The location was perfect, remote but easy access to towns and great Pubs that let dogs in. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The log burner was a real treat, not a necessity as the heating was very adequate, but lovely to sit in front of in the evenings. Hope to return again, Liz & Mick Jones & Pip

Perfect cottage nicely situated on top of a hill just far enough far the neighbouring properties, lovely and warm nice log burner and well laid out, we both thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights there
Catherine
The night sky, when clear, was amazing! The location was perfect, very peaceful and remote, yet not too far from towns such as Buxton and Leek. Would recommend visiting Tittesworth Reservoir and Rudyard Lake for circular walks with lovely views. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would book again.
