Although it is only about an hour from home we have never been to this part of Derbyshire, but it is so beautiful!! The cottage is situated close to Longnor and has lovely walks nearby. The villages of Chelmorton and Hartington are closeby and have lovely places to eat out. Skylark is a perfect place to chill out and leave the hectic pace of modern life behind. The hosts are welcoming and very helpful and the accommodation is beautiful. We will definitely be revisiting in the future.

The required 1000hrs departure time is stressful if you have a long drive home ahead. Departure times for Hotels, etc, is usually 1100hrs. Owners Julie and Justin very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend a stay at Skylark.
