Chelmorton and The Peak District
Chelmorton is a classic White Peak limestone village set in stunning upland scenery, and a very quiet and peaceful village. It is one of the highest villages not only in Derbyshire, but all England and this region is known locally as Top Country. One of the dominant features of the White Peak landscape are the limestone walls and there is nowhere better to see these than in and around Chelmorton.
The strip like crofts and patchwork of walls run at right angles off the main street and date back to medieval times. The village is built along this single street running up to the church of St John the Baptist, with its' graceful spire topped by a weather vane in the shape of a locust. Behind the church is Chelmorton Low (low in the Peak perversely signifies a height) and from here the delightful Illy Willy Water stream runs down through the village. Opposite the church is the village pub, The Church Inn is a family friendly pub serving great homemade dishes and local ales. It also has a great outdoor seating area for whiling away a summer evening. Booking a table is recommended.
Further afield you will find the pretty market town of Bakewell less than 10 minutes drive from the cottage. Here you will find an abundance of local businesses and independent retailers selling lots of lovely things. A 10 minute drive in the other direction brings you to Buxton, another lovely market town famed for its natural spa waters. Visit the stunning Buxton Opera House, stroll around the Pavilion Gardens or head to Pooles Cavern where you will find the Go Ape adventure course and lots of fabulous walking around the 2 million year old limestone cave!
Rose Cottage is a short drive (or an hours country walk!) to a fabulous pub The Royal Oak at Hurdlow which boasts an expansive menu of home-cooked food.

Amelia stayed in November '24
An absolutely lovely home equipped with everything we could possibly want and more! If you’re thinking of booking here - PLEASE DO IT! Richard was so helpful with recommending local things to do & even grabbing us some more wood for the fire. 10/10, highly recommend.
Lynds stayed in November '24
Lovely cottage in a very quiet village. Great base for walking in The Peaks. Lots of small touches made the visit special. Welcome pack was the best we have had. Sofas very comfortable and the open fire and wood supplied was welcome as it was chilly outside. Pillows and duvet all great. Even our dog was looked after with treats, poo bags and blankets to wipe paws. The Church Inn is friendly with decent food, but worth calling and booking.
Paley stayed in November '24
Lovely cottage in a great location , walks from the house. Very dog friendly and the treats and dog towels were appreciated. A lovely welcome basket full of goodies and a hand written card were great personal touches. Kitchen is very well equipped , house is warm, plenty of space to park. This is our second stay & would definitely recommend.
McEvoy stayed in November '24
An ideal cottage in the Peak District. The village is very quiet but it is in the perfect location for short drives to Buxton and Bakewell, as well as plenty of walks including Mam Tor and the Monsal Trail. The house has everything you need and was a cosy place to come back to after day trips.
Gudsell stayed in November '24
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Rose cottage, everything was as described and the welcome package was a lovely touch. The cottage was nice and warm and well equipped, we ate at the local pub the Church Inn which is nice pub food- they do stop serving food at 8pm though so be mindful of that. All in all a great stay in the Peak District!
Fiona stayed in November '24
Rose Cottage was perfect for our family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 7). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were made very welcome with a welcome card, hamper of Halloween snacks, Prosecco and other goodies which was really generous. The location in the village is beautiful, and the pub up the road was perfect to walk to one evening for a meal. Highly recommend.
david stayed in November '24
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. A generous welcome basket greeted us on arrival and everything was as advertised. The lounge area was comfortable, although the lack of TV channels without using a streaming service did cause us some frustration. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. We only used the master bedroom which was comfortable with good quality bedding. The cottage is in a great location with the local pub (Church Inn) just up the road and walking paths/tracks nearby. The only downside for us was a mistake of our own making by not realising the bathroom was downstairs which caused a few issues on the steep stairs during the night. Otherwise a great stay.
Martin stayed in October '24
Wonderful, characterful cottage in a beautiful area. Very well supplied place and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch
Shaan stayed in October '24
Had a great stay here! Good location, lovely fireplace with lots of wood and everything needed, well equipped kitchen and a good shower!
Katherine Thatcher stayed in October '24
We had such a lovely stay at Rose Cottage, a comfortable, convenient and cosy base for our stay in beautiful Derbyshire. The cottage was immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and generously equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. We really appreciated the welcome hamper, with lots of high quality goodies that we much enjoyed. We found some great walks form the door, and really enjoyed having a lovely, welcoming local pub just a stroll up the road, where we enjoyed 3 delicious meals. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay at Rose Cottage and would certainly like to return in the future.
Andrew stayed in September '24
We had a very enjoyable stay at Rose Cottage and the Peak District. A beautiful location perfect cottage to be able to visit attractions without having to travel far. Cottage as described. Very clean and tidy, peaceful, shower fabulous and bed very comfortable and the welcome hamper was so kind, thank you. Pub in the village well worth the visit but as others say recommend booking even on a Monday night so glad we did.
Warren stayed in September '24
The cottage was very nice and everything we needed was available
Larkin stayed in September '24
We had a lovely stay for two adults, a 6month old baby and our golden retriever, the cottage was spacious had everything we needed, the fireplace was a lovely addition as it was chilly some of the days. It was a great location to get to the Peak District attractions and walks from the doorstep. The Church Inn just up the road did great warming home cooked food and we ate in there often - if you’re eating there in the evening you will need to book a table!
Rob stayed in August '24
Beautiful quaint little cottage in a lovely location, perfect for a family of four, we had a great time. Stylish decor, great shower and well equipped with everything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable too! The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise, and our boys were delighted that there was a football in the garden. Great outside space in good weather and the heating was extremely effective on colder days! Would highly recommend the local pub for a drink or meal too.
Elliott stayed in August '24
The cottage was well presented and clean. The hosts were responsive and helpful, it is the perfect spot to use as a base to explore the peak district. Dog friendly and perfect with providing amenties to help look after your pet. I would definitely use this location again!
Nicky stayed in August '24
Just got home from a 4 day stay at Rose Cottage. Thank-you so much for the welcome hamper- lovely touch. Rose cottage was just perfect, everything we needed and more for a great stay away. Highly recommend a stay there. Great base to explore the Beak District and certainly will return to Rose Cottage to explore more of the Peak District
Peter stayed in August '24
A charming little cottage in a great location in the Peaks. Great for a short family trip - ten mins to Buxton or Bakewell. Comfortable, clean and modern with a lovely garden. And a three minute stroll to the Church Inn - one of my favourite pubs in the Peaks!
Osborn stayed in August '24
Lovely place in a beautiful area.
Nicky stayed in July '24
What a delightful cottage! Welcoming, clean and full of character. We had a fantastic 5 night stay. Would highly recommend
Kirby stayed in July '24
We had a lovely time (2 adults), staying from Mon-Fri in late July. Appreciated the generous hamper with personalised card on arrival. Eventually got used to the low door frames and uneven stair, but these features may have been more of an issue had we been less mobile. Good balance of rustic stone architecture with mod cons and spacious bathroom with walk in shower. Beautiful garden with 2 little calves in the croft behind the house, perfect for peaceful evenings with a glass of wine. Thank you Peak Venues.
Bethan stayed in July '24
Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful Peak District hamlet. Bedroom and bathroom were much bigger than expected and the whole cottage is nicely decorated with comfy bed, sofas etc. We enjoyed the gift basket and little touches like nice toiletries and boot tray. Local pub is brilliant and we enjoyed walks from the door. It wasn't an issue for us as our dog is happy on his long lead, but the garden (while private) is not totally secure - a jumpy dog might join the cow in the field next door - but this is mentioned in the description. Overall a very nice base for exploring this part of the Peak District.
Lovell stayed in June '24
A very well maintained and equipped cottage. Having an enclosed garden for our dogs was ideal and they had plenty of space. The welcome basket was really nice, one of the best we have had (including treats for our pups). Providing towels for dogs muddy paws and dog poo bags is another added bonus. We have booked via Peak Venues before so I was keen to use them again as I knew the standard of the property had been of a very good quality, this time (albeit a smaller cottage) was of a very similar standard.
Emma stayed in June '24
Rose Cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed and was just as described in the details. We enjoyed the walks directly from the cottage, clearly marked with public footpath signs, which took us through some awe inspiring countryside. We also enjoyed the pub in the village, which had excellent food, service and well kept beer. In fact it was very tempting to stay close to 'home'..but we did also venture out to the Monsal Trail ( lovely walks from Monsal Head) and Bakewell. Beforehand, Peak Venues provided all the details we needed in a clear and timely way. We'll definitely be coming back!
Jowitt stayed in June '24
Lovely place to stay, good off road parking. The pub just up the road was lovely, food was good but would require booking due to it being popular.
Steph stayed in June '24
Fantastic stay, we loved the cottage and easy parking. It’s spotless and lots of lovely touches like the very generous welcome hamper. The master bed was probably the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in away from home. Would highly recommend and love to stay again. Thanks ☺️
Nott stayed in May '24
We had a lovely time at Rose Cottage. It was quiet and peaceful with every amenity needed. The pub up the road is absolutely excellent too!

Dixon stayed in May '24
We (myself, my partner and our dog) had such a lovely stay at Rose Cottage, Peak Venues were very helpful and responsive. The welcome basket was an added bonus as well as the dog blankets/poo bags to use. Lovely village very peaceful will recommend to anyone and would be happy to return
Tuttiett stayed in April '24
The cottage was beautifully presented and extremely well equipped. We particularly appreciated the host's welcome pack and card, and felt comfortable from the moment we moved in. We are keen ramblers so were very pleased to find good walks locally, either directly from the cottage or just a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Church Inn at the top of the village. It seems a very popular venue so, although we did manage to get a free table, booking is advisable. All in all a great place to stay and one we thoroughly recommend!
Zschoche stayed in April '24
great stay, lots of amazing walks!

LLoyd-Brown stayed in March '24
A very nice cottage, brilliantly located between Bakewell and Buxton. The cottage is charming with original features, well decorated and very clean. Comfortable large bed also. Highly recommend the Church Inn just up the road for drinks and food, Sunday lunch was great. Dog friendly in one part of the pub. Might be worth booking for Sunday lunch as does get busy.

Carr stayed in March '24
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Rose Cottage with our toddler. The hosts were very accommodating, everything you need has been thought of and provided, plus the welcome hamper full of treats & drinks was very much appreciated. The cottage is super cozy and comfy, and in more agreeable weather the outside garden spaces would be great. The village is small but beautiful and a great spot for visiting local areas such as Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock Park Farm. Highly recommend a visit to the local pub just 5mins up the road. We would love to stay here again.
Dawe stayed in March '24
We had a lovely, comfortable five day stay at Rose Cottage. Chelmorton is so quiet and peaceful, nestled in the beautiful Dales - I think we saw one person and one dog the whole time we were there! You are also very well connected to Buxton and Bakewell, which are roughly a 10 min drives away for supermarkets and sightseeing. Rose Cottage was completely spotless, so cosy and extremely well equipped - we especially enjoyed using the log burner, playing board games, and the very generous hamper- thank you so much for this! The cottage has great parking and is in an ideal location to explore the Peak District - we’d never been before, and we can’t wait to come back again!
Condliffe stayed in February '24

We absolutely loved our stay at Rose Cottage. Beautiful location, beautiful cottage. Close to Bakewell and Buxton. The cottage was so well presented and cosy.

Allsopp stayed in March '23
The cottage was lovely once we found it! We’d recommend looking for Jenny’s cottage and then it’s directly opposite. The current place they say to look for has a sign that’s really faded so hard to see in the dark! Otherwise though the cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and we’d definitely come back again
Roebuck stayed in March '23

We loved our stay at Rose Cottage - it was a home from home with all the amenities we needed. The cottage is in a great location for getting out and about, yet rural enough that on clear night the stars were amazing. A bonus! Top Tip: the Queen's Arms in Taddington has a great takeaway service, and very reasonable priced beer! :-) A wonderfully relaxing time in a beautiful part of the world. Thank you.

Capell stayed in July '22
A delightful place to stay. Location is great for exploring the surrounding villages. The cottage itself is very family friendly and has everything you need. The decor and style is to a high standard and it felt very comfortable to stay in. The cottage was clean and very welcoming. The large bed in the master bedroom was very comfy and our girls slept beautifully in the bunk beds. It really did suit us as a family of 4. We were able to make the most of the lovely garden which is well looked after. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would say is locating the cottage isn’t particularly easy as the sign on the gate is quite small and as there are no numbers on any houses it’s tricky to know which one is yours! However I’d say look for ‘Jenny’s cottage’ which has blue gates as Rose Cottage is opposite! Thank you very much we had a lovely break.
Diane Burr stayed in June '22
I would highly recommend staying at Rose Cottage. Beautifully decorated, fantastic location, with more than enough room for 2 adults and 2 children. Great amenities - beds were comfy, along with big fluffy towels, very nice back garden. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Peak District, you should stay here!
Mason stayed in June '22

Cooper stayed in June '22
Rose cottage is located in a great location in a quiet village within the Peak District. The cottage is ideal for a small family of four or like ourselves two adults and their family pooch. Within this cottage you will feel at ease immediately. The cosy hallway invites you in where you’ll enjoy an evening on some comfy sofas or making yourself a meal in the modern kitchen which has every item you could possible need. Upstairs we slept in a calming bedroom with the most comfortable bed. There is a further small bedroom suitable for two younger members of a family. Out in the garden, if the weather allows, there is a small rear patio kitted with table and chairs, under a modern new pergola. The location of Rose Cottage was perfect to enable us to visit many different places over the short time we were there. The added bonus for us was the local village pub (Church Inn) which is within an easy walking distance away.

Rose cottage was a lovely place to stay. The cottage is really cosy and has all of the expected amenities, plus a BBQ which was great for warm evenings. The welcome guide was excellent and we used Sourced locally to deliver fresh produce which was in the house when we arrived. The village of Chelmorton is very pretty and the local pub has good food and a nice selection of local beers. We did a some good walks locally including Bamford edge and Chee Gorge.

We were having a break from our farm and glamping business and so happy we booked Rose Cottage. The cottage was perfect in every way. The garden was fabulous for the children and dogs, a nice enclosed walled area. Short walk to footpaths and the the local put which did fabulous hearty meals. Local residents were super friendly which was lovely. The cottage was bright, fresh and clean with everything you need. We read a few of the books and the children got through lots of the DVDS. We also hired a dog sitter whilst there which meant we could go out for the day on a few occasions. Dog sitter i booked through Charlotte and Pavillion Pets who were brilliant. Super comfortable beds and beautiful decor. Kitchen and bathroom had a lovely fresh and clean feel about them. Outside there was also a handy shed for locking your bikes up in. Even though we didn't get to meet the host communication was clear from both owner and Peakvenues. Thank you all so much for a memorable time in Chelmorton Hannah and family

We loved our stay in Rose Cottage. Beautifully decorated throughout.. some lovely touches. Very comfortable and cozy! The bed was so comfortable! The space was just right. Lovely garden in the front and back for our pug to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked. Smart TV was a bonus and we could watch films by the log fire. Plenty of walks from the cottage too. There was lots of books and maps to help choose local walks. Everything was just perfect… the only regret was not staying longer! Highly recommended !

The cottage was beautiful, set back from the street in a super quiet village the location was perfect! The cottage itself had plenty of room for cars and it’s own little gate to let yourself in. It was VERY clean and you can tell the owners had not held back on decorating the cottage, every part of it was lovely! The cottage had plenty of equipment to cook. The location itself was close to a lot of key walking areas and easy to drive to them. If you didn’t want to drive anywhere you could walk to some lovely walking places as well. We brought our dogs and they loved it also very dog friendly. We will be coming again that’s for sure, not one negative thing to say at all just perfect! 5* across everything Thanks Sophie and Josh

We stayed 3 nights at this perfectly cosy cottage and didn't want to leave. It was so warm and welcoming, especially the cosy lounge with the sparkly Christmas tree. The cottage is situated in a perfect location between Buxton and Bakewell, which are just a short drive away. It is on a charming street with other beautiful cottages and a great little pub at the top, which we went to a couple of times for drinks and great food. The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat with lots of walks and places to visit on the doorstep. Thank you!

Leonard stayed in July '21
We had a wonderful stay in the quintessential Peaks Rose Cottage. We arrived to plenty of advice for what to do locally. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms were beautifully decorated and really comfy. Chelmorton is well located for lots of great walks plus a pub at the top of the road. Our two kids loved the bunk beds and our dog had a great time in the garden which has a nice seating area. The cottage isn't quite as large as the photos made out but we loved the style and the attention to detail. We'd thoroughly recommend it.
Magee stayed in July '21
Fantastic cottage with good cooking facilities if you want a night in, or a good, friendly pub only 2 minutes up the road with some fantastic food and drinks. Thank you for a fantastic stay in the Peak District for a much needed break!

“Highly recommend - we had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage. The accommodation was immaculately clean, super comfortable and very well-equipped. Our puppy loved exploring the garden too. The village is quiet and peaceful, but ideally located between Buxton and Bakewell (which has everything you need in terms of groceries, cafes, etc). We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and sheep. Thanks so much for having us - we would love to return some day.”

This is a lovely modernised cottage out within a beautiful rural village. The cottage is situated in Chelmorton, a small quiet village allowing easy access to wherever you want to travel within the Peak District. The directions provided by the host made it easy to find with plenty of nearby roadside parking. We received a message from the host prior to our arrival, and assured us that we could contact them should we need anything during our stay :)

Taylor stayed in August '20
Had a lovely weekend stay at Rose Cottage, the attention to detail was second to none. The kitchen is full equipped with everything you could possibly need. The bed in the master bedroom is the extremely comfortable. The living room is cosy but with enough space for 4 people to sit and relax. Outdoor space is huge yet secluded...We will be coming back!

Both trails meet at Parsley Hay, the Tissington Trail runs along a 13 mile route from Ashbourne to Parsley Hay, while the High Peak Trail is 17.5 miles long route from the High Peak junction near Cromford to Dowlow. Surrounded by beautiful countryside the traffic-free trail is ideal for horse riders, cyclists and walkers of all abilities. It is also suitable for wheel chairs and pushchairs along the flat sections and the trail is mainly mud free which is quite rare in the Peak District.
