This is a beautiful, tastefully modernised yet delightfully quaint cottage in an idyllic location just outside of Youlgrave. All facilities exactly as described and superb in every way. Tricky narrow staircase to first floor bedrooms and bathroom and low doorways for taller guests, but no problem for active mobile people. Would definitely ask to stay again; we’ve had a marvellous holiday.
