About this property

Cosy Cottage with all year indoor pool, set in 9 acres of garden, amazing views

You'll love the cottagey feel of Woodside Cottage - original beams, stone flanked windows and two cosy bedrooms - all with far stunning, reaching views - and set within 9 acres of gardens.

There's a footpath directly from the cottage down to Rowsley where you will find the famous Peacock Hotel and The Grouse and Claret, too - plus the Chatsworth Kitchen (delicious lunches) and beyond - and plenty of walking guides in the cottage too. Famous Chatsworth House is just 3 miles away.

Outside you will find a garden table and chairs to enjoy those views and a Weber charcoal barbeque, too. You will see plenty of wildlife in the garden - pheasants, hares, amazing birdsong and the occasional deer.

Guests love the really well-equipped kitchen - there's a dishwasher, microwave and plenty of pots and pans, crockery and cutlery - and a separate pantry too to store food.

In the sitting room there are plenty of books and games, a TV and DVD player plus a cosy gas fire to curl up in front of.

Upstairs you will find the master bedroom with plenty of storage, next door is the twin bedded room - both have incredible views towards Haddon Hall.

The indoor heated swimming pool is available all year round and shared on a rota basis with The Round House, also at the same location (this is also available to book - sleeping 5, it's ideal for family and group get-togethers.)

The pool is open from 10am to 6pm and you will have two x two hour private swimming slots each day. Guests tend to liaise with each other if, say, they are going to be out all day which allows for some flexibility.

All linen and towels are included, including pool towels. There's a laundry room, too, for your use, with a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a travel cot and high chair - but do please bring your own bedding for the travel cot.

Pool dimensions: 7.5m x 4.5m (approx). Shallow end: 0.9m. Deep end: 1.8m.

Beautiful stay
We had a lovely stay at Woodside Cottage. This was our second visit - it’s a home from home and we love the pool! Such a great comfortable place to come back to after days out visiting amazing places! Thank you and we will look forward to our next stay!

Woodside Cottage
A lovely and tranquil setting, only marred by appalling weather during our stay. It was a little difficult to find on arrival and the cottage was extremely cold, but that changed the next day when the heating really kicked in. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching the sheep as our only neighbours. Rowsley was convenient for an exceptional birthday dinner at the Peacock Hotel. The only reservation I have is that my partner and I are both around 80yrs old and the stairs were quite steep in the cottage and there was no bathroom upstairs, but probably my fault for not reading the accomodation section properly. However, it did not detract from the overall enjoyment of our little winter escapade. The host, Isobel, was caring enough to ask how we were getting on during storm Isha and had provided us with coffee and Prosecco, which was very welcome.

Woodside Cottage - Home from Home
Woodside Cottage was very comfortable and cosy and provided everything that was needed for a fabulous stay. The swimming pool was a bonus and provided hours of enjoyment for us all. Izzy kept in contact with us and ensured everything went smoothly. We certainly hope to visit again as Woodside gave us the ideal place to visit the surrounding area in a cottage that was home from home.

We loved the cottage and the location, and the grounds are spectacular with amazing views over the hills and beyond. We had an excellent stay, and loved swimming every day too! Perfect all round, thank you and we will be booking again!

About the host

Hosted by Isobel James

Host profile image
When the owners purchased Woodside back in 1979 they took the opportunity to update next door Woodside Cottage, a cosy traditional home, adding an indoor heated swimming pool before embarking on The Round House in 1994 - both The Round House and Woodside Cottage can be booked together. The same attention to detail went in to landscaping the 9 acres of gardens - you will find plenty of mature trees and bushes which attract some amazing bird life.

Why they chose this property

You'll love the cottagey feel of Woodside Cottage - original beams, stone flanked windows, and cosy bedrooms. There's plenty of space for four - indoor and out. Don't forget the year-round indoor heated swimming pool! We also have The Roundhouse at the same location which is available to rent (sleeps 5) - ideal for family get-togethers.

What makes this property unique

With a private garden with furniture and bbq and stunning views towards Bakewell and Haddon Hall, an all-year indoor swimming pool all at the same location you will find Woodside Cottage a charming place to stay whilst exploring The Peak District. Chatsworth House is only 3 miles away.
