The Old Shop Family Cottage for 6 & Furry Friends - Pass the Keys

An Amazing Guest Rated Stay - The Old Shop is a Wonderful, Dog Friendly Cottage for 6 with EV Charger & Ultra Fast WiFi

With wide ranging views of the Peak District, our property boasts many original features. A traditional local pub, visitors centre, tea room & the start of the Manifold trail, less than 5 minutes walk away. Hartington is a 5 minute drive away, with its famous cheese shop. The market town of Ashbourne, Spa town of Buxton, Dove Dale & Alton Towers are all within 20 mins.

From your private parking space, step through the back door into a light-filled, triple-aspect lounge-diner. With seating for six, a crackling wood-burning stove, and a Smart TV, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day exploring. The spacious, fully equipped kitchen is ideal for cooking up hearty meals, while a separate laundry room with extra fridge-freezer and a handy downstairs WC add extra convenience.

Upstairs, you’ll find a serene master bedroom with a luxurious super king bed and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom offers either a super king or twin beds, while the third can be set as a king or two smaller singles — perfect for children. Simply let us know your preferred layout so we can make it just right for your group.

Need even more space? We also own the charming cottage next door (sleeps 4) — perfect for family gatherings, reunions, or walking holidays with friends.

And for the eco-conscious traveller, our solar panels provide renewable energy, making your stay greener than most Peak District properties.
