The cottage offers easy access to the popular Monsal Trail, 2 miles away at Millers Dale station car park - a traffic free route for walkers and cyclist (hire at Blackwell Mill and Hassop Station) through some of the Peak District’s most spectacular limestone dales. It runs for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road, Bakewell. The Pennine Bridleway and Limestone Way are also nearby. The spa town of Buxton is within 3.5 miles with amenities for shopping and eating out or visit the stunning Buxton Opera House. Buxton’s Pavilion Gardens offer beautiful parkland, boating lake, miniature railway, soft play area, and an indoor botanical garden with retail area. The market town of Bakewell, famous for Bakewell pudding and Chatsworth House are a ‘must see’ situated within a 12 miles radius. Tideswell, the ‘Cathedral of the Peak’, is 2 miles away, where shops and pubs can be found within this delightful village.

The kitchen is well-equipped for family dining with everything you need to rustle up a meal during your stay, alongside a breakfast table and seating where guests can use the wall-mounted TV or choose from a selection of books. To the left of the kitchen, you will find a pretty twin bedroom with countryside views and a nearby utility room. To the right of the kitchen, you will find a downstairs bathroom room, and a master bedroom with everything you need for a restful night's sleep. Take the five stone steps up into the spacious lounge/diner which is flooded with light from the multiple windows that provide views of the garden and mature trees. Relax on the comfy sofas in front of the TV, light the wood burner, or spend quality time with good company around the dining table.
The rear garden is fully enclosed with comfortable outdoor seating and dining table with chairs and a charcoal BBQ lined with an impressive ancient estate stone wall, overlooking a wildflower meadow. The front garden makes the most of the impressive views out towards Mam Tor with decking and outdoor furniture perfectly placed to sit back and relax.

We loved our week at The Potting Shed. It was the best equipped cottage we've stayed in with everything for us and our dog right down to throws, towels & bowls for him. The location was great with Buxton, Bakewell & Chatsworth a short drive away & walks from the doorstep. Couldn't fault it & would definitely return.

A superbly equipped, comfortable and spacious cottage with an enclosed garden for our dog. The owners were there available to help us if we needed it. It's a wonderful part of the country with amazing walks, sights and shopping. We would definitely come back to The Potting Shed!

Lovely spacious accommodation and very well equipped. Location not suitable if you want to walk to shops or pub as 2 miles plus away and very hilly. Although has beautiful views a little out of the way for us personally. Also no privacy from neighbouring garden as glass windows down whole side of sitting/dining room and low fence in garden.

Excellent cottage in beautiful Peak District. But one very specific problem. The short staircase is surprisingly narrow and twisting - fine for most people and dogs, but our greyhound found it impossible and spent the week in the kitchen, unable to access the living room and garden.

The potting shed is unusual in that its a conservatory. The main area is spacious and unique in its seventies vibe. The kitchen is really well equipped and a great place to hang out with the amazing views.

Lovely cottage, comfortable. Wood burner gave off excellent heat, living room very spacious. Not far from Tideswell and the Monsal trail. Lots of other walks but only had a short time there and weather wasnt kind.

We had a fantastic stay. Lovely location. Access and parking was a bit of an issue to the potting shed (but we do have a van, ). Lovely walks from the doorstep. For anyone who swims, there is a reservoir about 10 mins away, combs reservoir. Cottage has everything you need, garden a little smaller than expected but secure.
