Absolutely beautiful property, more than living up to the photos. Well-equipped, spotless, cosy and finished to a high spec. Our visit coincided with an epic storm, but the surrounding area has some beautiful walks and so much is within an easy drive. Owner is lovely; thoughtful, friendly and considerate. Comfortable beds, decent shower, lots of cosy rugs handy for snuggling on the sofa (we ended up watching a couple of films, so the big TV in the living area was perfect). Plenty of crockery, cutlery and utensils and kind touches like coffee pods, biscuits, eggs. Cannot fault it, and we would definitely return (hopefully in nicer weather!).

We had a great time staying at the cottage! Lovely cottage, very well equipped, eggs and milk left for us which was lovely. Very nicely renovated, would love to enjoy the garden on a summers evening with its lovely views!The location is great for exploring the countryside. We used as a base for walks like: stanage edge and ladybower reservoir. So many reservoirs around!We walked to both local pubs and both we lovely. We ate at Ye olde Mustard Pot which we really enjoyed.Would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

Beautiful place to stay, very peaceful and relaxing. Would like to come and say again and will recommend to family and friends. Owners onsite and we was made extremely welcome. Beautiful scenery and nice local places to visit and eat. Property is well equipped and well decorated, secure off-road parking outside the property. Comfort extremely good and value for money.
