About this property
This character, detached cottage is situated in the picturesque village of Biggin, near to Ashbourne, in the peak District National Park. This cottage is tastefully decorated throughout, keeping many original characters, making a perfect place for families and groups of friends to enjoy a lovely holiday. There is a well-equipped kitchen with a good-sized dining table and chairs, making a great social space to prepare and enjoy some great home-cooked meals. There is a choice of two sitting rooms with plenty of comfy sofas either with a welcoming woodburning stove or electric fire to relax in front of after a full day out and about exploring the area. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, plus a cot room with a family bathroom. To the outside of the cottage are extensive enclosed lawned gardens to enjoy, making a great place for the kids to let off some steam. Make use of the outside furniture for some alfresco dining or even just a relax with a glass of something chilled. There are wonderful walks from the doorstep and cycling trails directly accessible from the village, while the lovely village church and pub allow you to soak up the local atmosphere. Take a trip to the wonderful National Trust owned Dovedale and make use of the Tissington Trail for something different. For a good day out, take a trip to Buxton with its famous opera house and spa water as well as a good array of shops and bars, whilst the antique searchers paradise of Ashbourne is also an easy drive away in the opposite direction. Further afield, take a visit to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, or take a trip to Alton Towers for a fun-filled day out. Whatever you decide to do, Church View is a great place to explore the whole of the Peak District.
The lovely, small rural village of Biggin is situated perfectly for exploring the Peak District National Park. The village is a scattered stone-built village with a church, a lovely pub serving good food and Biggin Hall Restaurant. Biggin is close to the wonderful National Trust owned Dovedale and the Tissington Trail, with excellent access for all for walking and cycling.

The owner gave us great customer service and the cottage was really well set up for our young children, who loved it! Nice and cosy, great location.

Very well equipped cottage, lots of nice little touches for the children such as kids bedding, fairy lights, books, games. Cottage in need of some renovation and oven wasn't great, although hob was fine, but didn't affect our stay. Pub in the village was really accomodating for the kids and the playground in the village was also really good. Overall had a great time.

All the facilities are excellent and the log fire was extra special at making us all cosy after our long days exploring the Peaks. We really appreciated our welcome hamper, which was full of yummy goodies and considering it was my husbands 40th and Easter, the treats were very much welcomed. The location is excellent with local attractions and towns not too far away, which when you have kids who donât like long journeys was a major plus. We highly recommend Church View to anyone, it has everything you could ask for and more. We would definitely love to come and stay again to explore the Peaks some more. Thank you for having us and making us feel very at home.
