LIVING SPACE

For a small cottage, the sitting room is a generous, comfortable and inviting space, the deep velvet sofas are perfect for relaxing on after a long day of exploring.

Central to the room is a beautiful natural stone stone fireplace, in a traditional Peak District style, which houses a large 5kw Clearview log burner providing warmth and charm during cooler months - a starter pack of logs are provide for your first fire.

Should you wish to hunker down, our collection of board games, books, and DVDs will keep you entertained for hours.

The deep windowsills and a cozy window seat are perfect for settling in with a good book or simply enjoying views of the village.

From the sitting room is a quaint staircase leading to the first floor. Please note this staircase, in our 400 year old cottage, is a little steeper than 'normal' and has a rope handrail.

For the comfort of all guests, outdoor shoes are not generally worn on the carpeted area of the house, so don’t forget your slippers!

UPSTAIRS

Upstairs you'll find 2 cosy bedrooms, both furnished with kingsize beds and soft cotton bed linen. Each has a bijou wardrobe and blackout lined roman blinds.

Bedroom One | King size bed, with a fabulous 'goldilocks' hybrid mattress... it's reportedly never too soft or too hard... but just right. With an exposed stone wall, slim wardrobe and views towards fields.

Bedroom Two | King Size Bed with the same sleep inducing hybrid mattress with access from the foot of the bed only. Reading lamps are mounted on a panelled headboard. There is also a high level loft bed, accessed via a tall ladder. This full length single, is ideal for adults and older children. A travel cot can also fit in this room. Clothes storage is cleverly tucked below the loft bed.

Each bed has crisp white 100% cotton bed linen and Anti-allergy unique down-like duvets and pillows.

Both bedrooms are equipped with hairdryers.

The bathroom has a walk-in shower with both a rainfall shower and smaller wall-mounted shower head. The water pressure is amazing... you'll want to stay in there for hours.

The underfloor heating and heated towel rail keeps things nice and cosy. The bathroom has an exposed stone wall with a deep recess, was it a originally window or just a shelf? we may never know, but it's handy storage.

White cotton bath sheets & hand towels and a bath mat are provided during your stay.

To cut down on our carbon footprint, we have paired up with a super local company who provide our toiletries. These are refillable bottles for all our guests to use. Should you wish some for yourself, please get in contact with us to arrange purchasing your own bottles.

Babies and children are welcome at Holborn Cottage. Older children adore the loft bed, with its wooden ladder leading to a full length single mattress. A handy shelf houses an owl lamp for bedtime reading.

There is a selection of children's games, story books and dvd's housed in the sideboard downstairs. and when the weather allows there is a newly refurbished play park across Mires Road.

A travel cot and high chair can be provided upon request, please provide your own bed linen.

Note about our tiny visitors safety

Due to the nature of an old cottage, it is not possible to affix a baby gates to the stairs.

Please take extra care around the log burner, the exterior does get extremely hot and close supervision of children when it is lit is essential.

LAUNDRY and HOUSEKEEPING

We provide tea towels, a dishcloth, Washing up liquid, some dishwasher tablets.

Should you be desperate to do boring tasks while you are away, a combination washer dryer is located in the kitchen. We also provide an iron and ironing board. There is a washing line in the courtyard, and foldup drying rack under the stairs.

OUTDOOR SPACE

A quaint South facing flagstone courtyard is accessed directly at the front of the cottage. Surrounded with stone walls, and trellis fencing, the gated suntrap with al fresco seating is equally as gorgeous place for a morning coffee or sundowner.

Just across the quiet, dead end lane, is a table and 5 chairs for outdoor eating.

Garden chair cushions, a sun parasol and a small portable BBQ are provided during summer months.

Noise Policy - due to the quiet location, late-night noise must be confined to inside the building by 10 pm. We hope you will embrace village life and respect our neighbours.

Please dont set off fireworks, drones or Chinese Lanterns; you are in a National Park with wildlife and livestock close by.

PARKING

There is a gravelled parking space provided. This takes a regular sized car, however the lane is narrow and if parking isn't your forte there is ample free readily accessible parking on the road and a small parking area 30 seconds walk away.

The cottage is super cosy during the winter.
Whilst we can't guarantee snow...or Jude Law... ( think of the house in the film "The Holiday"), its a great place to retreat from chilly weather.
The sitting room has a large Clearview log burner so you can enjoy the look and warmth of a fire; cute wooden shutters on the sitting room window shut out the cold so you can curl up on a sofa and relax.
At the beginning of December we ensure the cottage is feeling festive, with a fully dressed Christmas tree, complete with fairy lights and decorations.
The dining table is easily big enough for family meals to suit any occasion. There is a good selection of serving plates and dishes, with wine, champagne and water glasses.
We would however recommend bringing any favourite cookware or the traditional family tablecloth to finish off your festive decor.
