At the very top of Gorsey Bank you will find Hog Cottage which is tucked between another two cottages. It's a picture postcard cottage and in the summer the cottage garden is alive with colour and a stunning Wisteria climbs gracefully up the front of the cottage. It's hard to imagine that this beautiful cottage was once two dwellings and housed the Hat Factory workers families. Once inside, the cleverly converted cottage feels spacious and offers modern day luxuries. You enter the Cottage through a stable front door into a snug area with a desk and easy chairs which offers a perfect place for chilling out on summer evenings. From the snug area, a door leads to a lovely cottage style sitting room with a cosy gas living flame fire, comfy sofa and two chairs.
At the other end of the snug there is an archway through to a newly appointed luxury kitchen which leads into a stunning dining room. The grand dining table looks magnificent against the stone walls, high ceiling and exposed beams. The dining room leads out onto a secure patio area and in the summer months it provides a wonderful alfresco breakfast area with a small bistro table and chairs.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one offering a Colour TV/DVD and new king sized bed, the other with an option of two single beds or king size. There is a luxury appointed bathroom with bath and separate spacious power shower.
This ideal Peak District Country Cottage in Derbyshire is south facing and takes advantage of its position with a cottage garden at the front which is mainly laid with flower beds and a flagged stoned area making it a perfect summer sitting area with its stone brick BBQ. The most charming part of the cottage is the attention to detail and the quirky collection of pigs which adorn the cottage, from cute cuddly soft toys to wooden and pottery pigs they add to the special touch from the owner.

Things you should know
Because of Hog Cottage unique location the entrance road to the cottage is very steep and narrow and although there is parking for one car on the lane outside the cottage many guests find the hill a challenging experience and prefer to park at the bottom of Gorsey Bank. If you do park outside the cottage please be aware you will need to reverse down the hill.
Hog Cottage is over 250 years old and has been modernised over the years, the staircase was replaced 25 years ago and has a handrail and a straight raise, but a little steeper than usual. There is a small step down from the hall to the lounge and landing to the master bedroom
The garden at the front is mainly laid with flagstones with a flower bed and shrubs. There is a small drop wall down to the service road.
