The cottage is in a great location with a shop selling everyday items and a selection of home-made cakes. The pub across the road, the Red Lion, serve great food. Tideswell is only about 15min walk away with more shops and cafes. Monsail Head and Bakewell are a short car ride away.After a day of walking and exploring it was great to relax in this spacious cottage.
