About this property

Former Coach House now a cosy holiday cottage in an idyllic location

Cottage | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 4

Formerly a coach house, this charming stone built holiday cottage will enchant visitors with its lovely location just above the mere in the picturesque village of Monyash, which has a popular pub/restaurant, daytime cafe and superb children's playground. The cottage is ideally located for hiking and cycling starting right from its front door.

This well-appointed cottage is equally suitable for a quiet retreat or a family holiday, with short breaks also available. The cottage sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms, a twin and a double. The cosy sitting room offers free sat TV and DVD facilities,whilst the well equipped kitchen /diner provides a comfortable cooking and eating area. Wi-Fi is available. Outside the cottage benefits from off road parking, use of a large lawned garden with patio and barbecue. There is secure storage for bicycles etc. .
The cottage is centrally heated.

The Coach House is located close to the Limestone Way walking trail and in the centre of the White Peak area. The beautiful town of Bakewell, famous for its puddings and pies, is 4.5 miles away where, in quaint lanes, there are superb restaurants and pubs, interesting, independent shops, a golf course and a superb Monday market. The popular historic houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are just the other side of Bakewell.

Walkers have a huge choice of Derbyshire Dales and moorlands to choose from and cyclists have many trails, including the Tissington trail which passes just outside the village and where bicycles may be hired.

Rest & Revive

Compact and full of all amenities required. The weather was a bit of a surprise to us as coming up from The Midlands we'd had days of rain so to see deep frozen snow was amazing.But we still managed to get out and about.The holiday cottage had everything you could need. And The Bull Pub meals were something else.A thank you to Ruth for the chocolates and to Peter for clearing the snow and gritting.We would happily return for a visit in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Yarwood

Host profile image
We have lived in Monyash since 2002 and prior to that, for 7 years, just a couple of miles away in the village of Chelmorton We purchased the cottage , together with our own home, Mere Croft (adjacent) in 2013. The timing falling fortuitously with an opportunity for me to leave my employment after 25 years. So we took the plunge !

Since that time we have enjoyed welcoming visitors to the Coach House throughout the year and look forward to seeing many of our guests returning for second, third or even their tenth visit!

Why they chose this property

The cottage offers peace and quiet yet is close to a wide variety of Peak District and Derbyshire Dales attractions. Once here however, for the start of many cycling and walking routes there is no need to stray further than the cottage front door. The cottage is in the heart of Monyash village so just a short stroll to the single village pub and cafe both popular with locals and visitors alike, for food or just drinks and with the village playground located just behind.

As owners we live just across the drive. We are always respectful of visitors' privacy yet on hand for advice , suggestions or just a friendly chat.

What makes this property unique

The cottage benefits from generous off road parking. We are also able to offer lockable storage for bicycles/ fishing equipment etc.The large garden space for play and relaxation with patio table and chairs.
