Nice helpful owners. Very scenic area. Parking on site could be a bit of a squeeze if you have a large car! There is alternative parking a short walk away.

The property was a good size and the garden was lovely with great views- the kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. A great location for visiting the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ( long weekend) and would highly recommend. The owner was very friendly and informative with great communication throughout. Walked up (!) to the local pub which did great food. For information the road it is on is very steep and narrow as befitting a village in the Peaks and there is a small parking space for one car outside the cottage.
