    The cottage has a great location to explore the dales right on your doorstep. . The beds were soooo comfortable, with excellent pillows. It was a home from home with everything we needed in the kitchen. We really enjoyed cooking on the EverHot...

    Location was great for enjoying the Peak District area. Cottage was comfortable for two adults , heating needed some attention by the owner via remote app. Well equipped with easy onsite parking.
  • Corinne

    Very comfy beds, excellent bathroom, fully stocked with everything you need as a real home, not a holiday let. The extra touches like the wine and marmalade were appreciated too.

My husband and I owned Bankside Cottage for a few years now. We love visiting the cottage and exploring the fabulous Peak District. We can walk and explore from our front door and not have to drive which is a great bonus. Sharing this cottage with guests/families who also love walking and exploring is a real pleasure.
Come and take in the breathtaking landscape of the Peak District. You can take a spectacular walk over some of the 500 sq. miles of countryside and National Park, enjoy the rich cultural history of the area in the wonderful Chatsworth House (where Pride and Prejudice was filmed) and the wealth of other stately homes. There are also bustling, bright towns, cosy country pubs and great shopping all around. It is a trip that will be truly magical and compelling with so much to do in this glorious area of the English countryside. Milldale, is the first welcoming view and entrance to Dovedale looking down the wooded ravine, cross over Viators Bridge to walk down through Dovedale to the stepping stones or north along the quieter stretches of Dovedale. They have become one of the most iconic features of Dovedale in this area of outstanding natural beauty. Fun for adults and children alike, hop from one stone to the next to continue exploring the rest of Dovedale. Quality Walking, Cycling Fishing and Resturants all on the doorstep.
