Cottage
A romantic home from home with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. Originally a bakery, Oatcake Cottage was built in 1690 of limestone and nestles below Peveril Castle in a quiet, rural backwater in the popular Peak District village of Castleton. It has many original features including two 7 foot long stone troughs which feature on the small forecourt, a grit stone fireplace and exposed beams and trusses. A quaint dining room with French doors leads out into the beautiful private, enclosed terraced garden with spectacular views to Mam Tor where you can sit in the evenings enjoying a glass of wine in the summer house on the top terrace.
There is room for parking right outside the front door with further spaces along the road.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A fabulous place to stay
A lovely traditional old cottage with all the facilities you could wish for. The cottage was warm and welcoming in a great location, ideally situated for walking, touring or just relaxing. It was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
A fabulous place to stay.I definitely want to come here again.

Perfect cosy cottage for a perfect cosy weekend
We arrived on a very cold, windy and rainy Friday evening and found the cottage cosy and welcoming as soon as we stepped through the door! We found the kitchen equipped with everything we needed to cook and everything was clean and tidy.
We had a wonderful (but cold!) walk on Mam Tor on Saturday and couldn't wait to get back to the cottage to sit by the fire with a glass of mulled wine!
We chose this cottage as dogs were allowed which is hard to find. We also found that dogs are allowed in most of the pubs in Castleton too.
The cottage suited our needs perfectly and we can't wait to come again in January.

Lovely, clean and cosy cottage
Great location, easy walk to the pubs. Warm clean, with everything you need for a quite peaceful weekend snuggled in the peak district. Will defiantly be coming back, we loved the chocolate coins in our welcome pack, a nice extra touch from the owner.

Lovely little cottage! Excellent Location
We had a lovely stay at Oatcake cottage! Would definitely reccommend to friends and family. It is in an excellent location, with shops and pubs less than a minute away and lots of picturesque walks nearby.
Perfect for a laid back relaxing getaway with friends. The cottage itself is well equipped with plenty of storage. Particularly liked the living room with its beautiful fireplace and exposed beams. Ideal for a cosy, warm winter night in.

Quaint cottage in great location
Short stay in this very quaint cottage, within short distance of the village centre. Advantage of on-street parking outside. Very clean and tidy and the most stunning views from the back garden, however watch your step getting up there if it's wet. Ideal for walkers and explorers, with copious choices for eating out or just popping to the local pub. Also has WiFi.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your comment about the garden. We have now ordered some railings and hand rails to be installed in April. This will provide a barrier for the two patio areas and make it easier to access the levels via the steep steps, ready for the summer season. I hope you will visit again soon.

Idyllic cottage

It is located in the heart of Castleton and is close to local pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops selling the famous blue john gemstone jewellery.

Great little cottage
What a lovely little cottage. Very cozy and nice and warm. Very clean. Two lovely bedrooms, one double bed and one with twin beds. Perfect location in the village, everything on your doorstep. Nice little touches of milk in the fridge and tea, coffee, sugar already in the kitchen. Can't wait to stay again.

Lovely cottage in perfect location
The cottage was lovely and warm and cosy. It was kitted out with all that you needed and it was in such a great location with walking right from the door to plenty of places to eat and have a coffee or something stronger.
Would definitely stay again.

Ideal location
Booked this for a weekend with friends as we love Castleton. The cottage is very clean, well equipped and perfect location. If I had to put a negative I would say that the shower is not for tall people! Very good value.

Yes so true! The thing about 17th century cottages is that the ceilings are very low. We are thinking of pulling out the bath and just having a shower room but I also know that walkers like a soak after a long day out in the hills. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay though. Best wishes, Jane

Beautiful cottage
I booked the break for my mum's 60th as she loves Castleton- couldn't believe our luck when walking into the cottage. It was lovely and comfortable for myself, my husband, mum and dad.
Really comfortable, homely and inviting. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

How to get there
Oatcake Cottage, Pindale Road, Castleton, Hope Valley S338WU. Pindale road is very narrow in parts and it is easier to get to the cottage from the centre of Castleton rather than from Hope. Drive to Castleton village into the market place, then turn left into Pindale road. The cottage is on the right. All houses have names rather than numbers and Oatcake is quite near the square. There is parking outside for one car and a turning space further up Pindale road.
