Even though the temperature dropped outside, inside we were cosy once we turned on the good central heating and got the log burner going, too. We wanted for nothing - would highly recommend this cottage as a base to explore the surrounding area. The owner was really helpful and communicated with us well in terms of collecting the key, etc, and we appreciated the chocolates and wine that had been kindly left for us to enjoy. Separately to the cottage, the listing is inaccurate as there is no longer a pub in walking distance. The owner said that Sykes has been informed of this but havenât changed the listing. Although not essential, it was a deciding factor when we chose the cottage over another one, so we were disappointed to discover this.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage, peaceful location, just 5mins walk to flash stores where coffee and food is good in a lovely friendly atmosphere.

It was comfortable and clean. Fantastic views. We had a few days of very wet and windy weather (which can only be expected in mid October in the Peaks), but the cottage stayed warm and cosy, especially with the log burner going. Not a big issue for us, but watch out for the uneven staircase, as the top step is bigger than the others and caught us by surprise a few times until we got used to it. Not unexpected, but Internet connectivity was very limited for us in the cottage, as there was no broadband wifi, and mobile data services had weak signal (at least on Three, O2 and Vodafone networks). If you wave your phone at the right window you can get enough data for email, messages, google maps and websites etc, which was all we needed :-) But don't expect to be able to stream video. Oh, and the fridge could do with a light in it, but that's hardly worth mentioning. ha ha. We had a very nice week in this charming little cottage. Recommended.
