The cottage receives high praise for its cleanliness, with guests consistently noting it as well-appointed and immaculate. One isolated report of dissatisfaction due to dust and a dirty pillowcase appears to be an exception.

Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a warm log burner and comfortable beds enhancing their stay. However, a few guests mentioned that space might feel cramped with five adults and that the twin room could be tight for two adults.
The cottage is well-equipped with a variety of facilities including internet, Netflix, and a log burner. Guests are satisfied with the kitchen and dining areas, though there are comments about the need to replace some cookware and a request for a colander.
While many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches like board games and a comprehensive information folder, there is no mention of gifts provided by the host, thus a score cannot be given for this category.

Beds were very comfy as was the lounge. Garden perfect for the dog on a long lead (gaps at bottom of hedge) and full of bird song . Lovely to sit out and have breakfast. Stair gate kept opening by itself so we put a chair in front of it. Was great to have a gate though. We really enjoyed our stay, such a great position for Matlock and all the resources there. Lovely area of the peaks, did Buxton, stanage edge , mam tor, Castleton and monsal trail, all in easy distance . Thank you so much , hope to be back again x
