Large outdoor area all fenced off with a patio space & plenty of seating (to watch the wildlife) The cottage is cozy with an amazing log burner in the lounge. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need. Has modern bathroom with shower. The master bed room has a king size bed with a window in the roof, the bed was realy comfortable with great pillows and nice white bedding. I would highly recommend this place. We stayed with our little dog and she loved the open space.

Everything was there we needed. Good location. Lovely places to walk and not too far from Glossop town. Dog friendly garden.

The cottage could do with a deep clean and maybe some new furniture as the settees were uncomfortable when sitting for any length of time. The bottom three stairs were a little dangerous to manoeuvre as they werenât enclosed and consequently had no handrail.
