Rosehip May 2018 6:39pm, 22 May 2018 10,535 posts	0 Rosehip Probably not in your desired area - but we stayed here last year: kindercottage.co.uk and it was lovely - walk up Kinder Scout from the door and the pub was within a relatively easy stagger
HellsBells May 2018 7:43pm, 22 May 2018 23,841 posts	0 HellsBells We stay in this one cliffecottage.co.uk Right in the entrance to Peak cavern, very quiet in the evenings, can't get a car closer than the main Castleton car park so have to carry your stuff a short way

runnyeyes May 2018 9:56pm, 22 May 2018 1,369 posts	0 runnyeyes Glad you’ve enjoyed Dovedale Fetch. Actually you can continue on from Milldale, still following the River Dove upstream, into Wolfscote Dale. It’s very quiet after Dovedale, and with some beautiful limestone cliffs... Canute and I have done that together as a long run. Highly recommended.

um May 2018 10:19am, 26 May 2018 270 posts	0 um Thanks all - Cliffe Cottage looks great - just not free when I want it Have booked a place on the outskirts of Hathersage. Can any locals please ensure good weather for a week from 29th June !
um Jun 2018 11:23am, 27 Jun 2018 311 posts	0 um Hoping the good weather stays - driving up Friday for a week. Do you (esp Fellrunning) know if there is any parking beyond Fairholmes ? And any public access or good spots to see deer ?
richmac Jun 2018 2:22pm, 27 Jun 2018 11,293 posts	0 richmac Warning, much of the top end of the Peak district is on fire, although this is north west of fairholmes, perhaps check before travelling.
Fellrunning Jun 2018 3:14pm, 27 Jun 2018 1,955 posts	0 Fellrunning At the moment the most serious fires are restricted to Saddleworth which is closed. Peak and Derwent estates (which includes Fairholmes) are open. Please observe restrictions esp around forested areas. Parking above Fairholmes is restricted to Blue Badge holders. There is a shuttle bus to the King's oak. The deer are currently in the Alport Valley. It's access land but a bit of a trek. I'll be blogging about the fire risk situation later. Be safe
