Derbyshire - A Hidden Gem in the Heart of England

Derbyshire Dales and Peak District National Park is still a hidden gem in the Heart of England but more visitors are discovering the beauties of our lovely rural countryside every year.

Derbyshire can offer wonderful landscapes with views to die for! It offers wonderful walking countryside, caves to explore, many super cycling trails, beautiful reservoirs with sailing, and abseiling.

There are great houses to visit such as Chatsworth House, the home of the Devonshire family and medieval Haddon Hall (used as a setting for many popular films such as Jane Eyre and The Other Boleyn Girl) and Hardwick Hall this year celebrating the 400th year of the famous Elizabethan Bess of Hardwick.

Swallow Cottage is situated in a small conservation village with lovely views and is an immaculate comfortable cottage.

The cottage is situated in Elton village, a central location in the Peak National Park with walks from the doorstep and well placed to visit all the attractions of the area, or just relax.

The cottage can cater for up to 3 people; some of our visitors return year after year! You can be assured of a warm welcome.

Exmoor - Dramatic Views and Wonderful Walks

Why speed west along the M5 past Taunton when the delight of the hidden gem - EXMOOR beckons nearby?

Tucked away between the North Devon Link road to Barnstaple and the Quantock Hills lies this wonderful moor with heather clad hills, tumbling streams and dramatic cliffs dropping to the sea of the Bristol Channel.

Within the rugged heart of Exmoor lies our private river valley where Westermill holiday cottages nestle in grass paddocks surrounded by trees. Dramatic views, wonderful way-marked walks onto the moor and two miles of sparkling river for paddling.

Watch the birds in the trees, explore our working farm or walk onto moorland and enjoy nature. Search out the enchanting villages dotted throughout the moor. Why not save your fuel by travelling to Exmoor, which is nearer and offers so much in natural activities.
