Bed and Breakfast in Birchover

Set high up in the village of Birchover, Poppy Cottage bed and breakfast is a wonderful place to stay whatever the weather. The spacious accommodation is quite self-contained, with its own separate access.  Although we can accommodate up to four guests, we never take more than one booking at a time so that you can enjoy complete privacy during your stay.

Tucked away in its secluded gardens, just behind Main Street, Poppy Cottage is a perfect hideaway for those who prefer to base themselves in the peace and quiet of a small village. Built over 200 years ago from Birchover stone, much of its charm is in its rambling quirkiness.

We are a small family run Bed and Breakfast, providing a high standard of hospitality for our guests and we will do everything we possibly can to make your stay with us as perfect as it can be.

In the Peak District National Park and at the foot of Stanton Moor, Birchover is surrounded by beautiful open countryside. The many footpaths and trails make this a wonderful place for walkers and cyclists alike.

Straight from our front door there are marvellous walks in endless directions for those of you who don't want to use your cars. Stanton Moor, site of a large Bronze Age burial ground is just a few minutes walk away. The views from the Trig Point are a breathtaking 360 degrees. (see Local Area)

We are less than 15 minutes drive from Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. The Red Lion, Real Ale pub is about 200 yards from us and The Druid Inn is roughly the same again. Both serve excellent meals.

Poppy Cottage is strictly a non-smoking establishment, throughout.

Prices for 2011 per night for a double room including breakfast are from £60 for single occupancy and from £80 for double occupancy.

Access Statement

Being over 200 years old, Poppy Cottage has many of the characteristics that typify an old building.  Over the years, various occupants have built a bit on here and another on there, resulting in floors that are not level and often steps between rooms.

The bus from Bakewell to Matlock is every half hour and stops directly opposite us. Cars can usually park right outside, on Main Street. From the road, the path to the cottage is about ten metres long and is on an incline.  It is rather uneven, as the old flagstones were laid many years ago.

Inside, there is a step from the front hall up to the lounge, but then the floor is level.  The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs.  There are ten fairly steep stairs, with a sturdy handrail on the right hand side and two steps down into the bathroom.
