Everything we needed was available and we could always ask if we needed something. My daughter loved visiting and feeding their donkeys and goats too. It was very easy to access lots of local attractions in the Derbyshire area and we would happily return in the future.

The cottage was excellant it truly felt a home from home. The cottage owner had left out fresh farm eggs and also there was cleaning products and milk in the fridge. We could not have asked for more. The cottage was spotless (clean) and modern. |In the kitchen there was a full under fridge and freezer. In the living room there was a 50" TV which I believe to be freeview channels. Leading out from the lounge there was a back door which lead on to the patio with chairs and table so you could sit there in the evening and watch the children run around the large garden (field) very well maintained. To the right and left of the field there was a paddock with goats in. If you had children they would love to play in field. The goats and donkeys were very friendly as we fed them. All in all I would recommend this property 100%

Cottage was comfortable and well provisioned. Twin room was a little cramped for 2 adults however. Owners very welcoming as were the goats and donkeys! Excellent location for exploring the South Peaks. Even had a little owl visit the garden a couple of times!
