We had therefore booked the pub in Hulme End for our evening meal, so were disappointed with the mix-up. The details for the property do not state that there are no doors on the bedroom, we recommend this is addressed. There was a mouse in the kitchen. The shower was nice.

It was also spotlessly clean and comfortable.The resident peacock and his sidekick duck were always welcome visitors to the back door.,You can hear the traffic noise from the busy main road but I live near a motorway and know that after a while you just don't notice it's there but if this bothers you this is not the cottage for you,being on this main road does however mean that the attractions of the White Peak are all easily accessible.Finally I would just like to say I had a wonderful stay and would recommend it totally.
