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 towns of Bakewell and Buxton 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.
Ingle Cottage is a short drive (or an hours country walk!) to a great country pub The Royal Oak at Hurdlow which boasts an expansive menu of home-cooked food including excellent Sunday roasts and delicious desserts.
The address of Ingle Cottage is:

The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Ingle Cottage. Verbatim.
We had a fabulous long weekend, despite the sub zero temperatures at the start of 2026.
A lovely cottage which was warm and welcoming on arrival. Everything was exceptionally clean and cared for. Will certainly come back again. Thank you
Ingle Cottage is spacious, warm and very comfortable and was perfect for my family at Christmas. The accommodation worked very well, including the use of the loft. All beds were found to be comfortable with good quality bedding. The whole place was extremely clean and the kitchen very well equipped. We had supper at the pub 10 minutes walk up the road, great atmosphere and good food. Ingle Cottage is in such a beautiful area, easy to get to Buxton and explore a bit beyond including Eyam and the Monsal Vale viaduct walk. I highly recommend Ingle Cottage.
The cottage is beautiful, a real home from home, so much attention to detail. Luxury bedding and a really well equipped kitchen. The local pub had such a great atmosphere and lovely food. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you very much
I can't say how great this cottage was. it was spotless, equipped with everything we needed and we immediately felt at home when we arrived. Our hosts had even put up Christmas decorations as they knew we were having an early Christmas with our family who live near by. To be honest, it was perfect! Thank you.
A lovely weekend! We went to Chatsworth House and we had a great meal at the local pub. The cottage is prefect and we hope to visit again. Thank you.
Thank you for a brilliant stay at Ingle Cottage. The extras that we received an arrival were very much appreciated and the cottage is beautiful. We have eaten at the local pub, which was lovely, we have visited: Cheedale stones & Monsal Dale, Hartington and Wolfscote Dale circular walk, Lud’s Church & The Roaches and look forward to coming back. The Royal Oak was a great place to eat too!
Beautiful Cottage and great walks around the area
Had a wonderful 50th birthday celebration at Ingle Cottage. Everything that was needed to keep warm (it did get down to -5’) was here. Enough room for 6. An excellent base for local hikes with a superb pub at the top of the road.
Ingle Cottage has been my favourite holiday cottage yet. A real 10/10. Truly beautiful location and so well placed between Buxton and Bakewell, Dovedale etc. We found the cottage to be of a very high spec, comfortable, roomy and cosy. Great bedding, hot water, and heating as it had turned a bit chilly in the evenings. We were a party of 4 adults with ample room. We had everything we needed to eat in, but also sampled the local pub and a nearby pizza restaurant in Buxton. The host messaged us before and after check in, which I appreciated. All in all, a thoroughly great stay. We hope to return as a family member leaves in Greater Manchester.
Thank you for a wonderful stay in Ingle Cottage impressed by the high spec of everything, warm and cosy well stocked with everything we needed. In a glorious setting. Will return I’m sure
We had a lovely time at Ingle Cottage. Everything was just perfect and we would certainly stay here again!
Thank you for our lovely stay in such a beautiful area and a beautiful cottage. The extras of tea/coffee, crisps etc were very much appreciated. We found the cottage with everything we needed and it was very well equipped. Thank you
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is beautiful and Chelmorton is a quiet 1 road village with a lovely pub at the top of the hill. The food is worth the short but steep walk. If you want a peaceful cottage get away with lots to do in the surrounding area then this place is well recommended.
Had a great few days in your lovely cottage having a reunion of Uni friends after 46 years! We found everything we needed and enjoyed the location and visits to the local pub. A great time was had by us all, thank you
We had a wonderful stay in Ingle Cottage. It was a real home from home with all the comforts and facilities we could have needed. Situated in a quiet village, with a great local pub, it was a perfect base to reach many of parts of the Peak District.
We had a lovely stay, the cottage was very comfortable and beautifully equipped, would love to come back! The local pub was lovely too!
We had a wonderful week in the Peak district, our stay in Chelmorton was very peaceful. The cottage is beautiful, fully stocked with everything you might need. Very thoughtful hosts.
What a lovely week in a beautiful cottage. Found some beautiful places to explore and Derbyshire has proved to be a place I will definitely return to. Thank you
Cottage was very comfortable for a 3 generation holiday. Great walks in the area enjoyed visiting Chatsworth, Alton Towers and the Emma Bridgwater factory. So much to do thank you for a wonderful holiday.
We have had a wonderful stay in Ingle Cottage . A home from home with all the comforts we could need. It was a great central base for us to visit all of our favourite places and we have enjoyed our time here very much. Thank you!
A perfect home away from home we visited family and all out old haunts. Comfortable, spacious and unexpectedly sunny.
Coming back for our second stay at Ingle Cottage felt like home away from home. Ingle Cottage is spacious, comfortable and well laid out. Kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in. Beds are comfy. The hosts are friendly and responsive. Both cottage and guests feel well cared for.
Great house and location. This was our 2nd visit and will be back again 😊

Gorgeous, comfy cottage, great location , lovely pub food!
Really enjoyed our stay! Thank you
This was our second stay at Ingle Cottage, a lovely home in a quiet village. As before it was spotlessly clean and well presented. A perfect place as a base for the Peaks, good walks from the cottage and a short drive to other areas. Cosy evenings in the large living room rounded off a perfect stay.
We had a fantastic time at your lovely cottage, great walks and some fab food at The Church Inn.
A lovely cottage situated in a really pretty village. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. It was beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished. Great walks from the door and a very nice local pub up the road serving delicious food. It was very peaceful sitting and relaxing in the courtyard. Would definitely stay again.
Ingle Cottage is a perfect place to spend some time in the Peak District. The house is well equipped and warm, cosy and full of home comforts. The local pub is a 10 mins walk with great beer and a huge menu of specials. The beds are very comfy and the pristine white duvet covers and a lovely touch. We would definitely stay again.
Beautiful cottage, top spec kitchen and super clean throughout. Feels very homely and great location for a wander up to the local pub!
Perfect place to spend a few days over the New Year. Loved exploring Bakewell and Buxton and some great walks, cycles and runs on the Monsal Trail. Also loved being in the cottage and the local pub when it was too cold outside.
We had a fabulous stay at Ingle Cottage! The weather was quite treacherous during our stay, but Lisa - the cottage owner - and all the locals in Chelmorton were so helpful and clubbed together to make things easier. The house itself was perfect. A real chocolate box cottage in the middle of a gorgeous village. The accommodation was exactly as advertised, the kitchen super well equipped and (importantly, given the weather!) the heating worked exceptionally well. We had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to return!
A fantastic weekend walking Kinderscout. Beautiful Autumn weather and the cottage was perfect. Thankyou so much.
We enjoyed our stay at Ingle Cottage, having lots of adventures and visiting Bakewell, eating Bakewell Puddings and walking the Monsal Trail. We also were snow-dog spotting at The Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. Its been a fun October Half Term. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.
Ingle Cottage was as beautiful as its stunning location in Derbyshire within easy reach of Buxton and Bakewell (including by bicycle). Great walks from the doorstep and lovely pub up the road. Perfect welcome pack, lovely toiletries and fluffy towels too. Very cosy. Just be careful to ensure no one locks themselves out as it is easy to do with the Yale lock on the back door. Luckily someone was inside each time it happened during our stay! Really welcoming all round, thanks so much Lucy and PeakVenues.
We spent a lovely weekend at Ingle Cottage. Hiking the Tor's, splashing through meadows and huddling in the warm cottage. Rosie the dog wagged her tail numerous times, indicating that she was having a fantastic time. From us of us Browns and wannabes, thanks so much for the use of your lovely cottage
We stayed at Ingle Cottage with our two daughters, their partners and our dog. The cottage was exceptionally clean, really well equipped with nice furniture, comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The bedlinen and towels were high quality and all the equipment in the kitchen seemed to be fairly new. It was really cosy and warm and there was ample hot water for us all to shower. Ingle Cottage is one of the nicest Airb&b cottages we have rented. The host was extremely helpful, especially when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cottage. Would definitely like to return if we come back to the area. Would highly recommend.
Such a lovely stay at this cottage! The place is stunning and there is so much attention to detail. Would stay again anytime
Fantastic getaway with family in the Peaks. Ingle cottage was the homely retreat we were looking for and perfectly located.
We had a very good stay. The cottage was clean warm and well equipped, with comfortable beds and an easy to use kitchen. Instructions for the property. The Wi-Fi was reliable and fast. This was a good base for our walking holiday, and the pub down the road served a good meal. Communication was good, and we appreciated the host sending us a text checking all was OK soon after we arrived.
Comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage. We have had a very relaxing and enjoyable time here. Great base for a walking holiday. Good pubs and food for eating at (although check closing days!) Overall a very pleasant experience. Thank you!
ngle Cottage was perfect for our walking holiday in the Peak District. Everything was immaculately clean and well appointed. The cottage Is well positioned for many hikes, without needing to drive anywhere. The bedrooms were great and cottage kitchen ideal for large family meals. The garden was dog friendly, as advertised. A short walk to the village pub was really convenient for a relaxing evening and eating out too!
Lovely cosy cottage with everything you could want. Lovely walks, great pub. We had a great time! Thank you :)
We had a wonderful stay in Ingle cottage. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean with everything we needed.

Thank you!
Beautiful property, positive feedback from all who stayed and great communication from the host. Guests hoping to stay again! Thank you.
A very comfortable stay in this lovely cottage. It is fully equipped to a very high standard and very clean. Comfortable beds with quality bed linen were much appreciated. Peaceful, pretty, well located village, an ideal location for walking and cycling in striking countryside. Plenty of interesting places to visit in the area and an excellent pub just a few minutes from the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will definitely visit again.
Ingle cottage is a beautiful home and place to stay. The cottage was well furnished and equipped with all necessary items. It was beautifully furnished and decorated and a pleasure to stay. The village is absolutely beautiful and quiet and located about 10 minutes from Buxton and Bakewell so we found it easy to get around. Our host was very helpful and quick to respond. We would definitely stay there again!
Beautiful house and perfect base for us doing the ultra challenge Peak District. Accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the surroundings more. Would definitely return
I really can’t fault Ingle Cottage - it’s a beautiful and very comfortable cottage - beds were particularly comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked with all crockery, cutlery and equipment you could need. Everything spotlessly clean and presented to a high standard and top quality. The village is very quiet - the noisiest being when the farmers were moving a flock of sheep along the main road outside the cottage! Ideal location for walks in the Peaks even direct from the cottage. Also ate out at the Church Inn which felt like a real local with good pub food - though got quite busy so would recommend booking a table if eating. Overall a great stay and one of the nicest places we have stayed in.
Perfect cottage in a beautiful location. Everything as described and great hosts.
I loved it here I enjoyed the picturesque landscape (reviewed by an 8 year old) We have really enjoyed our stay the cottage is perfect, great location and locals very friendly. Thanks you !

Fantastic stay, had everything we needed and more. Lovely peaceful location and was great being dog friendly. Perfect base if you want to check out the Peak District. The local pub serves incredible food and again was dog friendly. The cottage was spotless and we felt at home right away.
We have had a lovely stay. Ingle Cottage is beautiful and we have felt very at home! The beds have been great after a day of walking. We visited the Church Inn pub at the top of the village, which was very nice and welcoming, great food and chatty staff, Chester our dog was very welcomed too. Thankyou for having us!
Lovely weekend stay in your cottage very well equipped extremely clear communication and excellent visitor welcome guide. The cottage has everything we needed to enjoy our weekend together. Lovely area to explore. Thank you.
Just to say your cottage is wonderful. Warm, comfortable, elegantly and tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean etc. Comfy beds with good linen, excellent pillows and duvets. A total joy - couldn’t wait to get back in the evenings and didn’t want to leave. So again we thank you and would highly recommend at any time. Ps as a retired manager of self catering properties this stay was a highlight.
Ingle cottage was perfect for what we needed as a family coming together for a long Easter weekend in the Peak District. Thank you to Lisa for allowing us to use her beautiful cottage as our ideal base.
Thank you for such a wonderful long Easter weekend in your beautiful cottage. With your warm welcome text, welcome pack and such a lovely warm, well stocked cottage with everything you need a real home away from home.
This property was stunning! Clean and well presented throughout with fantastic facilities. Well-equipped kitchen for entertaining. Quality appliances and everything you may need. The hosts left teabags and coffee bags which were really handy as this was overlooked by us and so were much appreciated. The bathrooms and bedrooms were stylish, spotless, functional and well equipped. Haveing parking space also helped but there was ample parking opportunities on the street. The heating was responsive and modern with NEST control. The log fire in the dining space was very handy and the hosts even prepared the fire with kindling and a supply of logs. i cannot really fault anything. the stay was exceedingly comfortable and the local information left by the host was really helpful as was the advanced brochure that was sent after booking. Just wish we could have stayed for longer. Recommended!
Lush House! We've had a lovely weekend catching up xoxo

Incredible Cottage, just like the website pictures. Everything you might need is provided and all beautifully presented. Lovely meal in the local pub (The Church Inn), a short walk up the road. Looking forward to coming back! x
Lovely stay at this pristine cottage. Super clean, photos matched real life and sleeps 6-8 comfortably if like us you get the attic room. Really lovely kitchen, clean bathrooms and comfy beds. Not much going on in the village but several very good walks nearby as recommended by the local pub, close to the Monsal Trail, Buxton and Bakewell. We also got out to Hathersage outdoor swimming pool (30 mins)!
Lovely cottage, everything we needed for a great week. Although a wet week we managed lovely walks. Can recommend the pub for lunch. Thank you.
A home from home! Ingle Cottage certainly didn't disappoint. So very cosy and warm with fantastic facilities. Fantastic having an accessible bedroom and washroom for guests with limited mobility.

It was so clean, the layout worked perfectly for us, the beds were super comfy with lovely fresh white bedding. The kitchen is lovely and well equipped. We did bring our coffee machine and echo dot speaker but apart from that we had everything we needed. We made use of the outside space as we were so lucky to have gorgeous weather.

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.

3. Chatsworth House
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.

Parking
There is private parking through the 5 bar gate - that can fit 2 cars, there is further on street parking available, if needed - we do ask you to be mindful of the neighbours driveways so not to block any access
For reasons of both safety and property insurance, under no circumstances should you use the domestic plug sockets in the property to charge an electric vehicle. Our domestic supply in the property does not have the capacity or set up to support EV charging. Please use this link, that you may find useful for the local nearby charging stations.
Outdoor Space
To the front of the cottage there is a small gravelled area with well established shrubs planted. A gravelled path to the side of the house leads you to the rear garden
The rear courtyard is paved with flagstones- offering a private sun trap to enjoy in the warmer months, with corner raised bed planted with shrubs

Property Quirks
Steps down from the parking area to the front and back of the cottage
Stone step up from the kitchen to lounge
Back door is quite low (approx 5ft 7in) so please mind your head!
Downstairs toilet doorway has a slight angle so again please mind your head
Step down into the ground floor bedroom from the lounge so please watch your step- there is a sign on the door
At the top of the main stairs there are a further 3 steps down to the family bathroom and bedroom 2
Bedroom 1 and 2 have lockable doors
The ground floor bedroom has a sloping ceiling so will reduce head height slightly
The loft bedroom has steep steps up to access and a sloping ceiling on one side so does reduce the head height- making it not ideal for young children or guests with limited mobility
Dogs
We accept 1 dog by prior arrangement and charge £30 for the duration of their stay
We do ask for dogs to be kept off all the furniture and out of the bedrooms
Please do clear any dog litter from the garden
Please do not leave your dog unattended in the property or garden at any time
Wi-Fi
Wi-fi is provided free of charge, however, as the Peak District is in a beautiful rural location, we hope you appreciate that we cannot guarantee Wi-Fi if there are technical issues out of our control. There is a dedicated fibre direct to the local exchange and offers good coverage.
