"Lovely cottage , great place to stay !"
-
"Fantastic place the owners where very nice and really friendly we will be booking this again"
-
"Lovely stay in a very nice property with fantastic rural views."
It was situated in a stunning location. The owners were very friendly and could be contacted if we needed anything throughout our stay.
-
"The cottage is in a quiet, peaceful setting overlooking the Derbyshire hills."
It is very well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The owner had thoughtfully left a carton of milk in the fridge and some fresh ground coffee. We loved the patio which felt very private and was a bit of a suntrap. The cottage was very well situated, only 10 minutes' walk from Edale village where there are two good pubs, The Rambler Inn and The Old Nags Head which served very good food.
-
"Very peaceful and idyllic location, well furnished and friendly owners."
We will definitely be back
-
"A great little place with everything we could need."
Loved being on the farm with all the lambs. Great location, 10 minute walk to the pub and lots of walks straight from the door. Lovely welcoming hosts. Bed is definitely firm but was ok
-
"We loved every minute of our stay regardless of whatever the weather may be outside."
It was perfect to watch the world go by, sheep and lambs in the fields, people passing along the footpath or the changing weather up on the Mam Tor range. One thing that did concern us at time of the booking was the listing noted no freezer, but could use the owners. This was not quite true as the fridge had a large ice box which could easily store frozen peas, ice blocks etc which was ample for our needs.

"Our second visit to Heath Cottage, and we can't wait to return again - a wonderful little hideaway, very cosy and well equipped with beautiful views over the hills."
The location is perfect for exploring the hills and then retreating back to at the end of a long day's walking. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back!
-
"A comfortable cottage in an excellent location for walks up to Kinder Scout and Mam Tor from the door."
Also a 10 minute walk across the fields to get to the pub in Edale. The farm location was very quiet with only the sound of the sheep, and the views were fabulous. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We hope to return.
-

"Very cosy and comfortable for two people."
Wonderful views from the kitchen/lounge. As always very friendly hosts.
-
"The cottage was small but cosy."
The kitchen was very well equipped. The sitting area was comfy. The bed was very comfortable and the duvet was snuggly. The location was excellent - 10 minutes walk to the pubs across decent paths that are manageable in the dark (with a torch). Also just 10 minutes walk to the start of the Pennine Way and the ascent of Kinder Scout. As New Year guests, we really appreciated the chocolates and sparkling wine, as well as coffee and milk. The coloured lights decorating the farm were also lovely. Great place! Thank you.

"Best view ever, looking out on Mam Tor."
Love the sheeps. Wonderful walks nearby. Pub and campsite with a nice bar at a 10 minute walk.
-
"Another wonderful holiday at Heath cottage - perfect walking holiday location"
-
"Lovely little cottage, small but perfectly formed and containing everything you could need for a walking holiday."
It's perfectly located for walking straight from the cottage, but equally as easy to drive from further afield for other walks, and the pub and village store were only a 10 minute walk away with the train station not much further. We will definitely be back in the future!
-
"Another great visit to Edale and a relaxing stay with plenty of walking."
Lovely property just big enough for two. Well equipped and very comfortable. Only thing we could think of that would be an improvement would be the addition of a small foot stool for resting weary legs on whilst sitting on the sofa at the end of a day of walking.
-
"As usual a very good stay."
I think that this is my 5th stay at this cottage complex. I'll be back!
-
"What a lovely place, very compact yet filled with everything we needed for the week."
And so clean and tidy. Thank you
-
"Perfect location for a quiet walking holiday - will be back again next year"
-
"In a wonderful location with excellent walks right from the cottage."
The view from the private little garden is amazing. An easy walk along a track into the village with two pubs, a cafe and a shop. There is a railway station in the village with trains to Sheffield and Manchester. The cottage is small but very comfortable with good quality furnishings and decoration. Very clean. Friendly and helpful host. Would love to return.
-
"Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming."
Lovely cottage with wonderful views .
-
"The cottage is small, but that is what we expected."
Nice and clean when we arrived with everything else as we expected. The location is fantastic and the patio was a great place to take in the sun and a beer after a walk.
-
"We had a great stay at Heath Cottage."
The owner lives on site and was very welcoming and helpful upon our arrival. The location is fantastic and it is only a 10 minute walk into the main part of Edale with it's two pubs, small shop and visitors centre. We were able to eat most of the meals we prepared in the cottage in the lovely courtyard garden, overlooking the Great Ridge. Such a great view!! We did all of our walks from the front door and hope to return in the future.
-
"Such a great cosy cottage for too."
Very clean and despite the Covid-19 restrictions we felt welcomed when we arrived with fresh flowers on the table. Amazing location for walking with a footpath outside and a view of the hills. The walk to the village is along a farm track and footpath, it takes 10 mins and you st the nags head. The cottage was perfect to rest in after a long day of walking.
-
"Heath Cottage is the perfect place to get away from it all with great views from your window, and if peace and quiet is what is what your after then look no further."
Edale is a pleasant short stroll from the cottage. The cottage is very clean an kept at a very high standard.
-
"Lovely, quiet location, just what we needed."
Close to Castleton where most of our walks started from. No 'phone signal in the cottage which was a bit of an issue but not much anyone can do about that. Highly recommend The George Inn Castleton for good food and service.
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at Heath Cottage."
It is located in the most idyllic setting, with panoramic views of the Mam Tor skyline from your very own back door! The cottage was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you would ever need from a break away from home. The owners went above and beyond to make it Covid secure meaning we felt very safe throughout our stay. The location is perfect as it combines rural tranquility with a 10 minute stroll to the village of Edale with its 2 fabulous pubs & small shop. Highly recommended & we shall definitely return
-
"Lovely, cosy cottage."
Ideal location for walking just outside Edale. The cottage was small but had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy, kitchen had all the essentials and WiFi was provided.
-

The double bed was so comfortable and breathtaking views would definitely recommend for a quiet country retreat.
-
"Cottage peaceful location and coziness."
Owner flexibility about check in and departure times.

"After exploring the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District it was good to get back to the comfort of Heath Cottage to sit back and rest and admire the view from the cottage which was small but lovely, clean and welcoming after our days out , we must say the bed was very comfy and Sally is a mine of information about Edale & surrounding area's, thank you."
-
"Really enjoyed my stay at this lovely cottage really cosy, quiet."
Kitchen well equiped, lovely shower. Nice to sit on the private terrace and watch and listen to the sheep and lambs in the fields opposite - very rekaxing. Ideal location for walking up mam tor, kinder scout and to lady bower reservoir and hope. Owners very helpful. Cottage located only 10 minutes walk from edale hamlet where there is two pubs and tea rooms (pennypot was my favourite) and a local shop and edale station. Enjoyed the monthly folk on the train band at the ramblers pub.
-
"Set in a beautiful rural location, this cottage more than met our expectations."
Stunning views out of the living room windows, a lovely little patio set and fresh flowers all made this a great stay. The cottage was very clean, cosy and warm (we stayed in December). Things to note: It's about a ten min walk into the centre of Edale, but make sure you bring a torch as it is pitch black at night! The cottage come equipped with loo roll, washing up liquid, salt, pepper and other basics. Would definitely re-book!
-
"Mrs Gee (and her family) made us very welcome and we were impressed to have our washing done for us mid-holiday!"
Heath Cottage was an excellent base for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Edale, enjoying new walks and old and some excellent weather in our second week. We hope very much to return next year.
-
"Very clean, comfortable and cosy cottage with spectacular views across the Edale Valley."
A peaceful and relaxing place to stay after long walks in the hills.
-
"The location was wonderful with stunning views."
The cottage was well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. Our host Mrs Gee was very welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"It was a working farm breeding sheep so we learnt a lot about sheep breeding."
The cottage was just right not too big , not too small, everything worked although it had a funny television set up. The owners of the property were helpful friendly and although very busy due to the lambing time were always willing to talk about sheep. The property was really out in the country side at the end of a single track lane which really needed a few more passing points so timing was important when coming and going. The scenery from the cottage is awe inspiring I have never been so impressed, the weather was good so the Peaks were showing their full glory. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who loves the country side.
-
"A warm welcome."
The cottage had more than everything we needed. Very friendly owners who on our arrival explained fully about the workings of the cottage. It is on a sheep farm and our visit coincided with lambing time which is obviously an extremely busy time for the owners. Even so Mr andMrs Gee went out of their way to explain the workings of the farm. We spent a very pleasant week in beautiful countryside surrounded by sheep and lambs and learnt a lot. We wii return.
-
"Heath Cottage was lovely, home form home!"
!. Mrs Gee was very welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay.
-
"Heath Cottage is a cosy, comfortable cottage, well equipped with everything needed for a week's holiday for two people and set in glorious countryside on a working farm."
Given the weather, the outside area is perfect for sitting and relaxing. Mrs Gee and her family were very welcoming and helpful, despite being run off their feet with lambing. If we visit this area again we will definitely stay at Heath Cottage.
-

Parking was straightforward, excellent patio space with a splendid view.
-
"What a wonderful location."
The view was just perfect, and we had the most fantastic time.
-
"Comfortable small cottage with everything you need."
Wonderful views and many walks you can do from the front door so car not really necessary unless you need to buy provisions. Two pubs that serve food all day within easy walking distance. Definitely intend to come here again.
-
"Some shelves and cupboards are high, therefore a small pair of steps would enable shorter people to reach the high shelves, otherwise this is a very cosy cottage with lovely views and a warm welcome from the owners."
