The cottage is immaculately clean and has everything you could need as well as some special touches! The Peaks once again provided us with some fabulous walks and views, topped off with a pint in the local pub.

It is a beautiful cottage, cosy and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything visitors could want and are friendly should you need any help. The nearby pub does excellent food and provides a friendly welcome. All in all it's a wonderful place to stay.
