Lovely cottage with good facilities. Access accurately described. Good location for exploring the area. The boundary wall is low in places so it may not be suitable if your dogs are escape artists!

Well appointed spacious cottage, lovely kitchen/diner. Warm & cosy, with 2 log burners & plenty of wood. 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 bathrooms all clean & tidy.Lovely little welcome basket.Nearby walks for the dog were perfect. Friendly pub on doorstep with a cute snug. Another pub nearby serves food (looks nice but didn’t visit on this occasion).20min drive from Bakewell (worth a visit).

The location of the cottage is great for exploring Chesterfield and the surrounding area. It was a well-equipped cottage and very pet friendly. There are some issues with the cottage however that need attention and have been mentioned in previous reviews. The path to the cottage is dangerously after rain and needs attention. It is also impossible to have a shower which lasts more than two minutes due to the drop in water pressure. There was also no working dishwasher which wasn’t ideal. For the money being paid, these things should be rectified and puts me off staying again.
