To many notes about shut windows when going out, shut gate, donât let your dog use the garden for toilet use the green in the village, put the heater on for hot water for 15 minutes only. Now for the good stuff the beds are terrible double is to soft and full of lumps the two twin beds are so hard more comfortable on the floor. You have no control of the heating it is controlled by the owner next door it comes on at 8.30am then goes off for the rest of the day and comes back on at 4.30pm. So in between these times it get very cold left after 2days paid for 7 as I ended up with a very bad cold. The Wi-Fi is nonexistent got left a message by owner you might get a signal if you went in the porch or hold your phone up in the air in the corner of the bedroom what a joke you cannot get a signal anywhere. Would not recommend this place.

The owner lives on site and is a great host. Foolow is a lovely village with lots of walks from the door or just a short distance away. The village pub serves very good food; it also has a small supply of bread and cakes from Bakewell Bakery available to purchase. There's no shop in Foolow but there's a well stocked Spar a couple of miles away in Calver.
