We stayed at Perkins cottage with 4 friends for a weekend. We had a great time. It’s a lovely country cottage, comfortable and cosy in the middle of a small village, 2 mins walk to an excellent pub/restaurant. There are great views across the valley. Several tourist attractions are within 30 mins drive. We enjoyed a day in Chatsworth Park and Matlock.

Well equipped and comfortable. Good pub serving food just a couple of minutes walk down the road, but no local shops.

Overall it was one of the best cottages we have stayed in, the accommodation was superb with all the facilities one could want, as a group of four pensioners we definitely needed a car which we had.The bus service was rather infrequent, which was quite understandable given the location of the village. The village being quiet with wonderful landscapes, great for keen walkers. We would recommend this cottage wholeheartedly.
