  • "One of the best cottages I’ve stayed in!"

    Exceptionally well equipped (with games, books, loads of crockery and good quality cooking utensils/pans etc). Very friendly ( but not intrusive) owners and a wonderful welcome pack, which we really appreciated. Comfy beds and lounge furniture. Spotlessly clean and high quality furnishings. Nice and warm. I’m forever grateful to the owner for speedily coming to the rescue with a spare key when I managed to lose the original whilst we were out walking. Thankyou, Pam!! The stairs are very steep (the extra hand rail was much appreciated!) which might be a problem for any infirm visitors, but we managed to negotiate them fine with our middle aged knees! The only thing I could think to improve would be a larger fridge ( or an extra one down in the cellar, alongside the freezer) …. But then we did bring enough food to feed an army. We should probably have just eaten out more at the pub which is directly opposite and serves amazing food!

    Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay - we aim to make sure our guests have a lovely holiday. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay in Candlelight Cottage."

    The cottage was immaculate and clearly cared for and well maintained. It was nice to receive a welcome text after arrival from owners who are only 10 mins away if you should have a problem, which we didn't as everything was perfect. The village was lovely with friendly locals, Our son had car problems and a local came and lent him some tools which was kind. Will hopefully stay again as so many places still to visit in the area, and share details with friends and family.

  • "We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Candlelight Cottage."

    The cottage itself was really clean and warm, and the Christmas tree was a special addition that made it seem even more inviting! We particularly enjoyed the comfort of the sitting room, the log burner is a lovely touch. The kitchen was very well equipped but we did also very much enjoy the food and atmosphere in the Red Lion across the green! The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and there was loads of wardrobe space. It was ideally situated for walks from the doorstep. All in all we had a fabulous break and definitely hope to return to Candlelight Cottage in the near future.

    It was very well equipped and the furnishings, linen, utensils and crockery were of a high standard and good quality. The location was peaceful with a lovely views at the front and rear of the property. We really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in the Red Lion pub and the local shop had delicious homemade cakes along with anything else you might need. We didn't have to travel far to enjoy, Tideswell, Hathersage, Upper Burbage and Castleton. Picturesque villages and great walks we enjoyed on our weekend break. Candlelight cottage is by far the best cottage we have stayed in and would highly recommend.

An exceptionally well equipped clean and comfortable cottage, in an idyllic location in the Heart of the Peak District National Park.

Candlelight Cottage overlooks the village green of the delightful village of Litton, ideal for a family looking to explore wonderful Derbyshire.

Be welcomed into this quaint cottage, with historic features throughout, an enclosed courtyard, and plenty of space to make yourself at home.

With ample amenities, a gas AGA and a lovely cottage feel, the kitchen/diner caters to your culinary needs, and allows guests to enjoy a hearty meal at the dining table.

Afterwards, retire to the characterful sitting room threaded with wooden beams, and warm your feet beside the gas fire as you catch up on your favourite TV shows.

When sleep calls, ascend the stairs and freshen up in the contemporary bathroom, choosing between a warm shower and a soak in the tub, before cosying up into one of the two beautifully presented bedrooms, with options including a double with countryside views and a twin overlooking the village green.

When the sun is shining, make the most of the delightful rear courtyard, an enclosed space with colourful shrubs and furniture ideal for alfresco dining over a glass of fizz as guests reflect on the day’s adventures.

Litton is a delightful village settled into the centre of the Peak District, offering a lovely pub, The Red Lion, and a Post Office for your holiday essentials.
