Western House is set in a quiet location among a cluster of cottages of a similar age, and older, at the foot of Grindsbrook Clough in one of the country’s now scarce dark spots, with no street lighting and hence no light pollution. From the front gate there are some of the best and most picturesque walks in the Peak District. Edale has two pubs the Old Nag’s Head and the Ramblers – both of which are within very easy walking distance from the house.
