First Floor:
Bedroom 1 – with king-sized bed, walk through wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in rain shower.

Workspace:

Outside Space:
The cottage has its own private garden and patio area, complete with outside dining for 8 people, a gas BBQ and a wood fired pizza oven for perfect evenings outside. (Pizza oven and BBQ available April – October). There is also a secure bike shed with racking to take 8 bikes, heavy duty padlock, a washing station and basic tools and equipment. The back gate is straight onto the footpath for easy access to the High Peak Trail and beyond.
Other details to note:
There is parking for two cars on the road outside the cottage. Please be aware this is not allocated parking so cannot be guaranteed, but is not usually a problem. If you have more than two cars, please park the additional vehicles further up the road outside the pub car park, out of respect for our neighbours.
Please note – the parking is on the opposite side of the road, so there is no way of charging an electric vehicle at the property.
There is good, free Wi-Fi throughout the property (41Mb), but no mobile signal in the area.
A full basket of logs is included in your booking for use in the log burner and pizza oven, further logs can be purchased if required during your stay. Gas for the BBQ is also included.
Up to 2 well behaved dogs are welcome, on the understanding they remain downstairs and are kept off the furniture. We charge £35 per dog, payable on arrival.
Sorry, we don't allow smoking, including e-cigarettes.
Fern Cottage is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, but please be aware we are not a party venue. Please limit noise outside after 10pm.

Loved everything about the cottage. Met by the host James who was very helpful and very impressed with all the added extras that were left for us…..bread, eggs, coffee pods and tea bags to name a few. The log burner was an added bonus and made the lounge lovely and cosy.Would definitely return in the future. Also had an amazing Sunday lunch at The Old Gate pub which is opposite the cottage.

Beautiful Cottage

Loved the property, very well provisioned and everything was very high quality. The village and area were also lovely, and the pub over the road was a gem. The owners were very helpful and accommodating.
