We had a fantastic stay - the house is in the most beautiful location with stunning views and a brilliant pub ten mins walk away that did great food. Lots of great walks/footpath and bridle ways run really close to the house. We took two very well behaved dogs who enjoyed the house and garden too. Amazing that this is so close to Manchester and so well connected to public transport! Would love to come back another time.

Had a great stay here for a hiking weekend with friends. The location is perfect for easy access to numerous walks, as well as being close to amenities in nearby Glossop and Tintwistle. The house was spotless and well stocked, and our host made sure to check we had everything we needed before and during our stay - would highly recommend and will be booking again if we ever come back up to the area!

The cottage was lovely and clean when we arrived. Private getaway which is just what we wanted - beautiful and quiet surroundings.
Kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need for a decent meal.
Loved getting a fire going in the evenings to wind down.
Zero complaints from our group - everyone was delighted with their rooms and the house in general.

We had a fantastic stay at High Peak House. Our host gave really clear directions which were easy to follow and the property was presented as described. It’s a beautiful home, spacious but cosy at the same time. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking equipment, with a large table for family meals. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. The surrounding countryside is serene, peaceful and right on the doorstep. We hope to return again to this outstanding cottage.

As a group of 6 adults and 2 dogs, we absolutely loved our stay. The area is fantastic - such amazing views! And the house really is beautiful. We also really enjoyed The Bull's head down in the village.

A historical farm cottage with 4 bedrooms, one down stairs three upstairs. Upstairs is a very spacious bathroom with walk in shower washbasin and toilet. Also a huge corner bath. Downstairs there is a shower room with wc and wash basin. Utility room with washer. A boot room to store dirty boots to dry off and doggie towels. All areas were clean and facilities very good.
We had amazing weather mid June. Moorland walks to woods, streams and waterfalls. On the reservoir below there is a lovely cafe open 10 until 5. If you enjoy traditional pubs go to the Bulls Head just 10 minute walk or quick nip in the car. Ample car parking. Beautiful home made food. Very friendly staff. On the night we went there was a folk group playing .

We had a great stay here for a long weekend as a group of 6 adults. It was a perfect location for exploring the local area with lots of great walks straight from the property and a town close enough for some food etc! The welcome basket is a lovely touch and the place had all the essentials we needed. The property has great views and really nice communal areas for relaxing and spending time together in. Overall would definitely recommend and would happily visit again!

The house is great, great location and has everything you’d need and more. It was super clean and the photos just don’t do the views justice! Bedrooms are spacious and the lounge was a great social space with the log fire, board games and books. Ideal for families, groups of friends or a romantic trip away. Great value for money.

The house is very nice and situated in a marvelous location. Direct close to hiking trails, near the village of Tintwistle. The facilities in the house are super! We were with 8 adults. Its not a cheap house, but worth every penny.

Beautiful house and excellent garden, which was ideal for us to sit outside and admire the views while the dogs ran around safely. Friendly pub down the road (Bull’s Head) with lovely food.

A house of a very high standard, located in beautiful countryside. Excellent and very prompt communication from the host. The house was spotless and furnished to a high standard. By far the best property we have stayed in for many years. Highly recommended.

We had an absolutely brilliant stay and the communication in advance from our host was great. The photos really do not do the house justice! Stunning location with beautiful views and so many walks nearby. We stopped off at the local Bulls Head in Tintwistle on the way back from our walk and were very well looked after.
The house is well laid out and was very well equipped. It was lovely and cosy with the heating/fire on despite the minus temperatures (and lots of snow!). Overall a perfect location for our group get together with our dogs who came with us. We highly recommend a stay!

This is a stunning beautiful place - so nice to wake up to views over the hills and reservoir and some great walks straight from the house. The house itself was clean, well prepared and good equipment in the kitchen - we loved the two wood burner stoves in the kitchen and lounge. Our host was super helpful and great at communicating. Overall a fantastic place to stay - we just had a couple of nights there but would happily have stayed two weeks!

The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and warm and cosy. Location is beautiful and you can do lovely walks from the property and not move the car for the duration of your stay. Perfect for the 4 legged member of our group, loved playing Frisbee in the enclosed garden. We even managed to enjoy the sunshine using the table and chairs outside despite it being October. Lovely views in all directions. Fabulous place for friends and family to get together.

High Peak House was perfect. The photos do not do this property justice as it is much bigger and more modern and really beautifully laid out. We were celebrating my mother-in-law's 80th and it is the perfect home for a group of eight people.
The beds are so comfy and the lounge with the log burner was such a cosy space to hang out. As always with these cottages everybody ended up in the kitchen and there is plenty of room around the big table to play games and eat together.
The location is also perfect with lots of lovely walks near the house. We booked a table at the Bulls Head and the food was spectacular with Mick and Jade really looking after us. They also let us put balloons up on the table and were very friendly.
All in all we had the perfect weekend. So grateful to have found this house and such a kind and considerate host. 5 stars for everything from us, and like I say the photos cannot give a true impression of just how beautiful and perfect this house was in terms of location amongst all this beautiful nature and with an amazing view of the reservoir. But also in terms of the layout and being equipped with everything we needed for a fabulous weekend.
Thank you so much. We will be back,
love the Pickles family xx

What an incredible stay! Our host was extremely helpful from the moment we booked, going above and beyond with communication and recommendations.
The house was absolutely stunning and in the most perfect location with gorgeous views. Lots of lovely added touches too like a food and drink hamper, blankets in the lounge etc. It was perfect for our little dog too with the garden being fenced (without spoiling the views).
Would definitely return, and highly recommend for anyone wanting a nice, quiet getaway in this lovely, spacious house!

A really lovely spacious and clean house. Contained large garden at the front of the house was great for the grandchildren and the three dogs. Fantastic views from just about every window in the house.
The host was brilliant and kept in contact and recommended the Crossgate Farm Smokehouse and Grill which we went to on our last evening. It is well worth a visit and is just a five minute walk from the house. The food and setting is great and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The grandchildren loved the goats and ferrets.
We took three dogs with us and they were also made most welcome. The cottage is great for a location with walks right from the doorstep and many great walks just a short ride away. We had a fabulous week irrespective of the inclement weather. Something for everyone.

We had a such an amazing week staying at High Peak House. The house was really comfortable, homely and huge. We loved sitting in the porch overlooking the valley; it really did feel secluded even though it was a short walk into the village.
We walked every day, either directly from the house or from Edale, Castleton or around Derwent Water. The footpath behind the house takes you straight out onto the moor and we found the secret waterfalls.
Our host was fantastic, checking in with us before we went and when we got there to make sure everything was OK and had some great suggestions for local activities and restaurants.
We would highly recommend Pixie’s bakery in the village, the cakes are amazing, and we also went to the Smokehouse BBQ at the local farm which was delicious.
We’ll definitely be back at a different time of year, so we can enjoy the log burning fires!

Perfect place in a perfect location, so peaceful and with walks directly from the doorstep. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable home from home with plenty of space for everyone, even dog towels provided. Nice welcome pack upon arrival too.
Great host, very easy to communicate with and very happy to help in any way and provide helpful information. Would highly recommend both the property and host.

We have just returned from a fantastic few days at this beautiful house. There wasn’t a single thing that we needed that wasn’t already there for us and the home is of a very high standard. The host was extremely communicative and helpful prior to our stay and was happy to accommodate a few requests.
Every member of the party were discussing returning for another trip and the only problem we had was at the time it came to leave - nobody wanted to go. Huge thank you.

Our stay at High Peak House was excellent. We were especially appreciative of the cleanliness, the layout and the amenities available at this accommodation.
The rooms were very spacious and we were comfortably able to live with 8 people for the weekend. The kitchen was well designed and had modern appliances that allowed us to cook and eat comfortably. The toilets were especially pleasing to use with towels available and a beautiful interior design. The cottage is located in an very accessible location to Manchester and the Peak District with a beautiful garden.

We have just come back from such a wonderful weekend at this 5 star holiday cottage.
The accommodation was clean, tidy and well equiped. Great communal spaces and a large grass garden are great for families. We took our 1 year old son with us and highchair, stairgate and travel cot were all provided for us.
There are stunning views from every window and it is located in such a peaceful location. Easy to find, and simple self check in. Local pub and cafe within walking distance and some beautiful countryside walks right on the door step.

We really enjoyed staying in High Peak House with its friendly host, open garden, fantastic views and easy car parking. The house was spacious, light and airy, well-equipped and cared for and in a wonderful location.
The rooms were great and very comfortable and we were delighted to be able to eat our evening meals outside on the terrace as the weather was so good. The setting was ideal, in open country with plenty of walks nearby and yet within walkable distance of the village of Tintwistle with larger shops, restaurants and sights to visit within easy driving distance. We loved it!
