Lovely 200+years old cottage, in a perfect location in the heart of the village of Youlgrave. Amazing views, and close to all the places you could wish to visit in the Peaks. I have given five stars for everything, because we had no expectations other than to have a lovely holiday, which we did, and the cottage helped make that possible. Everything is clean, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfy, and the sitting room is a cool and cozy area to relax in an evening after long days spent out in the heat. Will definitely visit again.

We loved our stay at Wildflower Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed. The views from the cottage were stunning and there was a lovely river walk nearby. The 2 pubs in the village served good pub food. A great base to explore the Peaks. We’d love to come back.
