Derbyshire Holiday Cottages – Close to the Best Peak District Attractions

Article published: December 19th, 2012

Just like millions of other people, we’re always raving about Derbyshire’s Peak District. It’s one of the most visited national parks in the entire world and it’s certainly one of the UK’s most breathtaking areas of natural beauty. The Peaks are host to an amazing array of activities and attractions, encompassing the finest stately homes in the country, including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick House. It hosts the UK’s most sensational theme park, Alton Towers and it is absolutely heaving with beautiful stone villages and breathtaking rolling countryside!

In addition to our offering of amazing activities throughout the region, including water sports, motor sports and target sports, we also have a selection of beautiful Derbyshire Holiday Cottages and Peak District Holiday Cottages, along with properties to suit all groups and budgets. These include; campsites, tipi’s, army tents, hotels, bungalows, houses, converted barns and even spiffing country residences fit for aristocracy.

Our Derby Holiday Cottages are close by to all of our activity centres, making them convenient group accommodation with all mod cons. Our 200 year old stone cottage in the Dove Valley, for instance, boasts king size bed, compact twin room, tv, video and more importantly, is situated near to a pub serving great food.

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
