Owners just next door if you have a problem. Ideal place for buxton, bakewell (used the bus from the bus stop at the end of the lane) and the Monsal Trail is nearby. Amazing holiday, we will definitely book here again

Superb views from the room. Position is excellent almost in the middle between Buxton and Matlock. Monsal trail is very near. Mick and Lesley were lovely.
