The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, with the cottage being situated in a picturesque village, opposite a welcoming pub, and within easy reach of walking trails and Peak District attractions.

A charming cottage beautifully restored in the little village of Foolow with its lovely duck pond and local pub.
After a hard day exploring the attractions in the Peak District, Dormy Cottage is the perfect place to relax in and unwind. With its snuggly lounge, unique kitchen and pleasant bedrooms and bathroom, this charming 18th-century cottage has been carefully restored and tastefully finished. Located in the small, picturesque village of Foolow, the cottage is only a short walk from the village green, complete with duck pond.
The glorious countryside is a paradise for walkers; good routes lead up to Bretton and The Barrel Inn or over the fields to the delightfully named Silly Dale. Further afield, you might like to visit famous Chatsworth House or Haddon Hall, Bakewell’s famous market or Buxton’s Victorian Crescent. The Derwent Valley Dams, Winnots Pass and Castleton’s caverns are also nearby.
