We absolutely loved our stay. Lovely, warm and well equipped cottage.It looked so cute as we drove up. The garden was so lovely, although we came in February so we didn’t spend anytime in there but the view was lovely to have breakfast to. Very close to so many attractions and only a short 5/10 mins drive to Morrisons for any essentials. Having milk, tea and coffee and of course cake was a lovely touch. And much appreciated. We will definitely come again! See you soon

Clean and warm accomodation, ideal location for exploring the Peaks, close to Bakewell & Matlock. Communication could have been better and states there is an EV charger, which is in fact on the owners property next door so not as convenient as first thought when booking. EV charging costs also seemingly high. Other than that, would recommend.
