A beautifully appointed dwelling boasting outstanding scenery and incredible views, this cottage is the perfect location for families, friends of five or two couples who seek an escape to the rural Derbyshire Dales.

Place a log on the pretty woodburning stove and watch the fire flicker as you kick back and relax on the sofas and search for a movie to watch on the Smart TV.

Venture downstairs and take a seat at the dining table as your glass fills with wine and the room fills with divine scents from the food cooking away in the kitchen. Tuck into a lovingly made meal and laugh with your loved ones as you recall fond memories from past holidays and toast to making more memories in the days to come.

Cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable, whole process was hassle free and just what you need after a long drive.

Perfect for a couple with children or 3-4, (we were 2 so it was really perfect!). There is something 'right' about all of the little things especially layout- its all really practical and sensible.The way the kitchen works and where things are stored: All small things that make a huge difference! Beds were great, cottage was really clean, amazing views, feels very remote but actually not far from anything, and the snow was a real bonus! Only slight negative is I don't think the supply is good enough to charge an e-MTB (I might be wrong, but we didn't risk it). A real sense of peace and God's presence in this cottage and the great views! Thanks so much for a great holiday!

The cottage is completely set in its own space but isnât isolated as you can walk to a nearby pub a country road and probably over footpaths in better weather. The host left us a nice cake which was very generous. We (me and two adult friends), just felt the house needed a few basics looked at - probably things that just need to be kept up as the property is rented and you might not consider if youâre not actually staying there yourself. Nothing major but for instance, whilst there was plenty of firewood there was no matches so we had to go buy some after we arrived - also ice as there was no ice trays for making a G&T, just 3 wine glasses, not enough loo roll provided - and no cooking oil, pepper etc although there was tea and coffee and so on. The knives and peelers were broken or blunt so it was hard to prepare meals. None of this would go against me staying again but we would have liked to have known at least as then you can enjoy the cottage more.
