Tranquil Cottage, a Nature Lovers Paradise in the Peak District. Dogs welcome.
Nestled in the wooded grounds of Ford Wetley House, in the Staffordshire Peak District National Park, the holiday cottage is the ideal place to retreat to. Escape the hustle and bustle, kick back, put your feet up or put your boots on and go exploring! The choice is yours, in fact you’ll be spoilt for choice. Ford Wetley Cottage is situated about half a mile outside the picture postcard hamlet of Ford. Away from the main house and secluded by trees, in fact you can’t see another property just the rolling fields and sheep. It’s the perfect place if you want some privacy. The cottage enjoys it’s own formal garden and is set in an acre of land which you’re welcome to explore, including two little brooks with waterfalls and woodland. This area is fenced off for our younger visitors safety. There is a garden bench and a BBQ for those hot summers and if you are bringing your bikes a secure place to store them. Parking for three cars.
