The extras provided were very welcome, particularly the lemon cake. Directions were excellent and the sat nav takes you straight there. We were met on our arrival which was very welcoming. Good base for Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Bakewell and Matlock. Not too far from the main road. We will definitely book again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
