Top Riley Holiday Cottages

We have a 3 night minimum stay so that you have the opportunity to experience some of what the Peak District has to offer. We can do breaks of up to 28 days and know you will be comfy and cosy with so much to see and do.

The fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook a full three course meal if you wish with all the equipment necessary. The appliances are oven, hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, large fridge and large freezer. Then we provide salt, pepper and cooking oil in the cottages for you to use. Tea, coffee and sugar are provided. There is kitchen roll, cling film and tin foil. Large dining room table overlooking the stunning views allows you to relax over a beautifully prepared meal.

A BBQ can be provided on request. We have a beautiful dining area outside where meals can be taken on a beautiful warm day. We can highly recommend the SPA at Calver for the most amazing meat supplied from the local butcher.

Each cottage and barn has a small outside area with outdoor seating to enjoy a meal or just to relax. The views from each property are stunning in all seasons. Sit back, relax and enjoy the peace.

All our bathrooms have beautiful easy to use walk in showers. Heated towel rails. Fluffy bath towels and hand towels (extra hot tub towels for those with a hot tub). Large mirror with built in light and small shaving mirror. Bath mat and hand wash. All you need to stay refreshed.

Each cottage has it’s own private entrance. Opposite each cottage door on the fence is a key safe. The code is given to you a few days before your arrival. I am always on hand to meet and greet. The barn is always unlocked with the key on the inside of the door waiting for you.

Each cottage has it’s own separate wifi and code. Yes there is wifi in each cottage. The wifi is good for where we are in the beautiful Peak District.

We have wonderful, private parking directly outside the cottage front doors. There is a clear sign for each cottage and their parking space. There are only 4 properties. Each car has a space. If more space is needed there is an overflow carpark located at the top of the drive as soon as you enter the property. 

We have a wonderful laundry facility next to the cottages. We have a great 14kg washing machine and next to it a tumble dryer. There are pegs and a peg basket for those wanting the fresh Peak District air to cleanse their cloths (head through the second door and there is plenty of washing line space). We provide the laundry detergent for you as well.

The walk to the village is breathtaking. Only a 15 minute walk down the lane soaking in the most magnificent views and wandering past the Riley Graves. As you wander down past the tree line look out to your left and you can see the stunning Chatsworth House in the distance. 

At the moment we do not have an EV Charger. However a short drive to the Calver Arms and the Calver cross roads and you will find the most wonderful pub that serves exceptional food, and the best bit….it has several super fast EV chargers.

We regret that we are unable to accommodate pets, as we strive to maintain a tranquil and relaxing environment for all our guests. However, if you’d like, we can recommend reputable nearby kennels so your pet can enjoy a comfortable stay while you unwind.

We have made it really simple to book our properties. Just follow the book now button and all the instructions are there. However, if you would rather book through speaking to me in person I would be happy to do so. My telephone number is: 07921838670.

There are so many delightful shops from food to home accessories to wonderful gifts. If you would like a food shop for your stay we highly recommend an online delivery as all supermarkets do deliver to us. In the village there is a small village store for your essentials or head to Calver Spa for a bit more choice.

Our cottages are so cosy and warm. We have gas central heating in all three cottages and three log fires, where we provide you with a large basket of logs, fire lighters, kindling and newspaper (also instructions to help you get going). If you are staying in our barn then we have underfloor heating downstairs which is an absolute delight and a large heated towel rail in the bathroom. 

We have a dedicated terms and conditions page (see bottom of website page). Where you can see all our terms and conditions. Allowing you to know that you can book with us with confidence.

The cottages have an array of facilities to make your stay just perfect. From beautiful teapots to make the perfect cup, a cafetiere with Peak district coffee to cosy settee’s with blankets to snuggle with and foot stools to rest those weary legs. Hairdryers are provided on the dressing tables, with beautiful mirrors. Each cottage has a SMART TV where you can log into your favourite programmes on Netflix or Amazon. If you are off out for a special occasion there is an ironing board and iron to help you feel fresh. If you are staying in, there are board games and puzzles to while away the hours. Look through the special bird book to see what you can find just by looking out of your window. We strive to make the cottages easy, cosy and hassle free for that perfect stay.

Our luxurious bedrooms offer comfort, serenity and tranquility for that perfect nights sleep. The black out blinds allow you to rest even after the sun has risen. The beautiful bedding covering the most comfortable beds add to your break away. Wardrobes with mirrors and coat hangers, dressing tables with hair dryer. An extra cosy seat to while away the hours reading your favourite book. Your cottage has it all.
