We commented on how we could easily spend a week here using it as a base to tour the Peak District and have walks from the door. The due in the crown for us was the enclosed 3 acres field we could use with specially cut paths to walk around and watch the sunset. If there was a downside in the evening thereâs only free view on the tv but there is a good stock of dvds.

It had everything we needed. Really appreciated the welcome hamper as we arrived late. The beds are super comfy. My dog loved the paddocks that are made available just for cottages use, absolute bonus when you have a dog. If you havenât got a dog then still take the time to walk around and take in the views, there is even a bench to relax. Tracey was an amazing host, with lots of ideas for where to go. We will definitely be back as it was a perfect for base to see the sights.
