We enjoyed our stay here. It is very clean and well-equipped and ideally situated for Buxton, Bakewell and many walks in the region. We coped with the low doorways but be careful about the step as you enter the lounge.We would certainly recommend.

I can't fault the cottage it is very comfortable and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. I would make one recommendation to the owners and that would be to have a grab rail fitted over the bath/shower. It is a lovely bathroom but the deepest bath I've ever seen and being 66yrs and short, i found it a struggle to climb in and out safely with no rail. The bed and sofa etc were very comfortable. Everything was spotless. And communication very good. The local chip shop is a must to visit. If I had to put a negative it would be parking, it is on street parking. The first night after going up and down the street I managed to fit in one spot. The following night despite going up and and around the block along high street too there was simply no available space. In desperation and annoyance I finally parked in a spot along side the neighbours wall, not blocking anyone in at all , but also not in a spot I would normally choose and u suspect the neighbours were away
