Great Longstone is a lovely village with 2 great pubs, ideally placed for walks on the doorstep and all around the Peak District. Comfortable, cosy living room, comfy beds and great shower. Really pleased to have a full size fridge freezer plus there is a good selection of kitchenware. The only minor thing to be aware of is the steep steps up to the garden which slippy when wet, could do with outdoor light as its pitch black out there when letting the dog out at night. Otherwise everything spot on and I'm sure we will be back again.
