It was more than comfortable for five adults and two small children, and bigger than we'd expected. I've never stayed in a holiday let that was so well provided for! An extremely pretty area, and we managed to fit in the short walk to the wild swimming spot in Youlgreave and enjoy a dip! We'd definitely stay here again.
