Fantastic location (very central with tea shops next door), the cottage had everything I needed. Loved that the village was small enough to savour all the history and that it was also surrounded by lots of scenic/ varied terrain walks (within a 15 min drive) - we explored Padley Gorge, Eyam Moor, Frogatt, Curbar & White Edge, Monsal Trail & Chee Gorge. The host was very responsive to queries and forthcoming with recommendations.
