Woodpecker

About this property

Woodpecker Cottage is a superb cottage providing really classy accommodation. Its beamed ceilings, stone flagged floors, glowing log burning stove, luxurious lounge and quality dining kitchen combine with beautiful bedrooms and fantastic en-suite bathrooms. Crisp linen and fluffy towels top the lot. Part of the coach house to Eccles House, a lovely Georgian Mansion, it's at the end of a quiet country lane with super views across the valley and a cauldron of Peak District hills as a magnificent backdrop.

Get up early and spot the Woodpeckers and other birds that live in the House's extensive grounds and woodland. Have breakfast on the patio before exploring the numerous local walks. A wander down into the valley will get you to the bustling village with its local shops and great pubs. This is an absolutely brilliant holiday location within easy reach of Derbyshire's myriad of visitor attractions.

For exciting days out how about a trip to Castleton's Blue John caverns, Peveril's 'storm the battlements' castle, Bakewell's famous Monday market, Monsal's magnificent waterfalls, Gt Hucklow's gliders, Calver's breathtaking views and even Chatsworth House for a very special treat. Wherever you go get back in time for a drink in the Old Hall Inn!
