We have just had a lovely break at The Pig Sty. Great views, cottage, hot tub. Lovely pub just up the road The Peacock. Karen and Mike were on hand if you needed anything. We would love to go back soon but they are very booked up which shows how good the accommodation is. Great find!Christine and glynn

This is an excellent property situated in a fabulous location- easy to get into chesterfield- about 10 min drive into town- the courtyard was private - place to sit, BBQ and hottub - all very welcome and enjoyed to the max! The views were lovely - it was peaceful, tranquil and a great place to recharge your batteries! There is a local pub within walking distance and plenty of choices in general with loads of options to where to go abd what to do next - Eyam, Bakewell and Hardwick Hall were all ticked off the list with lots of lovely places visited for coffee/cake and pitstops on route - the cottage was designed well, very clean with all you needed on hand! There is a store where there is a lending library to get into a good book as part of the relaxing regime and dvds to borrow if you fancy a film night! Robes and additional towels provided for the hot tub - all in all would highly recommend!
