Riverside Setting
Heron's Rest is a two-bedroom holiday home in a historic building opposite the River Wye in Cressbrook. The property has a sun terrace, a garden, a picnic area, and BBQ facilities for outdoor use. Outdoor furniture and a riverside seating area allow guests to watch wildlife such as herons and kingfishers from the doorstep.

The Two-Bedroom House has a fully equipped kitchen with a range cooker, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. An open fireplace is provided with fire logs and kindling for cooler evenings. The holiday home is non-smoking throughout and includes a private bathroom, heating, board games and puzzles, and a safety deposit box.

The Monsal Trail is a two-minute walk from the house, with an 8.5-mile cycle track running from Bakewell to Buxton. Walking routes start from the hamlet in all directions, and the Angler's Rest pub is about a 20-minute walk up the lane.

“What strikes me most is how Heron's Rest truly immerses you in its peaceful riverside setting, a cosy haven designed for quiet contemplation or invigorating walks along the Monsal Trail just steps away. The thoughtful touches, from the warm hearth to the well-appointed kitchen, speak to hosts who genuinely care about creating a comfortable, restorative experience. It's a place where the natural beauty outside seamlessly blends with the snug comfort within, making it feel like a personal retreat.”
