The Dairy is spotlessly clean and cosy. It's very well equipped and the hosts are welcoming. It's very near to the village of Delph with shops cafes and even an Italian restaurant. The surrounding area has some great villages and stunning views. The access lane is a bit unloved and needs careful negotiation but wouldn't put us off going again. All in all a great break!
