We had a wonderful week here. The cottage is tucked away from the road and very peaceful. There is good walking directly from the cottage and Youlgreave is a lovely village. We had everything we needed and the cottage was comfortable and cosy and well set out.If you have a dog that likes to explore you should note the garden is not secure. Will definitely return.
