We had a wonderful stay in Middlecroft, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for the week.The dog shower next door was well utilised, after a cool wet ish week, even better that we didn’t have to launder the towels - thank you so much.Litton is so close to lots of beautiful walks, Miller’s Dale, Monsal Trail, Chee Dale, Ladybower, Bamford Edge and lots more!We had a wonderful week - thank you, would definitely recommend.

Great friendly hosts at the cottage. Lovely selection of tea, coffee and milk plus chocolates and cakes, which was a lovely touch. The cottage was nice and warm and had everything you could need. We even saw a lamb being born! It’s in a beautiful area and the pub opposite is lovely too with good food. Would highly recommend this cottage.
