About this property

Walker's Rest Cottage - perfect for two in the Peaks

Situated within the stunning Peak District National Park, Walker’s Rest offers a luxurious escape. Part of the award-winning Wheeldon Trees retreat, this idyllic country cottage has been recognised as one of the top 10% of places to stay worldwide on TripAdvisor.

Inside you’ll discover open-plan living with underfloor heating, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a cosy living area with smart TV and Alexa, perfect for relaxing evenings. All crockery, glassware and cookware are provided, as well as essentials such as olive oil and salt and pepper.

The large double bedroom can either be made up as a super king bed or twins. All linens are provided – ours are white and Egyptian.

A modern bathroom with a bath and a separate walk-in shower completes the cottage. Fluffy white bath towels and hand towels are provided. Our toiletries are made for us by local company Peak Soap and include hand wash, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.

The private patio offers breathtaking views of High Wheeldon and Chrome Hill, inviting you to soak up the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Wheeldon Trees provides total tranquillity. The retreat boasts an array of amenities, including a well-stocked honesty shop filled with treats, Wi-Fi, an office you can use at any time, Voltshare EV charging and electric bikes for exploring the picturesque countryside. The children’s play area and games room ensure entertainment for all ages.

To enhance your stay, indulge in a pampering wellness treatment from The Feelgood Pamper Company, brought directly to your cottage.

For dining, two local pubs, the Royal Oak and the Packhorse Inn, offer delicious food and a warm atmosphere. We recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends. For coffee and cake we suggest the High Peak Bookstore and for the best ice cream you will ever taste, try Tagg Lane Gelato.

As your hosts, Hazel and Steve, we're just a short drive away in Ashbourne and are on hand to assist if you need us. We've taken care of the essentials, providing a welcome tote filled with tea, coffee, butter, milk, eggs and sweet treats.

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the extraordinary at Wheeldon Trees.

About the host

We gave up corporate life in 2021 for a more wholesome outdoors adventure. Steve was in housebuilding and Hazel owned a PR and advertising agency. We live just down the road in Ashbourne but are a phone call away if you need us.

Why they chose this property

The Peak District National Park is stunning. If you love cosy cottages, bracing walks, top tastic country pubs and gorgeous countryside, Wheeldon Trees Cottages is for you.

What makes this property unique

We’ve tried our best to ensure all you need to do is turn up. Our sheets are Egyptian cotton, our towels are fluffy and white. From olive oil in the kitchen to luxury toiletries hand-made locally for us, we have tried to think of everything. We love travelling ourselves, so all we have done is try to cover everything we would need. Add in historic chocolate-box cottages and stunning scenery – we think we have the perfect Peak District spot.
