difficult to review as it poured with rain every day so we were not able to make the most of it. But the host is particularly nice and helpful.

A fantastic place to stay. Very remote in the middle of rolling countryside at the edge of the Peak District. The accommodation was outstanding. Immaculately clean and really well equipped, it felt brand new with high quality fixtures and fittings. The outside was as good as the inside and we were blessed with excellent weather. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. It was definitely one of the best places we have stayed in and would thoroughly recommend.
