	English Tourism Council 4 Stars These four high quality Award-winning cottages are set in a wonderful location in the centre of the White Peak, surrounded by lovely dales and hills in all directions, yet less than half a mile from the pub in Biggin and one mile from the facilities in the highly popular and much visited village of Hartington.

The Cottages

We have four holiday cottages, two for four person occupancy, one for three person occupancy and one for two person occupancy. Despite a consistent grading of the cottages by the English Tourist Board as 4 Stars, the owners have constantly striven to upgrade and improve their standards and facilities. All the cottages have two colour TVs, Freeview Sky (one has the Sky Sports Package), DVDs, videos, microwaves, radios, stone sinks and hardwood units, and all other facilities appropriate to a high quality conversion. The owners particularly pride themselves on their standards of housekeeping.

Dale View (sleeps 4) - so named because of the views of the surrounding dales. This cottage has an upstairs lounge (featuring a substantial old exposed beam seen on picture adjacent) and kitchen area to take advantage of the views. The bedrooms and shower room are on the ground floor. There are two means of entry and exit, on the ground floor or up attractive external stone steps to the living area.

Liffs Cottage (also sleeping 4) - so named because of the view of Liffs Hill two miles away. This cottage, again with a partly exposed old beam has the more conventional layout of lounge/kitchen on the ground floor and the two bedrooms and a fully equipped bathroom and shower on the first floor.

The Dairy - shown on the right on the photograph of the cottages, is for two-person occupancy, but it is in fact of at least similar size to the cottages mentioned above, and has often been described by our guests as being a 'second honeymoon cottage'.
The cottage has a decent sized galleried bedroom overlooking the large open plan lounge (twenty feet by twenty feet), with a log burner with stone surround as a focal feature in the middle of the room. The floor of the lounge is polished stone flags (with quality rugs in appropriate places), some of the stone walls are exposed, as are the extensive wood beams. The cottage also benefits from Sky TV. The kitchen / dining area is well equipped, and most of the crockery is china. There is a large sized bathroom with Italian floor tiles, containing five piece suite (separate shower cubicle and bidet).

The Milking Parlour - sleeps 3 - a new barn conversion, all on the ground floor. This benefits from central heating, a 'wet room' (smart shower room where shower area is separated from the rest of the room by glass blocks, and therefore no cubicle is needed) stone worktops in the kitchen area in addition to the stone sinks and hardwood units, and much more. There is one double bedroom and a good sized single bedroom.

The Place

The cottages are situated amongst gloriously rolling countryside with attractive views down various dales. We are located between the highly popular village of Hartington and its smaller, quieter neighbour, Biggin. (A large part of the television series Peak Practice was filmed in Hartington (with a smaller amount in Biggin) but traditionally the village has perhaps been more highly regarded however for its famous cheese factory and shop, duck pond and as a start for a number of walks of varying lengths).

Numerous footpaths and bridle ways are on our doorstep and offer unrivalled walking in the best part of the White Peak. The highly popular Tissington Trail, which runs for 17 miles, is used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and is less than 1 mile from us. Two further trails, the High Peak Trail and the Manifold Valley Trail (both of similar distance), are within 3 miles. These three tracks are ideal for family cycling as is the network of quiet minor roads leading off at various places from the trails.

We have a small wood and just 12 acres of pasture land. On two of the fields our two horses and a few sheep graze. A third field is for hay, and the fourth is a wild flower meadow forming part of a larger nature reserve managed by English Nature. The reserve runs through Biggin Dale and after one and a half miles it reaches the famous River Dove near the meeting point of Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale.

The walk down Wolfscote Dale beside the River Dove eventually leads you to the most famous dale of the Peak, Dovedale. The Dove and Dovedale are renowned for their beauty. You will discover sheer pinnacles of rock, lions heads, caves and more. The Dales offer interest and lovely scenery in all seasons and are just as attractive on a crisp, snow-covered winter's day as in summer sunshine. Each season reveals new beauties and features.
