Mr Miles
Excellent farmhouse with a real history. Great location for Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth House and Hardwick etc. The welcome pack was above expectation and our thanks goes for a great family holiday. Highly recommended.

Mr Wilson
The property is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped with a good broadband signal and modern smart TV. The host was warm & welcoming and had us settled in no-time-at-all. All rooms were cleaned to a high standard and the beds proved very comfortable. The property location is ideal for visits to Bakewell, Matlock and Chatsworth House, and as a manageable base for walks in the Derwent Valley. We had a very relaxing stay and heartily recommend this property as an ideal residence for large families or groups of friends

Much to celebrate about the house. Our host was excellent and we loved the box of goodies with a lovely welcoming fire when we arrived. The location is great for short or longer walks and perfect for dog owners. We will be back!
