Knowl Cottage - Historic 16th Century- 3 En-suites
Step back 500 years into Knowl Cottage (also known as Wolfescote), a Grade II listed gem in the heart of Hartington. Unlike most historic cottages, we offer modern luxury: 3 Bedrooms each with its own private En-Suite bathroom. Enjoy the massive Inglenook log burner, original stone mullions, and exclusive access to our Shared Games Room. Located just 50m from the famous Cheese Shop and The Devonshire Arms, this is the perfect historic base for hikers and families. Sleeps 6.
The Space (About this home)
Welcome to Knowl Cottage, where 16th-century character meets 21st-century comfort.
Ideally positioned in the picturesque village of Hartington, this property solves the biggest problem with historic rentals: `The Bathroom Bottleneck.` We offer the rare luxury of three en-suite bedrooms, ensuring total privacy and no morning queues for the shower.
LIVING & RELAXING The heart of the home is the lounge, dominated by a spectacular 16th-century Inglenook fireplace with a log burner—the ultimate spot to warm up after a winter walk in Dovedale.
Entertainment: Smart TV with streaming apps and high-speed WiFi throughout.
Dining: A dedicated dining area for 6, perfect for family meals using local produce from the village stores.
Kitchen: Fully equipped for self-catering, featuring a Nespresso machine (bring your favourite pods!) and modern appliances.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (3 Bedrooms / 3 Bathrooms) Each bedroom features original exposed beams and stone details, paired with hotel-quality linens for a restful sleep.
Bedroom 1 (Master): Double bed with private En-suite shower room.
Bedroom 2: Double bed with private En-suite shower room.
Bedroom 3: Twin room with private En-suite bath and shower over.
(Note: This `All En-Suite` layout is unique for a property of this age and is perfect for three couples or mixed family groups).
THE RESORT AMENITIES While the cottage offers historic seclusion, you also have access to shared facilities within our private courtyard:
The Games Room: Keep the teenagers (and adults!) entertained with a Pool Table, Air Hockey, and Table Football.
Laundry: Access to shared washing and drying facilities.
LOCATION You are in the `Walker`s Capital` of the White Peak.
Walkable: You are just 50 meters from the famous Old Cheese Shop and the local pub, The Devonshire Arms.
Hiking: Trails to Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale start practically from your doorstep.
Self Check-In: Secure key safe entry for a frictionless arrival.
Parking: Unloading is available directly outside the cottage. Long-term parking is available in the village.
Shared Spaces: Guests have full access to the courtyard and the shared Games Room/Laundry building located adjacent to the cottage.
We pride ourselves on being `Invisible but Available.`
Digital Guidebook: Upon booking, you will receive our comprehensive Touch Stay Digital Guide, packed with video instructions for the heating/fire and our curated list of `Hidden Gem` walks and pubs.
Support: We live locally and are just a message away if you need us, but we leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace.
Other Things to Note:
Identity: You may see this property listed on agency sites as `Wolfescote Cottage.` Don`t worry—it is the exact same building! We manage it directly here as Knowl Cottage.
Pet Friendly: We welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs. We even provide a `Paws in the Peaks` welcome with a muddy paws towel!.
Accessibility: As a Grade II listed building from the 1600s, there are some uneven floors and stairs.
Connectivity: Mobile signal can be patchy in the deep dales, but our WiFi is reliable for staying connected.
