Escape to the tranquility of the Peak District
Nestled in the heart of the Goyt Valley, on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border, our Peak District cottages are situated on the banks of the river Goyt and form part of Lower Dale Farm Equestrian Centre (British Horse Society Highly Commended). With picturesque walks in all directions, you can watch for our King Fisher pair as well as observe the birds of prey and the numerous herons from the banks of the river.
Our Self-Catering Cottages
Our self-catering cottages are conveniently situated in Greater Manchester, just 2 minutes drive from Rose Hill and Marple Stations for a 25-minute journey to Manchester city centre, only 20 minutes driving distance from Manchester airport and 15 minutes drive to Stockport. Edale is just 15 miles away which is in the heart of the Peak District. Fishermen will find Brown Trout, Grayling and even the occasional Salmon in a stretch of river alongside the cottages. A path (cycle/bridle/foot) meanders along the riverside with a short walk/cycle to a country pub which serves food all day, or for those interested in history link over to Chadkirk Country Estate and Chapel which dates back to the Doomsday book!
