Description: Dale Cottage is a delightful 200 year old 2 bedroom stone cottage in the heart of the Peak District National Park village of Youlgreave. The cottage has been completely renovated in 2009 with a new bathroom ,new doors and double glazed windows and has views over Bradford Dale. It has thick stone walls that make it cosy in the winter and cool in the summer with the added benefit of an open fire for those colder nights.

There are games and books for adults and children, a telephone and, at extra cost, wi-fi access for your laptop.

There is a coal and log shed and an outhouse for the washing machine, tumble dryer and garden furniture – recliners, parasol, table and BBQ.
At the bottom of the small garden, there’s the original outside loo! The garden overlooks Bradford Dale to the sheep-dotted hills beyond. The Dale houses a multitude of wildlife - water voles, kingfishers, dippers, winter wagtails and all sorts of ducks.
