Comfortable cottage in an amazing location for local walks to Foremark; Repton; Milton and surrounds. The cottage is well equipped with a very spacious bedroom and en-suite bathroom . Bed was really comfortable.

Great cottages in a quiet location with everything needed in a home from home. The owners live on site and were available if needed, otherwise unobtrusive. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage in isolated spot but with adjoining similar holiday cottage and large barn conversion which sleeps 13/14 people. Approach is by long rough cart track so need to drive slowly and carefully. Nice fairly level walks to Anchor Church caves and NT Foremark Reservoir. We were an extended family group so booked cottage and barn which served us very well.
