Park Cottage

Park Cottage is a Grade II listed 17th Century thatch cottage recently refurbished by the Duchess of Devonshire to provide self-catering holiday accommodation for three people.

Park Cottage came to the Devonshire Estate in 1823 as part of an exchange of land between the 6th Duke of Devonshire, and the Duke of Rutland, and was at that time occupied by an estate labourer.

An estate survey carried out in 1858 described the property "House, stone and thatched. House place, Kitchen, Pantry, two Chambers and small Stable adjoining." It is thought that the small stable is the slate roof, single storey section of the property which has in modern times been used as a kitchen and bathroom.

Set on the edge of the village of Baslow, Park Cottage has direct private access to the Chatsworth Park and its own private walled garden. Guests at Park Cottage are free to walk at any time (with their dogs on a lead) through the 1,100 acres of Chatsworth Park which owes much of its appearance to Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.
