We had a wonderful week at Station Cottage, Gill and Phil were excellent hosts. The cottage was very clean and the welcome hamper and homemade scones were a lovely surprise and the facilities excellent. The cottage is in a central location, in stunning scenery, close to the many, and varied attractions, that Derbyshire has to offer. We would definitely recommend Station Cottage and hope to visit again soon.

Railway cottage certainly did not disappoint us! The location was fabulous for cycling. Gill was the perfect friendly hostess. We were bowled over by the beautiful welcome hamper and the gorgeous scones, jam and cream. The cottage is well stocked with many personal touches. I think it's the best cottage I have ever stayed in for these little extras. The lounge and second bedroom aren't large but it was adequate for our stay. The views are amazing and it's in a good location for visiting the Peak District. We'd definitely return.
