Lovely Cottage in beautiful setting. Very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Communication from owners prior to visit was great.Access out for lovely walks just a bottom of drive and plenty of great attractions in the local area. Excellent value for money.

Excellent location. It is High Peak area so plenty uphill walks. Quiet and peaceful sitting out area at cottage.Roomy enough for two couples but not huge amount of storage in bedrooms or kitchen but manageable.Chinley is a lovely place and train very handy if wanting to travel into Manchester or Sheffield.Plenty walks from door and places to visit short distance away in car.Supermarkets close by so easy to stock up. Local community shop and chippy were super friendly.
