Doorstones Cottage

Walking through the entrance of Doorstones Cottage puts you straight into a lived-in space designed for comfort. The ground floor holds a sitting room with a smart TV and an electric wood-burner, alongside a kitchen and dining area equipped for proper cooking—oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge all there. Upstairs are two bedrooms: one with a king bed, the other with a double-over-double bunk arrangement that flexes to suit different group needs. The single shower room and essentials like heating, Wi-Fi and bed linen are all included.

This semi-detached cottage sits in Saddleworth, on the Yorkshire-Lancashire border near Besom Hill Country Park. The surrounding villages—Uppermill, Dobcross and Greenfield—have independent shops and tearooms within a short drive. For walkers and cyclists, the Peak District is under thirty minutes away, and the reservoirs dotted around the area (Dovestone, Chew Brook, Greenfield, Yeoman Hey) offer immediate outdoor access. Manchester is reachable via the Metrolink in about half an hour if you want a day in the city. One small pet stays free, and private parking accommodates three cars. The property is non-smoking.
