Lyme East Lodge, Nr Stockport

Cheshire. Sleeps up to 4

Swap grey window views for vast panoramas of green countryside and roaming red deer. You’ll be nestled on the eastern boundary of Lyme’s 1,400 acre historic deer park when you stay in this two-bedroom Edwardian cottage. It overlooks the moorland plateau of Kinder Scout and the historic cage banqueting tower, which was used as a 16th-century hunting lodge. 

Inside the sandstone house you’ll find an inviting space with spacious rooms that retain some of their original features. It can also accommodate your dogs too. There’s a garden at the rear of the cottage for pup to stretch his legs. 

Take advantage of free access to the Lyme estate. Explore its many walking trails or visit the main house where the recent BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was filmed. If you want to delve further into the moorlands and craggy terrains of the Peak District, a 20 minute drive will take you into the heart of the National Park. Or for the spa town of Buxton, it’s just a 35 minute drive from here.
