Third time we have stayed at this cottage. Beautifully situated in Edale Valley. Cafes, pubs and a little shop within walking distance via permissive paths. Walks from the doorstep and you could even catch the train from Edale. We didn’t have to drive anywhere once there. Beautiful cottage with everything you could need, which is why we have come back many times .
