HELLO!

Situated in the village of Rainow, Waterfall Cottage is an idyllic, relaxing escape. 


Rainow lies in the foothills of the Pennines, straddling the Cheshire boundary of the Peak District National Park.


To the east of the village are the sprawling moorlands and hills of Derbyshire and to the west, the Cheshire plains roll out in front of you. 


The cottage is surrounded by open farmland, and is located directly opposite a beautiful Mill Pond which is home to many a happy duck! You can sit in the Summer House and hear the trickling water of the weir at the end of the Mill Pond, which then runs to the River Dean, with a beautiful waterfall just a short walk away at Ingersley Vale.


You will feel like you have truly escaped – yet you still have everything on your doorstep.


Location

The nearest town is Macclesfield, just 3 miles away. 

Manchester, which is 17 miles to the North, and London, which is 180 miles to the South, are both directly accessible by train from Macclesfield railway station.
 
Manchester International Airport is thirty minutes away by car.

Enjoy some stunning walks directly from the cottage, or venture only slightly further afield for some wilder scenery and more challenging walking. Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District (and Derbyshire, and the East Midlands!) is a short drive away and there is some fantastic walking to be done around Edale, Castleton and Hope. The Goyt Valley is another favourite option.

Lyme Park is also close by, which offers a super day out with plenty of walking opportunities around it’s moorland.

If walking isn’t your thing, Waterfall Cottage can still be a wonderful escape for you. With Macclesfield and Manchester being so nearby you can also enjoy everything a town or city has to offer, but come home to an idyllic retreat.
