  • Margaret

    Great location

  • Helen

    We were a group of four couples and the layout ensured we all had enough privacy. The beds were super comfy and ensured everyone had a good nights sleep. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and has everything you need for your stay. The kitchen was very well equipped so perfect if you decided to stay in and cook. We ate at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese a couple of times which was reasonably priced and served good quality homemade food. The pub is a two minute walk from the property. There are numerous walks in the area and Chatsworth House was a 30 minute drive. We would definitely return to the property.
