We had a brilliant stay. Everyone was so friendly on the farm, we were made to feel very welcome! Our daughter loved exploring the yard and fields and playing with the farm cats. Great views of Dove Dale valley just a short walk away. Loads of great places to visit just a 20-30 minute drive away. The house had a brilliant selection of games, puzzles and books to keep us entertained. Kitchen was very well equipped and there was the best welcome pack we’ve ever had with a delicious home made cake, bread, milk and eggs.

Dawn cottage is situated in the most beautiful position above Dave Dale. A short work from the cottage, across a field is the place they call 'the view' and what a view, fabulous. The farmer and his wife were very friendly with lots if advice and thr farm has lots of lovely animals. The cottage itself was fine but lacking in character and down stairs was not enough natural light and a small court yard garden with no view but it was comfortable, clean and tidy and we arrived to find a delicious home made cake as well as bread, eggs and milk. The fabulous situation made up for thr lack ofncharacter in the cottage andnit was reasonabley priced . If I could change one thing, it would be to put clear glass in the door window, so you could see out of the property down stairs. Privacy could be provided by blind. Thr opaque window made us feel enclosed in and it would have been nice to see out onto the farm
