  • Melanie

    Very cosy on the cold nights. Brilliant base for visiting relatives and nearby towns in the Peaks. Good local dog walks too. Only thing that would have been handy was a ladle in the utensil drawer

  • Charles

    Slightly old-fashioned in terms of some of the furniture but this adds rather than takes away. Pub over the road had live music on the Saturday but you could not really hear it inside the house. Great also for access to motorways etc and good dog walking territory!

  • Alison

    Very comfy and well maintained. Quiet although its on a main road. We felt very much at home on our break. Would highly recommend it for anyone's stays.
