  • "Lovely little cottage, quiet and peaceful, remote but close enough to get to a lot of places to visit (Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth, etc)."

    Was well equipped and comfortable. Good enclosed garden for the fog but also private enclosed grass area for him to play in. Loved our week there.

  • "The cottage was in a wonderful location!"

    Very relaxing. I love to relax in the sunshine, a sun lounger would have been perfect for me. We made the mistake and put the address in goggle maps, it took us to Ashbourne, we should have gone with your written directions, our fault but we got to the cottage eventually. The milk was a god sent, I forgot to pick some up on the way, thank you. Alan enjoyed his Birthday get away. Thank you x

  • "Bijou but well equipped."

    A hideaway but close to the town. Comfy beds. Ample amounts of hot water to soak in the lovely rolled top bath. A paddock at the side of the property for your dog. Our third time here

  • "Great little cottage for 2 and a dog."

    It is well equipped with everything you would need. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Enclosed garden so doggo couldn't escape. Rural location with no neighbours. Short drive to the nearest village with a little shop, cafe, post office and pub. Great location for walking in the peaks. We loved it here and we will be visiting again next year as there were so many walks we didn't do.

    Perfect cottage nicely situated on top of a hill just far enough far the neighbouring properties, lovely and warm nice log burner and well laid out, we both thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights there

  • "We have had a lovely break at School House Cottage."

    The location was perfect, remote but easy access to towns and great Pubs that let dogs in. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The log burner was a real treat, not a necessity as the heating was very adequate, but lovely to sit in front of in the evenings. Hope to return again, Liz & Mick Jones & Pip

  • "Beautiful, cosy and compact cottage which had everything we needed for our stay."

    The night sky, when clear, was amazing! The location was perfect, very peaceful and remote, yet not too far from towns such as Buxton and Leek. Would recommend visiting Tittesworth Reservoir and Rudyard Lake for circular walks with lovely views. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would book again.

The property

Longnor 2.2 miles.

School House Cottage is a cosy romantic retreat in the heart of the Peak District National Park, with a woodburning stove to snuggle up in front of and a roll-top bath when you fancy a soak after a long day.

With its lovely rural location in Newtown, Staffordshire, less than three miles from the delightful village of Longnor, you can enjoy charming countryside views from all aspects of this characterful, detached stone cottage.

Step outside and take a seat on the private patio, with a glass of whatever you fancy, and watch the sunset on the uninterrupted views of the Staffordshire Peak District.

With stone floor and beams, the ground floor is open-plan with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table and an inviting sitting area with a woodburning stove set in a stone hearth fireplace.

The first floor has one king-size bedroom, which benefits from lots of natural light due to the additional Velux window.

The en-suite bathroom adds extra convenience to your stay, with its roll-top bath and rain shower.

Outside, the enclosed patio garden is not overlooked by any other properties and offers spectacular open country views.

Nearby, the quaint cobbled village of Longnor provides an array of shops and traditional pubs, whilst the Manifold Valley and Tissington Trail offer great walking and cycling opportunities.

The spa town of Buxton, the lovely market town of Bakewell and the thrilling Alton Towers theme park are all within easy reach, providing a range of days out.

School House Cottage offers a charming hideaway retreat and a central base for an action-packed break rolled into one.
