Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in The Peak District
The Peak District National Park straddles Staffordshire and Derbyshire and offers a wealth of outdoor activities for the intrepid (and more sedate) explorer. Known as ‘The Peak District or ‘The Derbyshire Dales this is a beautiful region in which to take a short break or longer self-catering holidays. View this splendid choice of rural holiday cottages in the Peak District in quaint, cosy stone-built homes for holiday ideas. Some of these are in historic towns such as Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock, while, for a real rural escape, there are plenty of remote moorland and farm cottages from which to choose.
Being in the Midlands, this is an excellent location for large family gatherings or reunions. Unsurprisingly, therefore, the region is nicely blessed with a wide choice of large holiday cottages. If you like walking or cycling, there are miles of stunning hills, valleys and trails. There are plenty of cycle paths, such as The Monsall Trail, to explore on your own or with friends, family or just the dog (you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly cottages within this Midland walkers paradise). Go underground and explore the Peak Cavern (known locally as The Devil’s Arse! Alternatively, try many Peak District Ranger-guided tours to ensure you don’t miss anything of its history and habitat.
