Itâs in the heart of the Peak District, making it easy to drive to nearby hiking spots and enjoy nature. We only explored within the Peak District, and everything was conveniently located. The only downside for me was the smell when we first arrived. Iâm not sure what it was, but it was unpleasant, so I had to open the windows frequently. It might help to use an air freshener. Also, the shower drain didnât work well. Water built up around my feet while showering, and I was worried it might overflow. We had to use very little water to ensure it drained properly. I hope this can be fixed for future guests. Thank you again!
