Cosy but spacious, spotlessly clean, brilliant location in our favourite village in the Peaks, just perfect. Carol was a joy to deal with, always communicative and exceptionally helpful. We canât wait to come back soon!

We had such a wonderful break at Mulberry Cottage and would highly recommend it. Due to some personal issues, we had to amend our dates at the last minute but Carol, the owner, was incredibly accommodating and extremely helpful. Her communication throughout has been brilliant. The cottage itself is fabulous. Cosy, clean and very well equipped. Carol has thought of everything and clearly wants to ensure visitors enjoy their stay. The welcome pack of goodies was very well received and much appreciated. The location was also perfect for us. Easy access to all of the local attractions but also a delightful place in itself. A handful of wonderful pubs, shops and cafes, all extremely friendly and offering delicious food. We have had a lovely break and are very much looking forward to returning soon.
