Situated at almost 1000 feet in the picturesque village of Cressbrook, it has panoramic views over Monsal Dale as seem on the BBC's Railway Walks. It is said, quite rightly, to have one of the best views in the Peak District.

Ideal as a base for a walking vacation, with easy access to the Monsal Trail and Limestone Way, or a holiday visiting the historic houses and villages for which the area is renown, Monsal View provides 21^st century comfort in a traditional setting.

Fully refurbished in 2005 Monsal View Cottage has all modern conveniences for the use of the discerning visitor, including wireless broadband.

Lying on the border of the low and high peaks Cressbrook is never more than 20 minutes from the major attractions of the area. Excellent walking, cycling and rock climbing are on your doorstep Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are a mere 10 minutes by car.

If activity isn’t what you want you can while away your time drinking in the view from the terrace on which you can dine during fine weather.

And if you don’t want to cook, good food and a traditional peak land pub is just a mile away (on the flat).
