  • "Delightful cottage with excellent facilities."

    Everything you might need is provided. The village is excellent and location of cottage couldn't be better. Very central but very quiet.

    Hi Faith Thank you so much for your review of your break. I'm pleased you all had a great time and enjoyed visiting Castleton. I hope to welcome you all again to Croft Cottage. Chris, Property Owner

  • "We quickly relaxed into this excellent cottage which was very comfortable and warm too when the weather had turned cooler."

    The hot tub and pool table were great additions! The position of the cottage was perfect being set away from the busyness of the village but easy walk to all the facilities and excellent walks too. Plentiful parking was also a bonus especially in this village. Only slight disappointment was the grass and wider garden which were overgrown but likely the recent wet weather had prevented recent maintenance. Shame the weather was mixed but didn’t detract from an enjoyable week. Would highly recommend this cottage.

    Hi Alan Thank you for your feedback of your break at Croft Cottage. It's great being set away from the village, yet right in the centre to enjoy all that Castleton has to offer. Yes, unfortunately the gardeners were unable to mow the lawn due to poor weather but they regularly maintain the garden when possible. I hope to welcome you all again soon. Chris, Property Owner

    It is a really well equipped and spacious cottage with a fabulous big garden, perfect for our dog and the kids! Also a great location being right in the middle of Castleton so we enjoyed being able to walk to pubs, restaurants and shops and it is a great base for exploring the Peak District! We enjoyed Mam Tor, Peveril Castle, Padley Gorge and local caves. We would definitely recommend and would love to visit again.

    Hi Ruth Thank you for your feedback on your break to Croft Cottage. We are very lucky to be right in the centre of the village and able to enjoy all that Castleton has to offer on the doorstep. Look forward to welcoming you again soon. Chris, Property Owner

  • "Croft Cottage was stunning and in a fantastic location."

    The garden was really dog friendly as was the cottage. Chris really looked after us with a lovely message and a beautiful welcome pack. Castleton is a quaint village with 7 pubs (all dog friendly) and they all offer food and a warm welcome. The village is set amongst some stunning views and great walks. I highly recommend Croft Cottage for anyone wanting to visit the Peak District. Thank you Chris for allowing us to use your beautiful cottage.

    Hi Sally Thank you for your lovely feedback for Croft Cottage, I'm glad you all had a great time. Castleton really is a beautiful place to visit and very dog friendly.

  • "What can I say?"

    Croft cottage is absolutely beautiful. It’s a quaint and tranquil (but large!) cottage in a stunning part of the country. Chris the owner was fantastic, very helpful and accommodating. Some fantastic touches like the firepit package- we enjoyed toasting marshmallows at night. And a welcome basket with Prosecco and nibbles! You couldn’t find a better holiday home with everything you could want if you didn’t want to venture out. Or for venturing out and exploring without having to take the car! It’s central to walks and caves etc. I would definitely recommend, thank you for allowing us to relax and make memories as a family, amazing xxx

    Hi Penny Thank you for taking the time to review Croft Cottage. It sounds like you and your family made the most of your break in Castleton. and your dogs (Stitch and Ronnie) enjoyed running around the garden. I hope you will come back and visit again soon. Chris. Property Owner

  • "Wow, Croft Cottage has to be the best cottage we have ever stayed in."

    The location was perfect, literally in the centre of Castleton but you wouldn’t know it. As soon as you shut the gates you are in a little oasis of harmony. The cottage is extremely comfortable, with everything you could possibly want and your dogs will love the huge garden. With all the walking by day, sitting in the hot tub with the castle for a view in the afternoon and then the cosy lounge in the evening. It was just perfect. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return. I can’t thank you enough Chris for giving us Croft Cottage.

    Clare, this is an amazing review of Croft Cottage - thank you so much! I'm so pleased you and your family had a fabulous time and enjoyed the beautiful views of Peveril Castle from the garden. I do hope you will all come back to Croft Cottage again soon. Chris, Property Owner

    The cottage was very well equipped, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing break, the welcome basket was a nice touch.

    It is set in a great location within a lovely garden with a view of Peveril Castle. The hot tub was very welcome after our walks and the table tennis table provided much hilarity. The owner clearly goes to a lot of trouble to make guests feel comfortable and there are many extra touches - fabulous welcome basket, dog treats, quality furnishings and equipment etc. We would love to return, perhaps in the summertime when we can make more use of the garden. Highly recommended.

    Definitely one of the best cottages we've stayed at, it had everything we needed and was cosy and comfortable. Great location close to the many pubs of Castleton, but also secluded and quiet.

    !! It’s in the centre of Castleton but also in a very quiet area, the property is beautifully appointed incredibly clean and worked really well. it has a really big garden which is dog friendly and lots of outside space to sit and also enjoy the hot tub. Our host made proactive contact with us and even made the property available early to arrive and late to leave. The hamper was lovely, and it is fair to say that this is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We will definitely return.

The kitchen is well equipped and includes a dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine for guest use.

The dining room seats eight comfortably with dining chairs and bench seating for more formal dining.

The lounge boasts a woodburning stove, Smart TV with plenty of DVD's along with a selection of books and magazines for guests to enjoy some downtime.

One of the king-size bedrooms has a private en-suite bathroom with shower.

The other two bedrooms, one king and one small double share a spacious bathroom with shower, along with a separate downstairs shower room.

On your doorstep is an abundance of shops, pubs and restaurants to try.

Castleton is home to the iconic Speedwell Cavern, with its stunning underground lake, and the ancient ruins of Peveril Castle.

Castleton village is in the heart of the Peak District National Park, which is heaven for walkers, cyclists, paragliders, bird watchers, rock climbers and cavers to enjoy.

Croft Cottage is a fantastic retreat, whatever time of year.
