We had a lovely break at this cottage which is in the perfect place for us to catch up with friends and family. The property is very comfortable in a peaceful location ideal for exploring the Peak District and a short walk from the local dog friendly pub which I can highly recommend. We hope to return.

A beautiful cottage with character, idyllic surroundings and a quick 10 minute journey to Bakewell. My family, children and dog included, loved our stay here. Karen and Mike were really friendly and helpful and the hot tub and enclosed field to exercise the dog and children was perfect. This made a special 40th birthday celebration very special.

A fantastic cottage with all of the amenities, the hot tub was a bonus. Mike was on hand via a phone call if needed, but everything was great. Close to all National trust parks etc and a local pub a 5 minute walk away, what more could you want. Thanks Mike and Karen.
