Pre-Arrival 

Local transport is very limited but there is a bus service 7 days per week. The nearest bus stop is a 5 min walk away. Timetables can be provided in advance if required.

The nearest railway stations are in the neighbouring villages of Grindleford and Hathersage, these are only a 10-15 min drive away by car.

Taxis are readily available and contact details can be obtained if required.

We strongly recommend having your own transport to get the best from your stay with us and visit the Peak District. 

On arrival to the property, there is an entrance with double gates, sometimes these gates are closed to keep Skye, our cocker spaniel in.  If the gates are closed when you arrive please do feel free to open them and drive-in. 

There is ample room in our drive and a marked parking bay is provided for guests – please leave enough space so we can get our cars in and out and close the gates.
