About this property
The pretty and distinctly Derbyshire village of Tideswell sits in the heart of the White Peak, an area known for its dramatic scenery; cut among limestone, it is in an area of outstanding beauty. The village itself dates back to the 14th century, and boasts great local pubs, two restaurants, cafes, fish and chip shops, sandwich shops, as well as a butcher, baker and greengrocer. It is surrounded by must-visit towns. There are excellent walking routes with rugged peaks to the north, gentle hills and dales to the south and Millers Dale just 4 miles outside the village. Eyam, with its eery and fascinating history of being “The Plague Village” sits just 5 miles to the East of Tideswell. Chatsworth House, Mam Tor and Castleton are within 11 miles and the popular spa town of Buxton is an 8 mile trip.

Fabulous house in lovely town. Ideal for exploring the Peak district, Buxton, Bakewell, Chatsworth House. The house was comfortable and well equiped, spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends and family.

What a fabulous house! We loved every minute being in there, the owners have created a warm and cozy environment that we hardly wanted to leave. There is a wonderful mix of antiques with modern furniture, the decor is gorgeous, the beds are comfortable and the log fires just divine. We especially liked the underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, the huge range, the comfy chairs in the living area by the fire and the beautiful, original floor tiles in the hall. The whole place is just wonderful, high class quality and we will be back. Oh, and we did notice that the village, Tideswell, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful too!!
