Had a lovely stay, cottage is in a fabulous area of Derbyshire, walking from the door, a handy bus route nearby, great shower, good sized bedroom, the walk way to the cottage entrance and garden area was obstructed by the hedge which made passing awkward especially when carrying luggage and shopping. Handy onsite parking.
