Absolutely beautiful cottage, Heather was very welcoming and even gifted some yummy homemade cupcakes, fresh veg and milk. Hot tub was lush. Lovely views of fields and handy for dog walks. Garden at cottage was suitable for the dog inclosed and safe, bonus was a stair gate on stairs to contain dog in the house. Location is great to go into the Peak District about 30 min drive.
