This is an excellent property situated in a fabulous location- easy to get into chesterfield- about 10 min drive into town- the courtyard was private - place to sit, BBQ and hottub - all very welcome and enjoyed to the max! The views were lovely - it was peaceful, tranquil and a great place to recharge your batteries! There is a local pub within walking distance and plenty of choices in general with loads of options to where to go abd what to do next - Eyam, Bakewell and Hardwick Hall were all ticked off the list with lots of lovely places visited for coffee/cake and pitstops on route - the cottage was designed well, very clean with all you needed on hand! There is a store where there is a lending library to get into a good book as part of the relaxing regime and dvds to borrow if you fancy a film night! Robes and additional towels provided for the hot tub - all in all would highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage, in picturesque location. Extremely well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub is an added extra delight. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The hosts Karen and Mike were very friendly and helpful. The Peacock Inn (a very short distance up the road) is a fantastic hostelry for food and drink and to be highly recommended! All in all we had a wonderful four days and wished we could have stayed longer. We hope to return.

A truly lovely stay. It's a beautiful cottage and had all we needed. The handy dog field was great plus absolutely beautiful woods for an early morning or evening stroll with our dog... And a couple of stops at the very local pub The Peacock (great food and vibe). It was a great base to visit Bakewell, Chatsworth, Castleton up to Mam Tor but the Linacre reservoir walk straight from the cottage was an unexpected delight. The hit tub was very welcome after long days hiking. Definitely recommend..hope to make a return visit soon.
