The property was clean and renovated to a high standard. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms large and well equipped. We had a wet and blustery stay but we were warm and cosy even without the log burner, which had plenty of available wood. The facilities were great, we cooked a Sunday lunch and had everything we needed. We didn't venture far this time but the cottage is well located for visiting many places within the Peak District. Lovely welcome package and Sally and David were very welcoming and helpful. My only regret is only booking for the weekend!!

There were only a few minor improvements/adjustments we thought of - as we were a party of 6 adults and a baby, we did find the sofa not really big enough to sit us all in an evening when we wanted to sit in front of the gorgeous log burner and catch up with each other. We also found the water pressure in both the showers was very low. Other than this, everything was there when we looked for it when cooking, the underfloor heating was nice and toasty, no problems with parking and the location was good for exploring around the area.

The flowers and welcome pack were welcomed. Very quiet surrounds and the owners were very nice. Visiting from Australia we found the narrow lanes amusing to us but the English drivers were very courteous. Would stay again and would recommend.
