Beautiful cottage with a lovely homely feel. Well equipped with everything you need. Situated in a gorgeous location where everyone is so friendly. Visited both pubs and would highly recommend both. Communication from owners was excellent. Myself and my partner look forward to staying again.

We really loved this cottage and did not want to leave. We slept really well. It was warm and cosy. It had everything you needed and was in a central location to explore the surrounding Dales. It was lovely and clean, the kitchen was great to work in. We had a great week and highly recommend it.

Very cosy cottage in a beautiful rural area, the walk up to the moor starts just behind the cottage. There are no shops in the village and the two pubs are open intermittently so bring food if you haven’t got a car. There is a bus stop opposite and lots of attractions nearby, including Haddon Hall, Chatsworth, and Peak Railway.
