The cottage was cozy thanks to the underfloor heating. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas which certainly added to the atmosphere. The cottage is well appointed throughout, a well stocked kitchen, more than enough crockery and utensils for four occupants, a generous dining area and a huge lounge with two very comfortable settees as well as an armchair. The bedrooms and bathrooms were tip top. This is a faultless cottage, plenty of room for four adults or a family. It is very well positioned for visits to Chatsworth, Bakewell, Buxton, Haddon Hall and the numerous walking trails in the area. I would certainly consider another visit should we return to the area.

Clean, comfortable, friendly host, very well equipped for cooking, cleaning etc... we did not need an additional item (never had that before), very thoughtful with milk on arrival and basics such as oil, salt etc. Extremely warm. My only area for comment improvement would be a welcome book/ page with some key info. We didn't see the local area leaflets until the last day as they were in a draw we didn't need to open. Check out instructions would of been helpful as i had to refer to my emails. Lastly, and most importantly, instructions on how to adjust the heating as it was too hot for us, especially in the living room as it takes a long time to cool down. Lovely feeling though laying down on underfloor heated carpet after a long walk. Would 100% recomend and stay again! I loved hearing the sound of cows.

One of the best holiday lets we have stayed in. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending. Just a few minutes drive from Longnor, one of our favourite areas. We must have driven past this accommodation dozens of times and not known it was there!
