beautiful cottage. Was perfect for us to just unwind, in a central location for exploring the region. Great base, and loved relaxing by the fire. 10mins to Buxton and Bakewell.
Beautiful cottage in a lovey location. The finishing touches were very thoughtful and well received.
Lovely cottage in a great location. We all wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage was clean and tidy, and was equipped with everything we needed. The welcome hamper and card was a nice gesture and much appreciated. Plenty of lovely places to visit that are within a short drive. Nice pub at the end of the road.
Lovely little cottage in a superb location for the surrounding areas, would stay again.
Lovely cottage! We had a great time, highly recommended.
Fantastic stay in a beautiful cottage. Just perfect with great attention to detail. The owners thought of everything. Lovely welcome pack too.
Fabulous cottage , felt like home from home . Great location for cycle trails and such a bonus to have secure storage for our bikes. Thank you so much , we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose cottage
We as a family had a great stay at Rose cottage. The accommodation was spotless and very homely, would definitely recommend
Was a lovely place to stay 😊
We've had a lovely stay here at Rose Cottage.
Particularly good for dog - excellent enclosed garden ! Loved the quiet area. Great pub with good food. Thank you for the lovely Welcome Pack ! Really enjoyed our stay !
Fantastic cottage in a quaint little village. Absolutely beautiful place with amazingly renovated kitchen and bathroom. The place is perfect!
Great cottage, cosy and clean and well appointed. Lovely local walks and particularly enjoyed the High Peak Bookstore and café a short drive away.
Greatplace and very spacious. the welcome pack was very generous so no urgency to shop on arrival. fab parking and plenty of room for the car. certainly would recommend this place and only 5 mins walk to the pub. thanks for a great cottage.
Great house , quiet location . House exactly as described . We really enjoyed it as did the kids .
Fantastic stay.
Very nice, cosy cottage in a beautiful village. Easy to feel at home. Nice walks around and places to discover, great pub directly in the village.
Hi I would just like to say thank you. We have had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage this weekend. The accommodation is so cosy and relaxing. We had a great time exploring the local area walking too.
The cottage was lovely once we found it! We’d recommend looking for Jenny’s cottage and then it’s directly opposite. The current place they say to look for has a sign that’s really faded so hard to see in the dark! Otherwise though the cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and we’d definitely come back again
Lovely homely cottage. Great base for visiting local towns/attractions.
Absolutely lovely cottage, felt like a home from home. Great location for exploring Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and loads of walks! The most well equipped Airbnb we’ve stayed in. Can’t wait to return!
Beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us
We had a great three nights at Rose Cottage. A lovely property in a perfectly positioned, characterful village. Highly recommended.
Our second visit to Rose cottage & cannot recommend highly enough. It is in a super location & has everything in the cottage you need for a relaxing stay.
The cottage was beautifully set up and immaculately clean
Excellent property and location. Excellent hosts. Strongly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore various locations in the Peak District.
We had a wonderful stay at Rose Cottage. The property was clean, cosy and had everything we needed! The host was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and was very thoughtful even leaving out a little Halloween bucket for our young girls on arrival. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the bunk beds were a huge hit! A super cottage - just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you!
Very clean and very lovely
Wonderful villiage, cottage is as listed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Thank you for letting us stay, we've had a lovely weekend
Great property, great location and great host. Watch out for the last step
We loved our stay at Rose Cottage - it was a home from home with all the amenities we needed. The cottage is in a great location for getting out and about, yet rural enough that on clear night the stars were amazing. A bonus! Top Tip: the Queen's Arms in Taddington has a great takeaway service, and very reasonable priced beer! :-) A wonderfully relaxing time in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you.

Great stay, great house and a fantastic location. Everything we needed. Very handy guide book too which was really helpful. Thank you.
A fantastic little cottage in a lovely village with a great local pub. Good location to explore the local hills, and nearby places such as Bakewell. The cottage is lovely, it was very clean. Our boys loved using the bunk beds and we had a fantastic time exploring nearby, and have more to do next time we come.”
Great stay , fab cottage in a peaceful village with a great pub. Very friendly locals and close to places of interest. Would highly recommend!
A delightful place to stay. Location is great for exploring the surrounding villages. The cottage itself is very family friendly and has everything you need. The decor and style is to a high standard and it felt very comfortable to stay in. The cottage was clean and very welcoming. The large bed in the master bedroom was very comfy and our girls slept beautifully in the bunk beds. It really did suit us as a family of 4. We were able to make the most of the lovely garden which is well looked after. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would say is locating the cottage isn’t particularly easy as the sign on the gate is quite small and as there are no numbers on any houses it’s tricky to know which one is yours! However I’d say look for ‘Jenny’s cottage’ which has blue gates as Rose Cottage is opposite! Thank you very much we had a lovely break.
I would highly recommend staying at Rose Cottage. Beautifully decorated, fantastic location, with more than enough room for 2 adults and 2 children. Great amenities - beds were comfy, along with big fluffy towels, very nice back garden. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Peak District, you should stay here!
A lovely stay in the Peak District, the cottage had everything we needed and was very tidy. A short drive from some beautiful walking spots. We had a really nice stay and loved the cottage
Rose cottage is located in a great location in a quiet village within the Peak District. The cottage is ideal for a small family of four or like ourselves two adults and their family pooch. Within this cottage you will feel at ease immediately. The cosy hallway invites you in where you’ll enjoy an evening on some comfy sofas or making yourself a meal in the modern kitchen which has every item you could possible need. Upstairs we slept in a calming bedroom with the most comfortable bed. There is a further small bedroom suitable for two younger members of a family. Out in the garden, if the weather allows, there is a small rear patio kitted with table and chairs, under a modern new pergola. The location of Rose Cottage was perfect to enable us to visit many different places over the short time we were there. The added bonus for us was the local village pub (Church Inn) which is within an easy walking distance away.
Rose cottage was a lovely place to stay. The cottage is really cosy and has all of the expected amenities, plus a BBQ which was great for warm evenings. The welcome guide was excellent and we used Sourced locally to deliver fresh produce which was in the house when we arrived. The village of Chelmorton is very pretty and the local pub has good food and a nice selection of local beers. We did a some good walks locally including Bamford edge and Chee Gorge.
Absolutely beautiful cottage, had a lovely few days. Would definitely stay again!
We were having a break from our farm and glamping business and so happy we booked Rose Cottage. The cottage was perfect in every way. The garden was fabulous for the children and dogs, a nice enclosed walled area. Short walk to footpaths and the the local put which did fabulous hearty meals. Local residents were super friendly which was lovely. The cottage was bright, fresh and clean with everything you need. We read a few of the books and the children got through lots of the DVDS. We also hired a dog sitter whilst there which meant we could go out for the day on a few occasions. Dog sitter i booked through Charlotte and Pavillion Pets who were brilliant. Super comfortable beds and beautiful decor. Kitchen and bathroom had a lovely fresh and clean feel about them. Outside there was also a handy shed for locking your bikes up in. Even though we didn't get to meet the host communication was clear from both owner and Peakvenues. Thank you all so much for a memorable time in Chelmorton Hannah and family
We loved our stay in Rose Cottage. Beautifully decorated throughout.. some lovely touches. Very comfortable and cozy! The bed was so comfortable! The space was just right. Lovely garden in the front and back for our pug to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked. Smart TV was a bonus and we could watch films by the log fire. Plenty of walks from the cottage too. There was lots of books and maps to help choose local walks. Everything was just perfect… the only regret was not staying longer! Highly recommended !
Rose cottage is a cute little place to stay in the heart of Peak District. Sparking clean with modern bathroom and kitchen. Perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids max. Thanks for hosting us.
Gorgeous little cottage in a perfect location to explore. Everything you could possibly need to make your stay easy was available. Hosts were really helpful and communication was spot on.
The cottage is lovely, clean and cosy. It is very well equipped and the fire was enjoyed by all! The location is perfect too - 10min drive to Buxton and Bakewell. Allison was also very helpful and quick to reply to messages. The cottage is amazing and we loved our stay!
Beautifully presented cottage, everything you need and more. Perfect location for south Peak District - lots on doorstep to explore. Very comfy bed!
Lovely hospitality , particularly liked the thoughtful milk in fridge and welcome chocolates and card . The dog basket with dog towels was also very useful with the wild weather during our stay . Thank you Alison and Kate for a lovely weekend
The cottage was beautiful, set back from the street in a super quiet village the location was perfect! The cottage itself had plenty of room for cars and it’s own little gate to let yourself in. It was VERY clean and you can tell the owners had not held back on decorating the cottage, every part of it was lovely! The cottage had plenty of equipment to cook. The location itself was close to a lot of key walking areas and easy to drive to them. If you didn’t want to drive anywhere you could walk to some lovely walking places as well. We brought our dogs and they loved it also very dog friendly. We will be coming again that’s for sure, not one negative thing to say at all just perfect! 5* across everything Thanks Sophie and Josh
Rose cottage is very welcoming and cosy. It is very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely touches throughout the place.. Communication was very good and the host was very helpful. We will definitely go back.
Rose cottage is a fantastic place to stay in the Peak District. Great communication from the time of booking to arrival. A very hand guide both online and in the accommodation. Very clean accommodation with great feel to the place. Do follow the three words app as it is easy then a sat nav. Church inn great pub up the road with lovely food. Convenient location between Bakewell and Buxton. Would recommend 100%
We stayed 3 nights at this perfectly cosy cottage and didn't want to leave. It was so warm and welcoming, especially the cosy lounge with the sparkly Christmas tree. The cottage is situated in a perfect location between Buxton and Bakewell, which are just a short drive away. It is on a charming street with other beautiful cottages and a great little pub at the top, which we went to a couple of times for drinks and great food. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat with lots of walks and places to visit on the doorstep. Thank you!
Rose Cottage was a lovely home from home and well situated with many amazing sites and attractions a short drive away.
Thank you for the use of your lovely house. We really enjoyed our time away, although our feet may take another week to recover from all the fabulous walks!
Great weekend and well finished house and garden. Helpful landlord. Second bedroom is child bunks only. Ask for the twin bed in the room that can also be made as a double if you are friends sharing.
The cottage was lovely and we had a great time Thank You!
We really enjoyed our stay, the house is great! Thank you
We had a wonderful stay in the quintessential Peaks Rose Cottage. We arrived to plenty of advice for what to do locally. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and really comfy. Chelmorton is well located for lots of great walks plus a pub at the top of the road. Our two kids loved the bunk beds and our dog had a great time in the garden which has a nice seating area. The cottage isn't quite as large as the photos made out but we loved the style and the attention to detail. We'd thoroughly recommend it.
Fantastic cottage with good cooking facilities if you want a night in, or a good, friendly pub only 2 minutes up the road with some fantastic food and drinks. Thank you for a fantastic stay in the Peak District for a much needed break!
We have loved staying in Rose Cottage, so very comfortable and generously appointed. Everything was is in such good order, clean and new. This is a super part of England which is unknown to us and we would love to stay here again very soon.
“Highly recommend - we had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. The accommodation was immaculately clean, super comfortable and very well-equipped. Our puppy loved exploring the garden too. The village is quiet and peaceful, but ideally located between Buxton and Bakewell (which has everything you need in terms of groceries, cafes, etc). We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and sheep. Thanks so much for having us - we would love to return some day.”
We have had a wonderful break. Your cottage was excellent. You have thought of everything and more. So comfortable and cosy. Perfect!
A lovely little cottage away from the main tourist areas, but close enough to be close to everywhere you would want to visit. The cottage itself was sparkling clean, stylish and very dog friendly!
We’ve just loved Rose Cottage. It’s such a lovely place. So clean, tidy and well equipped. Huge thanks.
This is a lovely modernised cottage out within a beautiful rural village. The cottage is situated in Chelmorton, a small quiet village allowing easy access to wherever you want to travel within the Peak District. The directions provided by the host made it easy to find with plenty of nearby roadside parking. We received a message from the host prior to our arrival, and assured us that we could contact them should we need anything during our stay :)
“The cottage is truly beautiful and is in a stunning location! It is perfectly equipped with everything you will need for any length of stay too, all the small details that are often not thought about had been catered for perfectly! We loved our stay here and I'm sure anyone else would love it too! Great place to stay and the hosts were perfect!”
A beautiful cottage, we had a great time staying here with our children, lots of space for them to run around, and the cottage is very well equipped. We had a great week, thank you.
We had a great stay in a lovely cottage
Had a lovely weekend stay at Rose Cottage, the attention to detail was second to none. The kitchen is full equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed in the master bedroom is the extremely comfortable. The living room is cosy but with enough space for 4 people to sit and relax. Outdoor space is huge yet secluded...We will be coming back!

With the Tissington and High Peak Trails close by you can walk for miles along these old railway lines. Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles long route from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities. It is also suitable for wheel chairs and pushchairs along the flat sections and the trail is mainly mud free which is quite rare in the Peak District.

The Iconic Derbyshire view of Monsal Dale and Viaduct is within walking and cycling distance, hop onto the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale and from there you are on the old Midland Railway line which runs from Buxton to Bakewell. The trail offers 8.5 miles of traffic free and mud free cycling/walking and with the recently reopened tunnels offers one of the most spectacular leisure routes in Britain for cycling, walking and horse riding. The nearest cycle hire is at Blackwell Mill station. If walking it also worth leaving the trail and dropping down in to Monsal Dale itself to enjoy walking along down by the river.
