Description

Herbal Cottage is a delightful old stone cottage, part of the village’s amazing history but now totally renovated to create a superb holiday retreat. There is a cosy lounge, a well-fitted dining kitchen, a contemporary ground floor bathroom, three well presented bedrooms and a first floor cloakroom/WC.

Set in the ‘picture postcard’ village of Eyam, it is just a wander down the lane to the local stores, café, tea rooms and post office. Eyam Hall’s ‘Courtyard’ with its bar, café, restaurant and craft centre is also worth a visit, as is the local museum dedicated to the heroism of the villagers during the plague of 1666. Climb to the top of Eyam Edge for breath-taking Peak District views.

Deep in the Peak District National Park, there are few better places than this for a countryside holiday. Live life as a Blue John miner in Castleton’s caverns, relive the famous ‘Dambusters’ by the Derwent Valley Dams, spot the white hares as you wander across the moorlands of Kinder Scout. If you fancy something less strenuous then just sit on the patio and watch village life go by on the quiet lane outside. But remember that Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Bakewell’s amazing Monday market and famous puddings are less than a half hour’s drive away.

Reviews

Had a lovely short stay at Herbal Cottage. The home was very comfortable and cosy and we felt at home right away. The kitchen had everything you needed and the bathroom was modern with a great shower. The little stove fire was great for the evening and the sofas were very comfy. It was great to be right in the village with the tea shops and pub a stones throw away. Enjoyed wandering round and seeing all the history of the village. We didn’t visit the museum as we had the dog with us, but there were lots of boards around the village telling you about the history. Took the bus to Bakewell one day which was lovely.

Miss D,

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Clean and very comfortable beds.

Mrs B,

Herbal Cottage is set in the perfect location, 60 seconds walk from three fantastic cafes and about 90 seconds from a country pub. The cottage has lovely character, quaint but spacious and very comfortable. It was well equipped for our needs and we would happily return.

Mr P,

Lovely cottage tv works better when connected to the internet using iplayer and itv x had a great christmas week there 2024

Mr R,

Herbal Cottage is an absolutely wonderful base for exploring Eyam and the surrounding area. The cottage was really clean and comfy with everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

Mrs P,

Great cottage! The home had everything you could want to make you feel like you were at home. The location was great, lots of history and good walks.

Mrs C,

Excellent, clean, well equipped, homely cottage in the heart of the village of Eyam

Mrs N,

Excellent location, small garden for the dogs and several short local walks were ideal. Cottage has everything, cooked one night but pub and cafes on doorstep are great. Definitely recommend and on our favourite list

Mr M,

Well situated in the village but parking will be away from the cottage. Local pub serves good food and are really friendly.

Mrs L,

Great value for money, especially considering the great location. Some improvements in the house would make a stay even better.

Mrs H,

The cottage is very homely and made us feel like we was at home. It is in a lovely location. There is a local pub which serves food which is lovely and there is a couple of Cafes around the village the cottage is located. In a lovely and quiet village there is a museum which is dedicated to the plague, which is interesting.

Ms W,

Had a very nice stay, there were 5 adults in our family party, 3 generations. A relaxing time was had by all.

Mr S,

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a holiday. We had a fantastic holiday playing the games from the cottage and BBQ. Great little village where everyone was so friendly, great walks for all. Pub 2 minutes away, but very quite. Great place if you want to get away from it all.

Miss C,

A great cottage in a fantastic location

Mrs M,

Excellent - lovely cottage for a weekend stay in the peaks

Mrs T,

There doesn’t seem to be a parking place by the cottage as advertised though it didn’t really matter to us as we found places close by. The cottage felt smaller than the photos implied… but it was thoughtfully designed and cozy.

Mrs G,

A beautiful cottage with everything we needed for our week in the Peak District! A great location and a lovely setting.

Mr C,

Beautiful cottage in central Eyam village. Nice walk on doorstep to stoney Middleton with lovely fish and chip shop.

Mrs S,

Location

EYAM

Eyam is a peaceful and picturesque village with jumbles of cottages stretching along the attractive high street, a couple of village shops and two pubs that will always give you a warm welcome. However, its real claim to fame is all the history centred around the Plague. It is said that the Black Death was transported to the village in some rolls of cloth and so the villagers isolated themselves from the outside world. Many died but at least the disease didn’t spread.

There is lots of history to explore in the village but if you fancy other days out then drive along to lovely Tideswell, have a wander down peaceful Water-cum-Jolly Dale or venture up on to Bretton Clough where you will find the Barrel Inn. The food and drink are great and only surpassed by the breath-taking views over wave after wave of Peak District countryside.

When you are up there, you might think that you are virtually in the middle of nowhere but there are lots of visitor attractions close by like Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, the famous market town of Bakewell and Buxton with its incredible Crescent and Opera House. Go along to the Derwent Valley Dams where the Dambusters practiced with their ‘Bouncing Bomb’ or venture up on to the wild moorlands of Kinder Scout to see the Kinder Downfall and perhaps spot one of the White Hares – if you are really lucky!

Local pubs: The Coolstone in Eyam. The Moon Inn in Stoney Middleton. The Barrel Inn at Bretton.
