We had everything we needed. Great location no need to move the car as all great walks are on the doorstep. Previous reviewer mentioned car park prices in the visitor centre car park, if you download the PayByPnone app it cost us just over £20 for the week and most carparks in the area use this. A great place to stay.

Kitchen was excellent and very well equipped. We loved the style and decor. Good supply of local information. Downsides are the mattresses. Both needed replacement as we could feel the springs. Also lots of dust under the settee. We would recommend the water is emptied from the tumble dryer as it took us ages to get it working. Finally, visitors should be informed that shops in Castleton close at 5/6pm so if arriving later ensure you get basic provisions in either Hope or Bradwell.

Fantastic choice of pubs and cafes, we didn't cook but the kitchen has everything you need. Parking could be an issue in busier times, but we found a space on Buxton Road and left the car there all week as we walked everywhere. If arriving in peak period be prepared to pay about £55 to park for a week in the visitor centre car park opposite cottage. Will definitely be back, and have recommended highly to friends & family.
