The cottage could do with a deep clean and maybe some new furniture as the settees were uncomfortable when sitting for any length of time. The bottom three stairs were a little dangerous to manoeuvre as they werenât enclosed and consequently had no handrail.

A super garden for the furry member of the family to have fun in. A couple of criticisms, could do with towel upgrades, bath towels much to small for ladies. Teaspoons very low in number as was decent wine glasses so we donated 6 teaspoons and 4 nice wine glasses for future use. Would be happy to book again in future.

Quiet spot but within easy striking distance of all the Peak District attractions. Friendly neighbours too. Hope to return later this year.
