Badger Cottage (sleeps 6) - A rare find - and haven of peace in a hectic world. You enter an entirely different world driving along our picturesque river valley towards Cressbrook, a quiet and very pretty conservation village nestling on the hillside overlooking Monsal Dale, near Bakewell … and begin to relax immediately.
This cosy 18th Century grade II listed cottage provides a home from home and occupies an idyllic setting leading out into National Park country – a myriad of footpaths and bridleways with sheltered valleys, hidden waterfalls and dramatic hills, rich in wildlife and recent archaeological finds.
Our guests say this position is most idyllic and so central for exploring The Peak District National Park with its wealth of castles, caverns, historic houses, and outdoor activities. The market towns of Bakewell and Buxton, and Chatsworth House are just short drive and just beyond is an abundance of peak district attractions including Alton Towers. A warm welcome is assured at ‘The Cressbrook’ pub just across the road and there are an interesting choice of inns, and country restaurants in the surrounding area.
The cottage is a good choice for families and for walkers, cyclists and climbers with the Monsal Trail and excellent climbing at Ravens Tor and Water Cum Jolly close by. It’s also perfect for that special romantic break.
Badger cottage has a log burner and full central heating, sunny gardens and patio furniture, set in the heart of Cressbrook it has breathtaking country views of Monsal Dale, and lies in a Site of Special Scientific Interest and an Area of Conservation. All the rooms have amazing rural views, and are not overlooked. Wildlife and wildflowers abound and many guests do spot a Badger!
