The property was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable holiday. The fire pit was a wonderful addition, making evenings extra special. The kitchen was fully equipped with excellent utensils, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The owner was very supportive and extremely informative about the activities around the area, which helped us make the most of our stay. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of complimentary champagne and biscuitsâthey made us feel so welcome! The location in Tideswell was perfect for exploring the beautiful Peak District, and the peaceful surroundings added to the charm. Thank you for making our holiday so memorableâwe would definitely recommend this cottage to others!

We arrived to a bag of rubbish on the diningroom table and the master bedroom definately hadn't been hoovered. The carpet was covered in bits we did it. There were no logs for the first fire as described. I rang the contact number and the owner told me where to get some logs from and apologised for the cleanliness. It was such a shame but we didn't let it spoil our break. Also the parking was so tight only room for 1 car and I had instructions not to park down the street else the neighbours would moan.

The decor is lovely, and the kitchen has everything you would want. The bedrooms have a French feel to them, itâs a shame the second bathroom is downstairs through the dining room and kitchen. Close to lots of walks and we found that the star inn did a brilliant Sunday lunch.
