How to get here: Biggin is a village off the A515 which connects Ashbourne in the south and Buxton in the north. There is a regular (if not very frequent) bus service through the village.
Nearest Town: Biggin is approximately 10-11 miles from Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock and Leek. It is about 5 miles from Bakewell.
Local Area
Biggin is in the White Peak (South) area of the National Peak Park. It is surrounded by rolling hills, dry stone walls, and a huge network of public footpaths. Our cottage is a few hundred yards from the Tissington Trail – a disused railway line which is now a wonderful walking/cycling trail going as far as Ashbourne in the south and Hurdlow in the north. It also connects with the High Peak Trail, so there is lots of potential for off-road cycling. Biggin has a popular pub and an excellent restaurant at Biggin Hall.
There is a little village grocery shop in Hartington, 2 miles away. Many of the big supermarkets can be found in the towns within 10-12 miles of Biggin (Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock, Leek).
Local attractions include; Matlock Bath – illuminations, Dove Dale stepping stones, Alton Towers Theme Park, National Trust properties: Keddleston Hall, Eyam Hall (plague village), Lyme House Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall (not National Trust).
Facilities
Our cottage is very old with stone walls. It has a kitchen/diner, a sitting room and a bathroom downstairs.
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom has a double bed and the other room has twin beds. Duvets, pillows, blankets all available. You will need to bring your own bed linen and towels.
The cottage has wifi and a smart TV, where you can sign into your Amazon Prime/Netflix/Disney channels with your own accounts. Upstairs there is a small TV with a built in dvd player.
The cupboard under the stairs stores a large collection of games for all ages, ranging from chess to Tumbling Monkeys! There is a travel cot and highchair attachment to go on a dining chair.
There is no off-road parking, but we have never had a problem with parking on the road outside the cottage.
The cottage has a Night Storage heater in every room except the sitting room, where there is an open fire, with coal and logs available. There are 3 portable electric heaters too.
