We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Godfrey Hole Cottage. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. There were clear instructions for the cooker, dishwasher, boiler and shower. The complementary basket of wood for the log burner was much appreciated. The wood burner very easy to light and helped with the slight autumn chill of a September evening. Beds were made up and comfortable. Everything has been well thought through. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage sits approximately 50 yards from a B road which at times caused some traffic noise but generally it was very quiet with a lovely view across to a meadow with grazing cows. Nearby Wirksworth is a pretty small town, with its own markets and small shops, as well as a Coop and petrol station.
