Ollerbrook Cottages date back to the seventeenth century, maybe earlier. Built of local gritstone with flagged roofs, and set next to the owner's home, they merge into the little hamlet, amidst tall trees, at the base of Kinder Scout, the highest peak in Derbyshire.

The Hope Valley and the Edale Valley lie in the centre of the Peak District, separated by the low ridge between Mam Tor and Lose Hill.

Hope Valley once lay at the centre of the Royal Forest of the Peak, created by the Norman conquerers of England, and there is a Norman castle at nearby Castleton, but Edale was more remote and was probably not permanently settled until the 16th century.

Both Hope Valley and Edale are beautiful situations for holiday cottages, with magnificent views of the local hills, including Kinder Scout, Mam Tor, Back Tor and Lose Hill - and peaceful, tranquil situations too. There is excellent walking from the door.

There are three pubs in the valley, all serving food, two only a few minutes walk away over the fields in Edale Village.
