The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a week stay. Plenty of off road parking and 3 visitors to greet us a wonderful family of peacocks (mum, dad and bubba). The location was perfect for the walks and places we visited. Perfect accommodation for a family of 3.

The only problem we had was getting on to the main road from the farm lane it is impossible to see if any vehicle is coming up the hill when you pull out on to the main road.The local council transport department should be approached to put a mirror on the main road so vehicles on the farm road can see if any vehicle are coming up the hill.

With walks straight from the door and two pubs and a shop also within walking distance (about a mile) it was well placed for exploring this quieter part of the Peak District. Bakewell and Buxton are within a 20 minute drive. We hope to visit again soon.
