We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River View. It was a really lovely property that was well maintained with everything we needed to enjoy our Christmas there. The village is less than a 10 minute walk where there is a shop and some good pubs. Plenty of fab walks from the door or a short drive away.Sharon responded quickly to any questions we had about the property. The only thing we'd suggest is more wood being available for the log burner in the winter, though we knew to bring some extra as we'd spoken to Sharon about this beforehand. Thanks for a great stay!

A comfortable, snug cottage in beautiful surroundings. Great area for walking. Cottage had all we needed. The owner was clear with her instructions and the facilities for the cottage were set down on an ipad. The Christmas markets in nearby Bakewell and Chatsworth were great. Local stalls selling a variety local produce at reasonable prices. A lovely few days away, in spite of the weather.
