The kitchen was well laid-out and had all the things we needed readily to hand. Bedrooms were roomy and wardrobe had dozens of coathangers. Property owner was friendly and responded quickly to queries. Great place for a relaxed getaway.

We had a wonderful weekend in Peak Forest, staying in a beautiful cottage with a wonderful view in a stunning part of the country. The cottage was simply beautiful so well presented and comfortable. Loved it and could not recommend the cottage as a perfect place to stay more highly
