We really enjoyed our week at the Candle House. Longnor is a lovely little village, well located between Buxton and Leek. Cottage was really well equipped with 3 bedrooms that meant a couple and two adult children could comfortably stay.

Faff on getting the key from the lockbox on what seemed like the hottest day of the year. It wasn’t a simple enter a code, had to pull something down and twist. Just wanted to get into the cottage, not Fort Knox. Property was nice enough, and pleasantly cool downstairs given the hot weather. Parking situation is just a case of wherever you can find one. A two minute walk from the cottage is a few cafes and pubs, as well as a corner shop.

Fabulous cottage, clean and comfortable. And the wine, milk, crisps and biscuits were really appreciated. Will definitely book again.
