We were welcomed by David who was very friendly, he talked us through everything we needed to know for our stay. The cottage was clean, well furnished with quality towels, bedding and furniture, with some very nice decorative touches. A plentiful supply of hot water, central heating and a wood burner all add to the levels of comfort. A generous welcome basket with a wide range of supplies and milk and butter in the fridge was a lovely gesture. The kitchen is well equipped and even has a slow cooker! There is also a freezer available for your use in an adjacent barn. The cottage also has a TV in the bedroom which is an added luxury. If you need WiFi it was fast and reliable. Plenty of outdoor seating to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the really peaceful garden. The location is well off the road down a long drive so you could hear a pin drop as it's so quiet. David and Andreaâs cottage is a real get away from it all location whilst being on the doorstep of some of Derbyshireâs best places to visit. To sum up, if you are looking for a clean comfortable and well-appointed cottage with "home from home' comforts then you can't go wrong with a stay at March Hare Cottage. Thank you, we will be back !

Only thing to stop us staying again, was the many bright security lights that lit up the grounds all night, and with no blinds on the skylights and no blackout blinds on the window the bedroom never got dark.
