We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Riverview Cottage, it was spotlessly clean, warm and very comfortable and brilliant for us to find they have an EV charger by the front door. The welcome goodies in the cottage were a real treat and we were made to feel very welcome by Wayne. The cottage is perfectly situated for local walks, particularly along the Manifold Valley which is beautiful and has a Visitor Centre in Hulme End. The Manifold Inn is only a few yards from the cottage, it is a popular spot that serves good food and is even open for a cooked breakfast, perfect if you're setting off for the day. There are some lovely towns and villages in the area, Bakewell in particular is only about 12 miles away.The cottage suited us very well and would be ideal for a young family but I think it would feel cramped for 4 adults. We would happily stay there again.
