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

We arrived at about 5pm and the cottage was very cold .The heating had just come on bearing in mind it is very old and a lovely setting it would have been lovely to arrive to a warm welcoming home.It took ages to warm up and as my hubby has been quite ill he and I felt the cold. We thought that we would be ok but then I became unwell too so thinking about the coldness we had had the previous night we decided to come home.It is the first time we have ever done this and it is a hard thing to do.The setting was lovely great views and the field for the dogs was ideal.The owner was lovely and there to meet us so I feel it is such a shame the coldness got to us . We left because of the coldness so sad .

Pictures don't do it justice. Host Jane greeted us at the property, lovely lady, nothing was too much trouble. Perfect host and very accommodating.
