Snipe Cottage is warm, comfortable and has an outside area where a dog can happily enjoy a game of catch-that-stick. The views are impressive and the location gives easy access to Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock and other smaller places. Great eateries nearby!

The Views? Wow

The Property is situated perfectly in the peaks with amazing panoramic views. You are surrounded by peaks, big skies & wildlife as well as the permanent residence on the Farm, horses, sheep (shout out to Jack the Ram, friendliest sheep I have met) & chickens. Inside the cottage is cosy, well equipped & clean. Beds are comfy, 2 bathrooms always a bonus & it's quiet. We are already planning our next trip.
