Was concerned that we wouldn't find anywhere to park but we were able to park either on the quiet road right outside the property or opposite in the square. Lovely and warm, scrupulously clean and well equipped. There was only my husband and I this time, however, I think it would be a bit tight for 4 adults. Tideswell is lovely small town with all that you would need and is handy for exploring the Peaks especially the Monsal Trial. Nice bottle of wine was very appreciated. May we suggest an addition of a radio ? Definitely worth a return trip.

The cottage has absolutely everything you need. Plus great shower, heating and kitchen. There are an extra set of stairs so you need to be organised!! I would love to return to Tideswell and this cottage.
