Our favourite was playing board games with friends in front of the fireplace. The house is in a private garden which you can enjoy the sunshine. The location is very close to hiking pathways. We felt like home.

Like - quirky, well equipped, warm and comfortable Dislike - location - on main road, directions poor and trying to find the property on a very busy main road on a Friday afternoon was challenging as the postcode is not accurate and the property...

Judy

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. We liked the location with the potential for amazing walks from the cottage. Sadly, the weather was atrocious, freezing cold and wet! However, the excellent central heating kept us warm.

Neighbourhood information

The attractive village of Hathersage (‘Heathers Edge’) is situated within the Peak District National Park at the beginning of the Hope Valley and close to excellent walking at Edale. Many visitors come to Hathersage to visit the churchyard and the grave of “Little John” (of Robin Hood fame) - whether he ever really existed is for you to decide! Charlotte Bronte’s famous novel Jane Eyre is thought to have been inspired by her visit to Hathersage vicarage in 1845. For a village of its size there is a very good selection of shops, pubs and places to eat, as well as a public, open air heated swimming pool and railway station. A great centre for exploring the Peak District!
