The kitchen is well equipped and all appliances are easy to use. Nice sized bathroom good powerful shower over the bath. The cottage is in a lovely setting with a small garden to sit in. The location is just right for exploring South Derbyshire only around 30mins to Derby and Nottingham. The local pub The Red Lion serve great food especially their pies. And finally the lemon drizzle cake the owners left as a welcoming gesture was exceptional. Will definitely be back again. Thank You
