With the Peak District always a favourite amongst ramblers, there are some excellent hill walks over the northern rugged peaks and the gently undulating hills of the southern dales. Only a fifteen minute drive away is the popular spa town of Buxton, whilst closer to home are the charming Mam Tor and Castleton, though with a variety of fine country inns, excellent restaurants, a chemist, a butchers and a bakers shop, you might never need to leave the village of Tideswell.

Rated 5/50 by on 8th January 2019

"An excellent rental. The facilities were more than adequate. Three pubs serving food within walking distance. A restaurant/bar at the Courtyard just past the George which is quite upmarket but do excellent takeaway pizzas. A Co-op, Post office and Chip shop. Buxton is not far if you require more. Ideal for walking or just as a base to visit the surrounding area."

"The Cottage itself and facilities are very good. However ......... the situation of the property is far from ideal. To start with it is on the main road through Tideswell, for a small village it is very noisy with speeding cars a huge lorries passing through right outside the window. Then !!!! the icing on the cake ! there is a very noisy, rowdy neighbor living right next door. You can quite plainly hear them walking up and down their stairs from the master bedroom in Exchange Cottage, Its like they're in the room. Thumping around on the floors from next door, conversations and shouting are quite clearly audible, as is loud music. Talking to the locals. this person is well known for being a nuisance, We were kept up until 2am on our Friday and 4am on the Saturday/Sunday morning. Definately not recomended, avoid at all costs if you want peace !"

"Lovely cottage in the heart of the village. Cafe next door with gorgeous ice cream. Fish and chip shop nearby. Well equipped with everything you need. Only downside was no wifi and the shower head needed cleaning/descaling. Wouldn't stop me staying there again though. Excellent base for exploring the Peak District."

"Our stay at the Exchange Cottage was heavenly. It had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to board games and a fireplace. The service was lovely as well. Thanks for everything!"

"The cottage was well equipped and in a good location for walks and attractions. It had all the comforts of your own home. The bedrooms were a good size though the kids room overlooked a busy road. A nice shower room and lovely kitchen with washing machine. Would certainly recommend the cottage for a short stay. Directions could have been a little clearer as to the exact location of the cottage."

"This immaculate and otherwise comfy cottage would be lovely, but is based on the main road through Tideswell, and at a bottleneck on that main road. If you're prepared for almost constant traffic (including trucks, lorries and buses) stopping and then accellerating right outside living room window, that's fine. But it came as a bit of a shock to us and we've since found out the village is a known rat run outside of winter. Also next door neighbour's dogs howl at night. One day of our stay he played a rock CD at 4.30am at full volume. Owner was good and got police round, but not what you expect to have to deal with on holiday. Such a shame because apart from the awful road and the neighbour this would be a great and good value holiday cottage. We would consider staying in Tideswell again, but not on the main road."
