The property was great, warm, cosy and welcoming after arriving in heavy snow. Rooms and facilities were some of the best we have seen both inside and out. The location of property is great for visits to Asbourne, Chatsworth, Bakewell and Buxton and we will definitely use the property again in the future and would highly recommend

A few very minor points that worth mentioning in case nobody has done so before. The list is a bit long but please be assured we enjoyed the stay. - the floor light in the sitting room does not work - tv Ariel cable broken so no TV and and hdmi cable would have been handy as a backup. - the table tennis net is broken one side and no obvious cover to snooker table to allow playing. - be handy to know the make of the coffee machine to arrive with some capsules, or provide them. The bathroom in the bedroom next to the sitting room smells slightly damp, very possibly a leak from the shower screen
