The property which features four cottages sleeping between two and four guests, offers superior five star accommodation with each property offering unique features from crystal chandeliers to luxury open fires. Guests are also treated to a luxury hamper on arrival.

Owner, Steve Ogan said: “Being proud of our cottages, the service we offer to guests, and our passion for quality, is what we do. We strive to be the very best in everything we undertake. The accolade of being the best Self Catering Holiday in England is brilliant and helps fly the flag for the magnificent Peak District and Derbyshire.”

Winning silver in the same category is Doxford Cottages in Northumberland. These luxury properties offer spacious and stylish accommodation with the added privacy of being based on 2,500 acre estate. The whole estate comprises eight cottages sleeping between two and eight guests making them ideal for all types of visitor.

The silver award for Access for All, which recognises the best tourism organisations offering facilities for disabled visitors, was picked up by Hidelow House Cottages near Malvern, Worcestershire. Hidelow House Cottages comprises seven properties, three of which are NAS graded as fully wheelchair accessible.

Owner Pauline Diplock tells of the importance of welcoming all visitors, “At Hidelow House Cottages, we aim to provide worry-free luxury holiday accommodation with second-to-none care, service and specialist facilities for both Disabled Guests and their Carers.

“Disabled guests are well catered-for, with three cottages that are fully accessible for wheelchair users.
