Fresh, clean and charming!

Our stay at TOTS was perfect. Everything is fresh, clean and charming! Julie has thought of everything you might need, I’ve never stayed at a better equipped rental! We had our 4 month old grandson with us and there was everything we could need for him too. There were breakfast goodies and amazing coffee. The location is great for walking and exploring. Great restaurants within walking distance. Tideswell is just lovely!

Everything was absolutely fine. There's even a shower room for the dog! Now and then, the traffic on the main road was noisy, which kept the dog awake on the terrace. But inside, we all couldn't hear the noise and were very relaxed.

Perfect Stay in Peak District

TOTS (The Old Toffee Shop) cottage is the perfect getaway. The owner Julie has thought of everything to make a warm welcome and cozy stay. It’s adorable inside with all modern aspects in every room. The village is so lovely….and full of very kind folks…and sheep, and cows. You’ll be so pleased you came! We were. And the biggest bonus of all was the driver (Darren, recommended by the owner) who picked us up at the airport and took us to all the best places around the area all the best places. I couldn’t have asked for a more divine vacation.

Weekend Break

TOTS is a very comfortable house right in the centre of Tideswell on the main street. Quite small but with everything you might need and lots of helpful information and thoughtful touches such as a demisting mirror in the shower room and a well equipped shower room in the small courtyard to clean dogs before entering the house. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in Tideswell, together with a co-op, butcher, baker and an excellent second hand bookstore in a church. We would certainly be happy to return.

Breathtaking!

Aside from the lovely village and perfect location, I have to say that as a seasoned traveller, both home and abroad, I have never found such a well presented, clean, stylish property. Neither have I seen such attention to detail and provision of equipment and thoughtful treats. If I was less thoughtful I would shout to everyone that they must stay here!!! But then I might not be able to get in 🤭

Tideswell TOTS

Excellent Location, within walking distance of 2 bakeries, numerous eateries, the Co-op and a delightful second-hand bookshop. Beautifully clean and all the furnishings were of the highest quality, there was absolutely everything you need. TOTS even has a small but perfectly formed courtyard for you to watch the world go by as you drink your morning coffee. Would revisit in a flash!

Fantastic cottage and location

We loved staying at The Old Toffee Shop. Everything you could possibly need is catered for at the cottage and the quality of furnishing and comfort of the rooms is exceptional. Location is great and there are some lovely restaurants and coffee shop within walking distance. We had sandwiches and cakes for the Cherry Tree just across the square and also had dinner at the Merchant’s Yard which was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend choosing this accommodation as it has everything and with fantastic comfort, design and quality. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

Great Stay

Pics and description are thorough and accurate. For a village experience, TOTS was perfect. Small, but easily adequate for groups up to 4. Completely updated in all respects. Exceptionally clean. Kitchen well stocked with all the essentials. Location is in central Tideswell (a small charming village), accessible to all things "Peak" but also quiet for those nights at "home". Julie was a great communicator and all arrangements were great. No problem recommending.

The lovely TOTS

It is clear as soon as you walk-in that Julie and Nigel have put so much effort into making TOTS a really special cottage. It was perfect for our family of two adults, two children and two dogs. The decor is lovely and calming and the beds are very comfortable. It is equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday in the Peaks with plenty of amazing walks straight from the door. There are also some good options for eating out locally in Tideswell and we would recommend High Nelly’s for breakfast/brunch, the H&D bistro also does great breakfasts and the takeaway curry they do on a Thursday was very good. We also ate at the Star Inn one evening - it’s a busy little place so best to book and the food was of a really high standard. We would definitely like to visit again - maybe in the winter next time to make use of the log burner! Thoroughly recommend TOTS and Julie was a great host.

Tremendous TOTS

A very well equipped home from home. Very comfortable beds and good location. Even though TOTS is in the centre of town the road becomes quiet in the evening. The outdoor space is great if the weather is good. It gets the sun in the morning for breakfast AND in the evening for the sundowners. We hope we will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Julie or Nigel Halliwell

Host profile image
Nigel & I have been together for over 25 years and we have travelled quite extensively with Nigel's love of landscape photography behind many of the choices of our destinations. We both strive for perfection in our home & garden but don't quite achieve it due to our lovely little dog black cocker spaniel Lilly, who we adore.

Why they chose this property

It was just the right size & price for us - great kerb appeal even prior to the renovation & in exactly the perfect location for Nigel to get to his 'remote' spots for sunrise and sunset. The abundance of local shops including pubs & cafes helped seal the deal.

What makes this property unique

Large master bedroom with exposed beams but with plenty of headroom. Secure courtyard for toddlers & dogs. Entrance is not direct off the street into the lounge meaning the lounge remains snug and private. Situated on a corner you can watch the world go around and sun shines on the front of the property in the morning and moves round directly into the courtyard in the afternoon & early evening - perfect. Our outdoor heated Boot Room doubles as a Doggie Wet Room complete with its own electric shower.
