Nicely presented and well equipped perfect for 2. Set in beatuiful farming countryside. Enjoyed the farm animals, the ice cream and wonderful homemade cake. All on the farm were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you to all.

The cottage itself is much better than photos and spacious. Location is ideal to visit both historical towns and attractions. We really enjoyed staying and made unforgettable time. So looking forward to visiting there soon. Really recommend other people to stay if you're looking for experiencing real Peak District countryside holiday.
