Sitting in the central regions of Great Britain is a beautiful place you’d consider heaven on earth. Peak District National Park is a lush geographical area at the southern tip of Pennine Hills and stretches a bit over to the northern parts of Derbyshire county. Peak District is one of those places you thought you only see in movies. Its geographical landscape is breathtakingly beautiful that it doesn’t seem real in photos. You will have to go and visit it for yourself because pictures don’t do it justice. Several period pieces took place and were filmed here, including adaptions of “Pride and Prejudice” and “Jane Eyre.” There are plenty of historic buildings located here as well, so history nerds are in for a treat. If you need accommodation, check out some of the best Airbnb vacation rentals near Peak District National Park, UK.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

1. Newly renovated and colorful cottage (from USD 168)

You won’t expect this accommodation to be a 200-year-old cottage because it was just newly renovated and upgraded with adorable and cute interiors. Both of the rooms in the stylish house have their own pastel-color theme. The host also has a background in tourism, so you will be getting free travel tips and sightseeing ideas in Derbyshire. The cottage also charges no cleaning fee— an added bonus! With lots of surrounding space where you can walk around, it’s a good thing this cottage also welcomes dogs.
