Romantic Peak District Minibreak

Looking for a romantic Peak District minibreak ? The Peak District National Park, with its rolling hills, dramatic valleys and pretty villages, is the quintessential backdrop for a romantic escape.

And what better way to soak up the atmosphere than from the comfort of a perfect cottage for two? Here, we showcase two Wheeldon Trees options ideal for couples seeking a memorable hideaway.

Ollerenshaw Cottage

Ollerenshaw Cottage is a luxury dog-friendly hideaway.

Sitting under the majestic High Wheeldon in one of Derbyshire’s most stunning valleys, Ollerenshaw Cottage offers a truly luxurious and dog-friendly retreat for two. This gorgeous Derbyshire cottage underwent a total refurbishment in recent years. It offers a stay that blends vintage charm with modern convenience.

Downstairs, guests will find a chic open-plan living area. The new kitchen boasts built-in appliances, exquisite Derbyshire granite work surfaces, and even a waste disposal system. Comfort is key with new oak flooring and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor. New carpeting leads up to the sole, beautiful double bedroom.

The refurbishment extends to the newly installed, vintage-themed bathroom. Localed upstairs next door to the bedroom, it offers a contemporary over-bath shower.

Highlights for your romantic stay:

• Indulge in linens with the highest thread counts, the fluffiest towels, and bespoke luxury toiletries made in Bakewell.
• Enjoy High Wheeldon Rising fresh coffee (roasted on-site), an honesty shop, and Voltshare EV charging.
• Guests are free to roam the 12 acres of Peak District National Park, making friends with the local cows and sheep, or enjoying a walk directly to the top of High Wheeldon to “bag a trig.”
• If you need to stay connected, a dedicated, luxurious office space is available free of charge under the trees, offering super-fast wifi, a printer, and truly amazing views.

Walker’s Rest

Walker’s Rest is another superb choice for a couple, offering great walks directly from the door.

This beautiful country cottage features a spacious open-plan living area and is unique in that all the accommodation is on one floor, making it an excellent option for guests with limited mobility.

The flexible super king-size bedroom can also be made into a twin configuration, and there is plenty of room should you require a cot. The large bathroom includes the best of both worlds with both a bath and a walk-in shower.

Just outside your front door is a private enclosed patio – perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink.

Whether you choose the vintage luxury of Ollerenshaw Cottage or the comfort of Walker’s Rest, a truly romantic and rejuvenating break in the heart of the Peak District awaits.
