"Plenty of walks both from the cottage and within a short drive. Very pet friendly. Hosts on site, helpful and welcoming, (though not intrusive) especially when our Cavilier, Biscuit, managed to find a small gap in the otherwise secure garden. Louise and Daren immediately set about repairing it, thank you! Thank you also for the welcome cake, biscuits and milk, very much appreciated."
"Perfect for a single person or couple. Owners on hand if needed but not at all intrusive. Would recommend."
"It was well equipped and furnished to a high standard. We wanted for nothing. TV with lots of channels, clean and well maintained. We met the owners Daren and Louise who were very welcoming and said if we needed anything to let them know. We will be back next year. Phil Jacqui and Bear who loved freedom in enclosed garden"
"Loved everything! A very peaceful holiday!"
"Very peaceful and amazing views. It has all the comforts you need, underfloor heating, great smart tv , roll top Bath and Netflix and it even has a dishwasher."
"The owners were on site and quickly dealt with a problem I had with my dog escaping through the hedge. Very friendly. Well worth a visit"
"Very homely cottage, nice lawn area for our dog. Attentive hosts and would highly recommend."
"It was so wonderful, I wanted to live there! Both Louise & Darren are lovely hosts, genuinely wanting their guests to feel at home. Cottage has the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, the bath was luxurious with piping hot water. Kitchen had all necessary essentials, plenty of books & DVD's in the lounge area and a very comfy sofa which looks out onto the private, grassed garden. Biscuits & milk were left as a 'welcome' which was very much appreciated. Although the cottage backs onto the road, there was hardly any traffic and no traffic could be heard at all from inside the cottage. There was under-floor heating too which my dog loved to lie on, preferring it to his doggy bed. The weather wasn't too great with intermittent high winds, sleet and hail, but I was more than cosy and it was lovely sitting on the sofa, looking out into the garden and changes in weather. As someone who thrives amongst nature, peace & quiet, this cottage was perfect. I would highly recommend this cottage and I hope to book again, perhaps in the Autumn. Thank you so much Darren & Louise."
"It was very nicely furnished and even had a few bits of decoration up for Christmas. The garden was plenty big enough for our Spaniel to zoom in, but we did have to keep him on his long-line as he could jump over the wall. Really quite location and perfect access to the peak district and walking routes. Facilities were great, even had WIFI and an amazon firestick with an various streaming apps already logged in and ready to go. We will be visiting again!"
"Maybe a shelf under the mirror in the bathroom? Maybe when payment is complete, a breakdown of what's available at the cottage so people don't take duplicate items."
" The cottage was ready earlier than stated time and the owner Louise contacted us facilitating our early arrival. The cottage fitted our needs perfectly as we had a large dog and the outside space was safe and secure. Underfloor heating was a bonus, especially if you forget your slippers. The bedroom was spacious and well furnished with plenty of storage space and the bed was comfortable. Parking was provided specifically for the cottage and additional off road parking was always accessible. We would definitely recommend and return to this property. "
" Your cottage was a great base for our break visiting the Peak District "
" Would definitely return and recommend to anyone "
" .peaceful..a great mixture of places to visit...to return to cottage with my young dog..who had a great time in private garden...hoping to return next year.xx "
" I felt very safe with the covid situation. Good walks locally. Lots of extras provided in kitchen & bathroom. Biscuits & cake also. Louise changed the heating for me twice. Very comfy large bed and small sofa. She cooked me a breakfast & brought it over. Good tv & wi fi reception. Cupboard space in kitchen was limited so I used the dishwasher as one. Toilet was high for my little legs. Dog didn't like the underfloor heating & was tempted to leap the wall after the limited traffic he also found he could push through the chicken wire at bottom of hedge. He is only just a year old, I had taken a horse training lead just incase. If he were older I think he would have been fine. I had a brilliant time & came away feeling completely refreshed. "

" “The bed is very comfortable and the whole place was clean. There are fantastic views and a large secure garden for a dog. The owner very nice but not intrusive. Plenty of parking and in an excellent location. All in all a really great place to say.” "
" Cottage was just right for 2 & dog, who loved the garden. Lots of nice walks, especially Milldale. Would return. Liz,Dave& Harvey. "
" Absolutely wonderful place and Louise is a gem at looking after you and the cottage. Nothing to fault there at all. I know where I'll be if I am heading up to the Peak District area again! Thank you so much. "
" However, having settled in to it , we found it to be a very nice and comfortable cottage. Garden was great for our dogs. Owners not on top of you, but very nice and available if wanted. Maybe a bizarre comment, but the raised toilet was excellent for someone with dodgy knees. Probably the only "down" thing is the TV reception (limited channels) but lets face it, you don't go on holiday to watch the box. Will probably return some time. "
" Louise & Darren are extremely welcoming, we will return! "

" “Had originally booked for seven nights, but arranged with the owners to arrive one day early and because we enjoyed our stay so much extended stay for another two nights. We were familiar with the area and in spite of worse than terrible weather it did not detract from the enjoyment of our time there. We will be returning to the area and intend to stay at the very same cottage and perhapsdwe will be luckier with the weather!” "

" “We enjoyed our stay immensely and were made to feel very welcome.

" “Cosy yet practical, with a beautifully stocked kitchen (a corkscrew! Wine glasses! Decent saucepans! Sharp kitchen knives!!), a roomy and comfortable bedroom, and a lovely bathroom it has everything you need. The garden is nice and secure for dogs, so we were able to let our staffie run around and enjoy herself. Hosts Darren and Louise are lovely and made us feel so welcome, but weren't at all intrusive. We had a perfect break away from the city here in such beautiful surroundings - in fact, we got engaged! We will definitely be back.” "
"Well placed for good eating places at local pubs. Great walking country with our dog. Lots of country parks and lakeside walks. Excellent holiday"
