It is decorated to English Heritage standards and all external walls are lime plastered with pony hair binding it together! TORSIDE LOCATION AND NATURAL HISTORY Torside is tucked away in the stunning and 'other worldly' Peak Cavern Gorge, a tranquil corner of Castleton. It is a popular film set location due to the immediately dramatic scenery. Wildlife enthusiasts might see several species of bat flitting about, trout in Peakshole Water (AKA The Styx) and hear Tawny Owls calling in Spring. The nearby Peak Cavern is a Jackdaw roost, which can provide wonderful entertainment on a warm Summer's evening. Torside is the nearest dwelling to Peak Cavern, which has the largest land based cave entrance in the British Isles and is also a SSSI. The cavern was home to one of Britain's last troglodyte communities until 1915. Peak Cavern is owned by the Duchy of Lancaster and several tours are conducted daily. It is a short walk away from the village centre, with 6 pubs, several cafes, village bakery and Blue John jewellery shops. There is also a Visitors Centre and 4 show caverns to investigate.. FAMILY FRIENDLY - Stair gate on landing - High chair, travel cot and bedding available on request. - Selection of children's toys and books. CASTLETON Castleton is well-equipped for visitors. There are 6 pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, 4 show caverns (and events therein), Blue-John Jewellery shops, Peveril Castle, Ancient Garland Ceremony, Christmas lights, Winnats Pass, geology galore (e.g. Mam Tor landslip), walker's paradise, post office, village store and bakery and an informative Visitor's Centre. NEARBY Many major tourist attractions are within a short drive: Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Lyme hall and Park and Eyam (historically a Plague village). Child focused attractions include The Chestnut Centre (Otter and Owl Sanctuary), The Heights of Abraham and Gulliver's Kingdom (Matlock Bath, 27 miles) and Alton Towers (38 miles). Buxton, an historic spa town is a 20 minute drive away. It is the highest market town in England. Visitor attractions include Poole's Cavern, Go Ape, Go-Karting and St Ann's Well. Buxton Opera House is one of Britain's leading receiving theatres, presenting around 450 performances each year. The pavilion Gardens are excellent for a picnic and a wander on a warm day.

Torside is a beautiful cottage in a perfect location for exploring local walks and caverns. The secluded corner of Castleton was very peaceful, although it probably gets much busier in season when there are more visitors to Pesk Cavern. Communication with Lisa was excellent and the house was spotless.
5.0
Lovely cottage in this nice village. Walking trails right outside the cottage ending up in one of many nice pubs. The cottage is very cosy, perfect for a family of four.
5.0
Four of us, all keen walkers, stayed here for five days. Communication with Lisa was great and property was well equipped, nicely furnished and well located in walking distance of trains, buses, a wide choice of cafes and restaurants, and the entrance to Peak Cavern. It was perfect in every way.
4.0
We loved our stay at Torside, which is located besides steep wooded cliffs and close to a scenic brook. The cottage is impeccably clean, thoughtfully furnished, and a very short walk to a parking lot. All of town is a stone’s throw away as is access to Peak Cavern. The only negative was that Peak Cavern is sometimes used for loud concerts that shatter the peace (but only until 10pm). We can highly recommend this cottage for families or groups (there are two very well appointed bedrooms).

Our family of 3 rented this property and all of us loved our 4 night break there. The location is on the edge of the village, so only a 1-2 minute walk for an evening meal. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from and we didn't have a bad meal. There are loads of walking opportunities right from the door step so you've always got something to do.
The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, the property was spotless and had a really good 'feel' to it. An excellent stay with excellent hosts and we cannot wait to come back.
Thanks very much indeed.
Jon, Nicki and Freddie.

Really helpful hosts, who met us at the property and made us feel really welcome. Cottage was spotless and in a superb location from which to walk to local pubs and access castle, cave and walks. Often quite a challenge to satisfy the needs of a teen, but ours said he had the best holiday ever!

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage with a very friendly and communicative owner in a village that we love. Our second visit to Tor Cottage and would love to return again.

This is a beautiful cottage, well maintained and laid out, in the pretty village of Castleton. It is the last cottage before the UK's largest cave entrance known rather unattractively as 'The Devil's Arse'. The cottage is accessed by walking along a little path alongside a stream between houses, leaving your car in a car park about 3 mins away. It's a lovely location and lovely comfortable cottage. Lisa was really helpful and prompt with communication and helping us. We definitely recommend it and would love to return in future. Thank you!

The cottage is at the end of a narrow lane, with your immediate neighbour to the right being the Devil’s Arse Cavern.
It must be huge inside, as they show movies in there. On one of our evenings there, as we were coming home at dusk, they must have been showing a horror movie of some sort, as there was spooky music emerging from the cave. This, together with the somewhat Gothic appearance of the craggy cliff face alongside the cottage was a magnificently atmospheric experience that you could vainly travel the world in search of anything like it.
The practicalities of the cottage are first rate. It’s much more spacious than it appears outside, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. We were made very welcome on checking in , with lots of information about the area.
We had a wonderful time, and hope to return again.

What a wonderful place Torside is. The cottage was beautifully finished with every amenity you could possibly need. The location was perfect for walking and exploring this area of the Peak District.

The owners have done an exceptional job and were so gracious in their hospitality- Thank You for sharing Torside with us
