Great setting. Perfect for walking. Handy well stocked farmers shop and a well equipped Spar should you need it. Local friendly pub 250m up the road. What more could you ask for? Oh... maybe a working light at the front door. But we had a torch so, not a problem. Thank you.

It was warm and cosy and had all we needed for our weekend away. The cottage has been renovated to a high standard and feels quite luxurious. The arrival gift was a welcome surprise. We did some bracing walks and visited Chatsworth House which is half an hour away. When packing it is worth noting that the tumble dryer doesn't work. We would love to visit again some time.

Beds were comfortable and warm. Owner's father popped round to let us know the window cleaner was coming and I think also took out the bins on the days the dustmen were coming which was kind. Would totally recommend! Also Ieft something behind and the owner sent it back to me after I had been in touch â¤
