Hurdlow is a small hamlet dating back to 1244, consisting of a cluster of buildings around Hurdlow Hall and Hurdlow Grange. Holiday cottages in Hurdlow are therefore in a very quiet and historic location.
Built over 300 years ago, the farmhouse and barns of Hurdlow Grange have been converted into holiday cottages in Hurdlow, offering luxury accommodation for up to 45 guests.
The Royal Oak at Hurdlow is situated along the lane from the Hall and Grange at a junction with the old Bakewell-Longnor-Leek turnpike road. After an evening at the pub it is only a short drive or a quiet walk back to the holiday cottages in Hurdlow.
Holiday Cottages in Hurdlow are popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders because of the nearby High Peak Trail which ends at Dowlow about half a mile away. In 1830 the first phase of the construction of the Cromford andHigh Peak Railway opened with the line running from Cromford Wharf to Hurdlow, the final stretch from Hurdlow to Whaley Bridge being completed and opened a couple of years later. The railway line closed in the 1960’s.
In 1971 the redundant railway line was bought jointly by the then Peak Park Planning Board and Derbyshire County Council who converted it into the 17-mile stretch of High Peak Trail.
A few minutes drive from the holiday cottages in Hurdlow would take you to the market town of Bakewell, famed for its delicious Bakewell Puddings. Here there are individual shops, lots of tearooms and restaurants as well as leisure facilities and riverside walks.
Whilst staying at one of the holiday cottages in Hurdlow you may also wish to visit Buxton, claimed by some to be the cultural capital of the Peak District, or the quaint little town of Ashbourne with its cobbled market place and Georgian facades, both easy accessible along the A515.
Holiday Cottages in Hurdlow are situated in the heart of White Peak countryside, just a short distance from picturesque Derbyshire Dales and the Staffordshire Moorlands. Strange shaped hills to the west of the holiday cottages in Hurdlow are reef knolls formed millions of years ago when this part of the country was covered by seas, rich in marine life.
