We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet home from home with the added bonus of a hot tub. The cottage has everything you need and the pub is a couple of doors away. We would also recommend day trip's to Blackwell and Matlock.

Very clean & sympathetically extended & modernised keeping its character. Ideally situated on the edge of town, easy to access & park. The hosts are excellent & really good with communication & thoughtful touches to welcome their guests to this well equipped cottage. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this property as a base to explore this beautiful part of the country.
