What an amazing cottage! We had a short break here but wished it had been longer. The cottage was spotless, all the furniture was comfortable - we particularly liked the reclining sofas after our days out. The gardens, front and back, were peaceful and gave a lovely bit of extra space to sit and relax in. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and everything matched!We would highly recommend this cottage.

Only disappointment was no ice for gin and tonics! Otherwise, splendid.I want to know who owns the Fordson Major, Massey Ferguson 35 and International tractors in the paddocks behind the property. Surely they are not being left to rot! Icons of my youth - they must be restored!

Lovely cottage where me and my family loved staying for a few days. Clean, everything needed available and we slept very well. Well located in the Peak District. Would recommend.
