A wonderful time in a stunning part of the country. Fantastic walks. Lovely and warm/cosy. Well equipped kitchen but could the knives in the block be sharpened?Comfy beds. Really appreciated the time taken to buildup the local guides provided.We want to come back when the weather is warmer to make more use of the outside spaces and explore further.

Lovely cottage in beautiful area, everything needed for a good holiday experience was provided. The nearby village of Longnor has a lovely pub serving Robinson's beer and nice food. The cottage was very comfortable and we really apreciated the fresh fruit provided in the welcome pack and the log burner was great.

Great based for exploring. Well equipped cottage having everything you could possibly need. Could do with a deep clean eg carpet mats, under beds, cushions, oven etc but understandable it may be a busy season. Honestly thought photos showed garden attached but it's mainly a gravel front with a very small area of grass opposite and shrubs around the edges outside, with kids they look forward to a garden to play. Gets very hot upstairs, the only 'window' is the large fire escape door, it's preffered not to be opened. In the twin room downstairs the only air flow is the fire escape door which with 2 kids sleeping we wouldn't leave open. These are just to be aware of as its been so hot. All in all it does the job for a base in a beautiful area.
