Our reviews are as good as our views

Perfect countryside getaway with all the comfort, personal touches and mod cons you need! We booked a weekend break very last minute - the night before - and were delighted to find a perfect place to get away. The cottages were beautiful - modern with traditional features, comfortable beds and sofa, all your kitchen essentials and everything was spotlessly clean! There was even a welcome basket for us when we arrived plus a cot, stair gate and high chair for our toddler. There were so many nice little touches like the on site “honesty shop” stocked full of things like chocolate, pasta and pizza. The play area was fun for our 18m old too. The games room was great with a pool table, tv and games like scrabble and trivial pursuits. As for the location - it was nestled in the middle of the countryside with walks from the front door and just a few mins drive from gorgeous pubs, bookstore cafe and ice cream dairy. It’s also a short drive from Buxton, caves and animal parks. We are hoping to return in the summer with a group of friends and rent out a couple of cottages we loved it so much!

Perfect stay in the Peak District. Luxury, stunning views, tranquil. We recently stayed in the Sheldon cottage at Wheeldon Trees in the Peak District near Buxton and it exceeded all expectations.

Sheldon is a beautiful two-bedroom, single-level property with the most incredible panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Looking out on to that scenery was a real highlight

What made this cottage particularly special for us was how perfectly suited it was for our elderly parents. Being entirely on one level with no steps made access easy and stress-free, and the wet room was practical without compromising on style. It meant everyone could fully relax and enjoy the break.

Inside, the attention to detail is outstanding. The crockery, glassware and kitchen equipment are genuinely top-end — far beyond what you’d normally expect in self-catering accommodation. The furnishings throughout are equally high quality: tasteful, elegant and clearly chosen with care. Everything feels luxurious yet comfortable, creating a space that is both stylish and welcoming.

The whole cottage was immaculate and beautifully maintained, and it’s clear the owners take real pride in providing a premium experience.

Wheeldon trees cottages are perfect if you’re looking for high-end accommodation in a peaceful Peak District setting. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Stunning cottage, wonderful weekend break with friends. We had such a lovely time at Sheldon cottage. It was immaculate, everything was perfect! We received a gorgeous little hamper on arrival. The cottage was warm and welcoming. The views of the country side were picture perfect. All guests were extremely happy with the cottage. Our stay was so comfortable like a home from home. Had everything you would possibly need for a stress free stay. Rooms were spacious with plenty of storage. Very quiet, only noise was down to the wind as it was a very windy weekend. Great customer service. Even had use of a communal games room. Great value for money, will definitely be returning!

Fabulous little cottage Beautiful little cottage with everything you could need. Honesty shop stocked with lovely food and snacks. Surroundings stunning, our dogs had a blast.
So much attention to detail- made all the difference

Lovely break in The Peak District We had a lovely time. We were 2 families both with dogs but stayed in separate cottages. Cottages were newly refurbished and pristine. Kitchen was very well equipped, and the beds were amazingly comfortable.
Straight onto the hills for dog walks and the scenery is stunning.
The best honesty shop I have ever seen, and the hosts were superb.
The games room was an additional for my 16 year old son with a pool table!

I would highly recommend these cottages.

A fabulous half term get away We had the most wonderful couple of days at Wheeldon Trees. We spent a weekend there catching up with friends over the February half term.
It’s the perfect location for families (there were 4 children between us). Plenty of space for the kids to run around. A small playground area and a communal room for larger gatherings which we used on the Sunday.
The owners supplied a gorgeous welcome basket containing all the essentials, milk, bread, biscuits.
The rooms were warm and cozy especially as we were very lucky to experience snow whilst we stayed. There is also plenty of protection for the taller guests in the form of padded beams! (We stayed in Elliot cottage)
We have an electric car and there is a charge point in site. An app must be downloaded to use this but works well.
I cannot recommend this place enough and we will be booking another stay there without hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Excellent stay Everything was perfect for our weekend away with our dog. The cottage is packed full of everything you need so it makes the stay so much easier and the basket of goodies is a really nice touch.
Brilliant location for a peaceful stay but close enough to towns to drive in without too much hassle
Thank you

A great stay in a beautiful place and excellent value for money! The property was lovely, the underfloor heating in particular a lovely surprise! Really well equipped and laid out and a good quality of everything provided. Location is great, really close to Buxton and Bakewell for places to eat and drink (would recommend Baileys in Buxton (https://baileysrestaurant.co.uk/index.html), The Redwillow bar opposite (https://redwillowbrewery.com/) and The Woodyard in Bakewell (https://thewoodyardbakewell.com/). Heather was a briliiant host, contacting us in advance for our choice of wine on arrival and to let us know of all the check in arrangements etc. The welcome pack was lovely and really useful.
Overall a great stay in a beautiful place and excellent value for money!

A memorable stay - high standards Our daughter Emma booked our post Christmas 3 days get-together, it was an inspired choice! We arrived before check in time and appreciated the early access. Lovely to have the Christmas decorations around, just the right amount.

The weather was cold, but we were always comfortable with the warmth in the house - radiators and log burner kept us cosy. We realise heating costs will cut into profits, but no-one wants to be cold on holiday. We did turn the bedroom radiators off at night or we would have been to warm

The welcome pack was appreciated as were all the amenities in the house and on site. Great to have the little shop considering the distance to purchase elsewhere. I'm sure the 'honesty box' will be respected by guests, more accommodation should offer this if they are isolated.

As for suggestions that would make the accommodation better .I have none!

Christmas in The Farmhouse We had a fabulous Christmas week in The Farmhouse. It was warm, cosy, beautifully decorated and fully equipped. The welcome basket was also much appreciated. The honesty shop was a great addition and the complementary chocolates were a lovely surprise. The children had a lot of fun in the games room and enjoyed running across to the shop in the evenings for the ice-cream! We will very much look forward to returning for another relaxing break in a truly magical location.

Our 4th visit to Ollerenshaw Cottage Repeat visit to Ollerenshaw cottage, part of Wheeldon Trees. We visit every year for our wedding anniversary and enjoy the warm welcome, great views and the peaceful cottage. There is an honesty shop, laundry and car charger onsite. Everthing you need for cooking and dining is provided in the cottage. It even has its own "mountain" just 10 minutes walk to the top. We love it there.

Amazing place to stay If I could give this place 5+ I would it is an amazing place it’s in a quite peaceful place it’s clean with everything you need. They have a wonderful games room & laundry they also have an honesty shop where you can find late night nibbles.

Perfect weekend break I booked Sheldon Cottage for my elderly father and older brother for a weekend break and they really enjoyed it. The cottage and facilities were perfect and to a very high standard. The surrounding area is beautiful and it could not have been better!

Wonderful stay at Wheeldon trees This place is an absolute gem of a find - a friend of mine had stayed here some weeks ago and recommended for us to try it and we are so glad we did it is simply stunning! We stayed in Walkers rest cottage and it literally has everything - lovely bedroom with a super comfy bed, lovely bathroom with a really big bath which was the perfect size for my husband as he is 6ft! - all of the equipment that you are provided with in the cottage is super good quality and Hazel and Steve have literally thought of everything, also the setting where you are staying is so beautiful and tranquil, perfect for getting away from it all.

We visited Buxton and Bakewell whilst we were here and completed two really nice walks from Bakewell - we had dinner on our first night at the Royal Oak in Hurdlow and again on our third night both nights the food was fab! and on our second night we ate at Lubens in Buxton and this was really good too.

We really loved everything that was provided here at Wheeldon and really have no complaints and we will definitely return.

Beautiful location Everything about these cottages was beautiful, we stayed in Sheldon with dramatic views that changed constantly with the weather. The games room with pool and air hockey was a hit with the boys. We loved the walks from the cottage, with a good selection printed out on laminated maps for us to follow, our favourite was along the dragons back! There is so much more to explore and we would love to return.

Fabulous Peak District Cottages - Just Book It - You'll Love It ! We had a fabulous long weekend with our big kids at Wheeldon Tree Cottages.
It started great with the best Welcome package ever - wine, cookies, milk, fresh eggs and more. Our cottage, NADIN, is a three story cottage - downstairs two bedrooms, and the bathroom, upstairs to a big cosy lounge/kitchen/diner, then up to the mezzanine to two more singles. In the morning we made toast and porridge, whilst the cows walked past the lounge window - happily scampering around like they were on holiday. After breakfast we hiked up High Wheeldon - that is immediately outside the house - that got our walking legs warmed up, with 360 views at the top. After lunch we walked to the top of the road, around the perimeter of the quarry, looking down on stunning, dramatic, scenery of up and down dales, and surrounded by the happiest cows, sheep, and nature. Dinner later at Packhorse Inn, and then Sunday lunch at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn. And much more. A great place for gorgeous hikes, and as a centre point for Buxton, Bakewell, and the rest of the Peaks. And a great location, if you have a big family and you want to book a few cottages. A great find - don't tell anyone 😉

Owner goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable! Wheeldon Trees Cottages is a cute little place on the southern outskirts of Buxton. The Mycock Cottage which we stayed in was very cosy, homely, clean and quiet with 2 bedrooms (1 double, 1 single). What was even better than the cottage itself was Hazel who I communicated with prior to our arrival via email and text message. She really knows what she's doing to make guests feel welcome and goes the extra mile in so many ways. The first positive from Hazel was a message letting us know that fortunately the cottage was available earlier than the regular check-in time. Upon arrival at the cottage, it was perfect - we just had to go inside (no faffing trying to pick up a key and checking in). Hazel had turned the lamp and sconces on in the living area which was a nice touch rather than arriving in the dark, fumbling to find the light switch. She had also put Classic FM on the Alexa, the heating was on, there was a pint of local semi-skimmed milk, fresh local butter and a bottle of white wine in the fridge. Even though we booked super last minute (late night prior to arrival), Hazel still contacted us to ask if we would prefer a bottle of white wine, red wine or soft drink and was able to fulfill our request. It could have been so easy for her to have not bothered and simply said that because we booked so last minute, we couldn't choose and just put a bottle of whatever she had to hand in the fridge - I understand she lives off-site so she either had someone do it quickly on her behalf or she went there to do it herself. There was also a basket on the dining table which contained 6 local eggs, tea bags, a packet of ground coffee, cookies and jelly beans. Hazel had also left a hand-written card to welcome us. The cottage was very clean and there were helpful signs around the cottage such as one above the thermostat on the upstairs landing with instructions on how to adjust the heating upstairs and downstairs. There was also a folder in the lounge which contained lots of useful information about the cottages and local area. The area near the front door had plenty of hooks for jackets, a rack for muddy, wet walking boots with a tray underneath and 2 headlamps which I thought was a cute touch - definitely handy if you need to walk outside at night to the bin area or laundry area with your hands full as it's VERY dark out there at night! The bathroom was lovely - modern but in keeping with the style of the cottage with nice, citrusy toiletries (liquid hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner). The outside patio with seating was lovely although we didn't sit out there as it was too chilly. Having cows as our neighbour in the adjoining field was delightful! I would definitely like to come back again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wheeldon Trees Cottages whilst Hazel is in charge! Definitely not a chance in hell that this place would ever be featured on one of those UK TV programs like 'The Hotel Inspector'. Any failing hotels/B&Bs definitely need to be trained by Hazel as other than putting out a red carpet for our arrival (😂) I really can't think of anything else she could have done to make our stay so comfortable and pleasant.

Great stay in Walker’s Rest Cottage We had a lovely 6 night stay in Walker’s Rest Cottage. It’s very well equipped and everything is of a very high standard. A very quiet location surrounded by beautiful countryside. Lots of great places to visit - we particularly enjoyed Hadden Hall and The Riverside Café at the David Mellor Centre (which was also well worth a visit) in Hathersage.
Hazel was very welcoming and friendly and Steve came immediately when a switch controlling the hot water had tripped.
Well deserving of 5 stars.

Great Location and quiet We had a great time at Wheeldon Tree Cottages. The cottage was well equipped, clean and well appointed. The location although very quiet ( just as we like it) there was quick access to Bakewell, Buxton and Tissington Trail. Onsite shop was helpful. We did 2 walks out of the information file which were great. The walk up Wheeldon behind the cottage gave amazing views of the countryside. We intend to return next year

A perfect break. Our fourth trip tp Wheeldon Trees. As ever a lovely stay. Our cottage (Sheldon) was beautifully presented with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious and having two bathrooms was perfect.
The cottages are well placed for amazing walks and trips to surrounding towns and Chatsworth.
This is an extremely well run establishment.

Peaceful retreat in heart of Derbyshire Another lovely stay at Wheeldon Trees in Ollerenshaw Cottage with our black labrador Jamie!
Beautifully situated, clean and well appointed.
Very peaceful despite Bank Holiday, lovely circular walk to Crowdicote, Longnor and back - so peaceful.
Ate at Royal Oak, Hurdlow (excellent) and just the best ice cream at Tagg Lane Dairy!
We will be back (in just over 2 months!)

Fabulous stay The cottages are in a lovely idyllic location.
We stayed in Elliot cottage for two nights and it was warm and cosy, well equipped with everything for a home from home stay including a welcome pack which was a lovely touch..
The cottage was spotlessly clean with a lovely garden to sit and chill with a glass of wine. We would definitely return to Wheeldon Trees cottages

Accommodation & facilities excellent. Everything exactly as pictured the Wheeldon website. Our first visit to the wonderful Wheeldon Trees Cottages and hopefully not our last!

We had a family get-together and stayed in the The Farmhouse for 8 nights between August and September.

The accommodation and facilities were excellent and everything was exactly as shown on the Wheeldon website. A lovely peaceful location with fantastic views!

Hosts Hazel and Steve were very friendly and welcoming and, whilst they don't live on site, they were there each day if you needed anything or just wanted some local info.

The electric car charging was an essential for us and worked without any issues whatsoever.

Thanks for a great holiday!

Excellent An excellent place to stay. Very rural and peaceful and with beautiful views.
An extremely well equipped cottage with an excess of crockery and cutlery. Very easy to cook here as all equipment provided. Would definitely come here again.

Beautiful but prices have increased a lot this year! We absolutely love Wheeldon Trees - perfect setting, beautiful cottages which you cannot fault!
We have been coming for years and stay 2 or 3 times a year, however, really sad to see the hike in prices in 2026 which makes it out of our reach now, even with a 5% discount. Thanks for some fantastic stays Wheeldon but sadly.. you're a little too expensive for us now.

The most wonderful week! Kind, attentive and welcoming hosts, plus beautiful accommodation in a stunning setting, we couldn't want for more.
Our local bookclub embarked on its first holiday together. Wheeldon Trees Cottages was perfect for us - a big farmhouse where we all gathered for dinner and drinks (even a little dancing one night : ), and enough cottages all next door to each other to give everyone who wanted a room to themselves the space to spread out. The facilities are outstanding and the decor and furnishings just beautiful. We felt really pampered and relaxed and everyone had the best time ever.
Set amongst breath-taking scenery, we enjoyed walking - especially Wolfscote Dale - and a wander around nearby Haddon Hall. The High Peak Bookstore did us proud for brunch on a couple of occasions. Many of us (aged from 62-82 years young) managed the short climb up Wheeldon Hill - once at 7 in the morning - and we are so glad we did.
Such a fab week - and our very grateful thanks goes to our generous hosts Hazel and Steve xx

Excellent place to stay We visited for a family get together Friday 4 to Monday 7 July and stayed in the Farmhouse. The property was excellent, well maintained , comfortable and spacious with great view. Excellent and spacious kitchen to dine together. We visited Bakewell and Chatsworth House which are close by. Overall an excellent stay and I would recommend.

A wonderful destination for family get togethers What a wonderful experience. I have just returned from Wheeldon after celebrating my 80th. Birthday with my family there, we had the farmhouse and two dog friendly cottages. The minute we arrived we knew it was something special,opening the front door to the sound of relaxing music with the soft glow of lighting, what a welcome.Everything from the beautiful linen in the bedrooms to the denby china as well as everything you might need for your stay.So much love has gone into creating this little piece of heaven that you won’t want to leave.

Quality place to stay Absolutely fantastic place. Everything thought of, high quality everywhere, including in the food in the honesty shed.

Wonderful Wheeldon Tree Cottages A wonderful week’s stay at Wheeldon Tree Cottages. We stayed in Critchlow cottage and it was perfect for two people, although it does have 2 bedrooms. The owners have thought of everything from a very thoughtful welcome pack to providing all the essentials (and more) for a self catering stay in the beautiful Peak District. Quiet, surrounded by stunning scenery and ideally located for short drives to some of the best walks in the Peaks. Several great walks straight from the cottage door High Wheeldon highly recommended. Plenty of pubs offering food within a few minutes drive. A well stocked Honesty Shop on site. We’ll certainly be back. Highly recommended.

Home from home in a lovely countryside setting Stayed with partner and our 8 month old daughter in one of the picturesque, clean and homely cottages. First time away as a family and Hazel made it very comfortable for us by providing essentials for a baby such as high chair, steriliser, cot and stroller. It really made a difference!

Surrounded by scenic countryside views, fresh air and lots of peace and quiet. This was an ideal first time getaway for us and would highly recommended Wheeldon Trees Cottages to anyone!

Loved it! We really enjoyed our stay here. Stayed in Mycock Cottage. It was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Excellent location, quiet and felt out of the way and yet within a few mins drive of the main Buxton to Ashbourne road so really easy to get to anywhere in the Peak District. Some good on site amenities with an honesty shop and a couple if e-bikes which was a nice addition (we didn't have time to use them but certainly would have if we were staying a bit longer). Good comms from host Hazel. Highly recommended. Jerry

Delightful Cottage in a Peaceful Location Ideally located between Buxton and Bakewell, we found Priestley Cottage at Wheeldon Trees a perfect base for touring the area. The area around the cottage is very peaceful with lovely views down the valley. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything needs for a relaxing break. All fixtures and fittings were excellent quality and we will definitely be checking availability when touring the area again.

We had a lovely time at Eliot Cottage - the beds were very comfortable and the cottage was delightful! The views were fantastic and it was very peaceful. We appreciated having the washer and dryer to use. The hosts were very responsive and helpful too.

We've spent a wonderful few days at the Sheldon cottage at Wheeldon Trees and we absolutely loved every minute of it. It really felt like time slow down and we could really relax and marvel at the beautiful surrounding nature. The views from the cottage were gorgeous in every weather and every time of the day. Every even little detail felt very thoughtful and tailored by the owners, from a tote bag filled with goodies, to white wine chilling in the fridge and handwritten welcome card. My 4 year old son absolutely loved the play area, watching playful lambs and little hiking trips from the cottage. My elderly parents really enjoyed soaking up the sun and watching sun go down between the Peak District hills. There's easy access (via car) to local pubs with nice food and various attractions including caves, GoApe and amazing gelato. The facilities are very high standard and linen is very comfy and high quality. We're already planning the return trip!

We had a fabulous stay at the Wheeldon cottages! Very clean and Hazel was super accommodating and responsive to any queries we had. The kids area is great and the little honesty shop was handy. We loved the locals walks and the toddlers loved the sheep! Will be coming back
