Damson holiday cottage is an amazing building with a rich history dating back to the 1850s.

Damson Cottage is one of two Cheshire Hunt holiday cottages in Rainow on the Cheshire border. Damson and Orchard Cottage are the result of a barn conversion completed in 2008. The original building dating back to the 1850's is situated next to a local landmark, the former Cheshire Hunt Inn from which the Hunt used to ride. The cottages have their own separate facilities but are available for hire together for extended family holidays to accommodate 11 guests for larger family groups.

Described by the Peak District Authority as a property of architectural interest, the barn is located on a small track, which winds its way up through the valley, forming part of the well-known walkers' path, the Gritstone Trail. The luxury self-catering retreat has been individually furnished and has its own unique character. Enjoying wonderful views over the open countryside, the cottage is within walking distance of the old mill village of Bollington, with its pubs, restaurants, local shops and parks.

Fantastic base for Christmas with the family
Well located, and well equipped (kitchen-wise). Even had a tree up in the lounge :) Please take a look at the slate in the garden. The floor was very slippery due to rain and moss on the tiles.

Just wonderful
What a beautiful house. We had a fabulous time here. The welcome basket was a lovely touch full of yummy goods. The games room was a great addition and kept the kids entertained. The host was very friendly bringing around some extra toys and books for our girls. 🙂

Lovely New Year break
We are a family of 5 with 3 children under 12, we stayed in Damson cottage for 4 nights over the New Year. The cottage was clean, spacious and extremely well equipped. A lovely quiet location with some beautiful views on the short walk to the village Bollington. It is an ideal place for exploring Cheshire and Manchester. We cannot fault it at all. Would definitely recommend.
