Sycamore Cottage

About this property

Resting in the centre of Dobcross, a village in Saddleworth, lies this charming, one-bedroom holiday home, Sycamore Cottage. With superb access to nearby amenities, along with terrific positioning between the city of Manchester and the Peak District National Park, this property has everything you and your family will need for a relaxing, self-catered escape to the North West. As you step into your new home-from-home, you will be greeted by an ambient, well-presented open-plan living space, comprising of a fully-equipped kitchen complete with modern appliances that can be utilised to rustle up delicious, home-cooked meals, and an inviting dining/sitting area where you and your loved ones can watch a film on the sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. In warmer months, take a glass of your favourite beverage out into the quaint patio area, with serene views of the surrounding woodland. When the evenings grow darker, indulge yourself in a long, hot bath before retiring to an inviting king-size bedroom, an idyllic sanctuary where you can rest and restore after a fun-filled day. If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil lodgings, explore your local area by grabbing a pint or settling down for some traditional pub fare at The Swan or The Navigation Inn, both within easy reach of your new dwelling. Manchester is a short drive west, one of the UK's largest cities where visitors can spend time shopping at The Arndale Shopping Centre, roaming the grounds of the Manchester Art Gallery, or even catch a live show at the famous Palace Theatre. From your doorstep, you can also experience the annual Yanks Festival if your stay coincides, where a selection of 1940s entertainment can be enjoyed! The Peak District to east also offers a wealth of stunning walking and cycle paths for those craving an energetic day out in nature. Bring your loved ones for a memorable stay at Sycamore Cottage.

Dobcross is a charming hilltop community about halfway between Delph and Uppermill.

It also offers a fair selection of attractions, such as the Brownhill Countryside Centre, the yearly Whit Friday brass band concerts, and walks along the Diggle Canal. Eating options include The Navigation Inn and The Swan, while you can stock up on supplies at the local Post Office and Village Shop. The Saddleworth Museum & Gallery, Saddleworth Golf Club, Weaver and Wilde Coffee House, and The Riverside Bar & Grill are just a short distance outside of the hamlet in Uppermill.
