As the days get shorter and the air cooler, the countryside offers a peaceful retreat. Winter is a time to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the warmth and comfort of simpler pleasures. It’s an ideal season for some well-needed rest, giving you a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Take a brisk walk through the hills, bundled up in warm clothes, and you’ll start to see the quiet beauty of nature in a new light. The early morning frost sparkles on the fields, the trees are beautifully bare, and the calmness is refreshing.
Winter in the Peak District offers many chances for both adventure and relaxation. Here are some popular activities:
- Scenic Winter Walks: Walk trails like Mam Tor, Stanage Edge, or Dovedale, where the landscape turns into a frosty wonderland.
- Historic Attractions: Check out Chatsworth House or Haddon Hall to see winter gardens and enjoy the historic vibe.
- Local Markets and Festivals: Explore village markets throughout the Peak District for local produce, crafts, and seasonal treats.
- Cosy Pubs: Stop by traditional pubs that offer hearty food by open fires, making it a great way to wrap up a day outdoors.
- Wildlife Watching: Keep an eye out for deer and birds in the quieter parts of the national park, where winter wildlife is often visible.

After a day out, there’s nothing like coming back to a cosy retreat with a log burner. Both of our cottages have log burners, and we provide plenty of logs to keep you warm and comfortable during your stay.

Our cottages are the perfect cosy retreat for the colder months. With soft blankets, comfy bedding, and a welcoming interior, each stay is made special.
