The accommodation exudes charming characteristics, with beautiful modern furnishings throughout, and is a great place to bring the kids and get lost in luscious countryside in one of the most beautiful parts of Derbyshire. The cottage layout is over two floors, with a ground floor shower room as well as the upstairs family bathroom, so no need to wait in line in the morning to use the facilities.

You will find all of the utensils you need to cook up the perfect family meal in the well-appointed modern kitchen. Head up and out into the secluded, verdant garden area and look out over delightful rooftop scenery, enjoying those late summer nights while the kids play on the lawn. There are some excellent routes for walkers and cyclists in the local area as well as trail and fell running to enjoy Why not stretch your legs and stroll along to the famous viewpoint at Monsal Head or follow the Monsal Trail? There are many paths which will lead you to superb panoramic views.

The location was perfect for numerous dog walks from the front door as well as a cold water plunge in one of the local gorges. The cottage was incredibly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We hope to come again.
