  • Eleanor

    The property was very clean and cosy, the owners had put little arrival treats out too. We loved the rural location and the views whilst in the hot tub were amazing. Even though it is rural the location is perfect for visiting lots of the Peak District. We would definitely go back.

  • Sue

    The cottage was really comfortable and had everything we needed with the addition of little gifts left by the host. The hot tub and the views were simply amazing. It was excellent value for money and would recommend to anyone wanting a lovely relaxing break. will be returning.

  • Hannah

    It has gorgeous views of the countryside, which you can enjoy from a lovely hot tub. The owners are very helpful and added some really special, romantic touches (including heart crockery, sweets and mini prosecco on arrival, and cute Cow Shed printed towels - to name a few!). It's very cosy and very clean - I really recommend for a getaway with your partner!
