Briar Cottage is a great location being close to both Matlock and Chesterfield. The cottage was originally a barn and nestles in the hill side overlooking beautiful countryside. The village of Alton is right on the edge of the Peak District, with a working cattle farm at its heart. We have a small dog, Bea and a cat called Tilly they are both very friendly and will give you a warm welcome . The cottage is full of charm and character providing an atmosphere of peace & tranquillity. Space You are welcome to join me along with Tilly the cat and Bea the dog in ourcosy bright cottage.
