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.

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.
