Peter
Exceptionally clean very quiet and good standard of furnishings.I will definitely be back next year. As a constructive comment it would be good to have a handrail by the bath to help getting in or out 10/10

The Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped and really clever designed (including the rooflights in the upper floor and the underfloorheating in the ground floor). Everything is quite still new. When we entered the cottage, everything was clean and tidy. There is just one trifle: the basin in the main bathroom was a bit small so that a lot of water pours on the floor. As there seems to be enough space, perhaps this could be a subject to change. We can strictly recommend this cottage and would choose again when we come back in this region.

personally i'd have preferred the outside lights to not have been on all night but that's a minor thing. Really can't fault the cottage otherwise,we'll be back again next time we visit the peak District.
