The Coach House Self-Catering Studio Apartment
High Street, Tideswell, Buxton, SK17 8LD, England, Derbyshire, North of England
Stunning church views from this Peak District Haven
The Coach House is a wonderful self-contained studio apartment in the grounds of The Old Vicarage B&B in the conservation village of Tideswell. The Coach House is also Grade II listed and is a perfectly delightful room, freshly furnished with stylish exposed beams and stonework. The room has a kingsized bed and kitchenette, with views of the Old Vicarage B&B and the High Street. It’s set on the first floor of a detached coach house conversion, with a narrow set of stairs leading down to the private bathroom on the ground floor. It’s worth the steps for the roll-top slipper bath alone: it’s a nicer bathroom than you’d expect and is perfect for soaking off the strains of a long Peak District hike. The cooking facilities are not extensive but they’re all that you need, especially given how many restaurants and pubs are scattered around Tideswell itself.
Though the Coach House is primarily self-catering breakfasts can be taken in the Old Vicarage’s main house by arrangement, and you can also make use of their many excellent facilities that make your stay super-convenient. There’s clothes washing available for long-stay guests, a drying room for wet clothes, secure storage for bicycles and some bike repair facilities. Books and leaflets suggest a range of walking and cycling routes: you’re in the heart of the Peak District National Park here so there are plenty of stunning paths to explore.
In summer, the Old Vicarage’s walled garden comes into its own. Facing south, it covers an acre of land leading up to the churchyard. There are plenty of shady corners to enjoy long summer evenings, lots of level lawn for games of croquet. flowerbeds for colours and scents, and a lovely summerhouse for a drink or two.
The Old Vicarage suggests:
Tideswell is a classic Peak District village as yet unspoilt by having too many tourists: though it is super-close to one of the area’s iconic attractions, the ‘Cathedral of the Peak‘, it is right in the centre of the National Park and near all it’s most beautiful regions.

"Both Tricia and her husband Andrew were friendly. Good communication from date of booking and very welcoming. Lovely touch of bread, butter, milk marmalade. Thank you much appreciated. The property is in a great location for walking. Some lovely restaurants and bars very close by. The accommodation is immaculate with quality fixtures and fittings. The bed and bed linen made for a wonderfully comfortable night. Super comfy Ercol sofa. We were also lucky enough to spend time in their beautiful walled garden. Would highly recommend. Thank you both for a wonderful stay excellent value for money." Tanya, March 2026Accreditations
