"Visit Britain" has awarded Owl Cottage four stars.
The local scenery is fabulous and there are excellent walks straight from the door of the cottage. Cressbrook is a conservation village of significant historical interest and is located within the Wye Valley SSSI. Cressbrook Dale itself is one of five dales in the White Peak which together make up the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve. Walkers heading north out of the village are rewarded by spectacular views of Ravensdale Crags, home to the local population of ravens, while in spring the grassy banks of upper Cressbrook Dale are home to an abundant, beautiful and nationally important display of wild orchids.
Running close to the south of the village, the Monsal Trail follows the route of a disused railway as it winds along beautiful Upperdale towards Monsal Head.
Other activities to enjoy in the area include excellent fishing, superb golf courses and hot-air ballooning flights. For the more energetic holiday maker, the local area provides many opportunities for rock climbing, road cycling and mountain biking, horse riding, caving and hang-gliding.
