The cottage is in a great position for visiting the beautiful villages of the Derbyshire Dale's and there are many walking opportunities close by. We had a great holiday visiting Chatsworth, Buxton, Tideswell and did lots of great walks. The village pub which is a 10 minute walk serves good food and is dog friendly.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Dairy. The cottage was very comfortable in a marvellous location convenient for trips to Eyam, Castleton, Buxton and Matlock. We enjoyed walking into the village to the Bull Inn. The fields full of baby lambs were a bonus.
Mrs Frame
We enjoyed a fantastic week here. Penny was very responsive and helpful, without being intrusive. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed.
