A lovely little cottage, maybe a little too small for more than two people. A fantastic area of the Peak District, plenty of places to explore. The Tiissington trail is only 25 minutes away if you fancy a bike ride. Peak rail is less than 10 minutes away if you fancy a train ride, or you could just walk the various trails in Youlgreave. 3 pubs to choose from, all do good food...

The cottage was nicely fitted out & very comfortable for 2 of us. I think 4 adults would struggle as the kitchen is very small. We took our bikes but unfortunately there was no where to put them apart from in the porch. Parking is tricky as the road is narrow & very busy. Practice your parking skills! There are 2 pubs within walking distance which served good food & very generous proportions.

Great cottage in a great location. Used as a base for local attractions. Two comfortable bedrooms and surprisingly cool front sitting room, which was very welcome in a heat wave. Limited TV reception and no Wifi may be a problem for some, but not if like us we wanted to be less digitally involved.
