  Absolutely lovely cottage and an excellent host, but parking situation in the village made experience very stressful.

  We were unlucky to arrive during very heavy rain and the entire street was parked up to the brim with "road closed" signs on one end. Neighbours opposite were very unhappy with us trying to park up for a bit near the house to unload the car, so we had to carry a lot of our luggage under the pouring rain from the further end of the village. (There is a tight parking space near the house which is now considered unsuitable, so you can't use it). This parking situation continued throughout our stay. Then as a cherry on top we parked for under 10 minutes in an available space by a house further down the road, only to come back to angry neighbours and a bus backing away as it wasn't able to pass. It was a proper parking spot and a big Range Rover passed us easily, but we just weren't aware of the bus. As absolutely stunning as this cottage is, it's not suitable for someone who wants to come by car of medium to big size unless you're ready to deal with a village full of unhappy residents.

  Parking difficult for a large car.

  Had to park at the top of the road up the hill. Unfortunately caused hundreds of pounds damage to our car hitting the stone post when we arrived. Not a great start. The staircase was difficult for older people , winding steep and narrow. The lighting in the living room was very stark and dark. The decor was lovely and quirky. Lots of great touches such as the cakes and wine on arrival. A great standard of pots and pans, indeed everything in the kitchen was first class. Many thoughtful extras from soaps to a picnic basket. Comfy bed and plenty of hot water.

  A lovely cottage with lots of extra unexpected touches.

  It is an old cottage and has very low ceilings, but, that is to be expected. If you are more than 6ft 3, you will need to bend alot.......or just sit down alot and relax.. It is made clear in the description that there is parking for 1 small car.......it is for a very small car, and the surrounding walls look very unforgiving, if you were to touch one. Best to approach with the Mouse House on your right as the car parked opposite the drive makes getting the swing in very tricky. I always think the best guage for reviews is, 'would I stay there again'.......yes I would. I needed to let Sue, the owner, know about a change of my plans, and she was brilliant.

  From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed.

  The cottage was warm and cosy with a lovely welcome pack. Decorated so tastefully for Christmas with twinkling lights and soothing music. Though compact there is plenty of storage for clothing and food. It's been so carefully thought out it never feels cramped at all. During the day we explored the surrounding area, some fabulous walking, but we loved coming back to Mouse House and building a log fire and settling in for the evening. We hope to return in the summer and enjoy the delightful little garden. It's worth noting the local pub only seems to open at night at the moment and doesn't serve food. There are 2 good pubs in the next village and a shop

  We had a lovely time at the Mouse House.

  Everything we could possibly need was available for us and we were really well accommodated for. There are helpful notes throughout the property and everything is laid out beautifully. We really enjoyed our stay despite the rain and would definitely stay again. The village is small but there are plenty of nearby attractions to visit and the views are incredible. We really enjoyed our stay to escape from the busy city of Sheffield and loved every second of it. We really felt at home and this cottage is a great stay for anyone wanting a peaceful time in the Peak District.
