Station Cottage, a Stunning Cottage With A Wealth Of Character And Charm

Station Cottage dates back to 1694 and is situated in the rural village of Hognaston, Derbyshire. This stunning cottage was renovated and refurbished to create a luxurious holiday cottage with a wealth of character and charm. The location of Station Cottage combines the tranquility of Hognaston Village with easy access to the beauty of The Peak District, the popular towns of Bakewell and Ashbourne, the stately homes of Chatsworth House, Kedleston Hall and Haddon Hall, the fun of Alton Towers, and it is just a 20 minute walk to Carsington Reservoir. Outside there is a patio with table and chairs to enjoy the peace of the village. And next door but one is The Red Lion Pub where tasty meals and drinks can be enjoyed.

Family wedding break
We stayed in Hognaston for a family wedding at Tissington Hall. The property is beautiful and about 15 minutes away so was perfect for our stay. The contact with the owners was very good and they always answered the queries I had. I would definitely stay here again.

So special
I found and booked this cottage almost a year in advance for a first ever full family holiday. 7 adults and 4 children. Natasha was so helpful and kind in the lead up with questions that I had. The cottage surpassed our expectations. So clean and spacious. The children loved it! The area was stunning. We visited so many places. I'm definitely going back. I Recommend 100%!!Thank you so much.

Fantastic place, fantastic location
The property was immaculately clean and in a wonderful location with Carsington on the doorstep, and Keddleston Hall and Ilam within easy reach. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Lovely, comfortable cottage
Myself and 7 friends came to the cottage for 3 days over New Years and had a wonderful time. The cottage is really warm and welcoming and a great place to hunker down, play games, cook and go on walks. Unfortunately we had lots of rain but managed a short walk to the reservoir in the drizzle which was still very pleasant! The house is really well equipped, the showers are particularly nice. Do mind those ceilings as people have said! We had a few sore heads but only for people over 6ft. It’s all part of the charm of the cottage! Supermarkets and towns with shops are about a 15 min drive away, which we didn’t explore due to the weather and mostly being hungover! Hognaston itself is very remote, and quiet, but the villages only pub is two doors down which was very handy indeed. Beer selection was fine, (not a craft beer place) but food was excellent. We enjoyed two nights in there. All In all a lovely stay and I think the cottage is truly better than the pictures show!

Great Family Holiday
We had a really good week at Station Cottage, helped by unseasonably dry & mild October weather. Plenty of space upstairs & down. Beware of low ceilings! (We had a tall (6'4") person with us & he banged his head a few times - ouch!) Beds very comfy, showers perfect for post-cycling, lockable storage area ideal for keeping bikes secure. Kitchen very well-equipped. Friendly pub 2 doors away with well-kept beer & excellent food.
