at the heart of the famous village of Castleton in the Hope Valley, Peak District. Sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms. No smoking - sorry no pets. Centrally heated throughout (guest

This charming 300 year old limestone cottage is situated, alongside
others of its age, just off the village green in the unspoilt medieval village of Castleton, dating back to Norman times and
located in the heart of the Peak District National Park.
Peveril Castle is immediately behind the property keeping watch over the village as it looks out over to Mam Tor, Back
Tor ridge and Win Hill away in the distance.
Originally a bakery, Oatcake Cottage with its exposed beams and
trusses sleeps four, with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom and there is a bathroom with shower over. On the ground
floor there is a beamed lounge with original gritstone fire-place and 'coal effect' stove, with TV/DVD/Video.
Off
the lounge is the dining room with pay-phone and the country kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine/dryer
and a traditional Belfast sink.

The front of
the cottage has had some beautiful, detailed restoration work undertaken by a local stonemason which enhances the
charm and period of the cottage. This work is complimented by two 7 feet long, three hundred year old, antique granite
troughs which feature on the small forecourt. 'Oatcake' is one of the oldest cottages in Castleton, dated 1690.

Cosy, low-ceilinged lounge with exposed beams and two Laura Ashley sofas - lots of local information
- and on the bookshelves you will find we have most of the relevant tourist publications, books and novels in which
the Peak District is featured, plus videos and games for your entertainment. The pictures in both the lounge and the dining
room represent many local scenes - past and present.

A delightful, well equipped country kitchen with Belfast sink, in-keeping with the cottage's character.

style bathroom, wood panelled and tiled, with all-season towel rail providing constant warmth.
