It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

It was well equipped and nicely decorated - suited our needs perfectly. The garden was lovely. Good location for lots of local attractions and walks. Would happily return if we come back to the area.
