  Another wonderful stay in the bungalow.

  I don’t know whether to mention this but it is a wonderful writer’s retreat. The view must be one of the best in Derbyshire - rolling hills and alpacas grazing (and for the foreseeable future, no through road). There needs to be a desk/ dressing table in the bay window main bedroom to write from and look out, but I worry if this happens, other writers will book the place up! Much time was spent writing on the decking area table at the front. It faces West so the sunsets can be amazing. We walked down to the nice Tickled Trout (half a mile) and stayed put most the time. I reversed the car up the steep drive and once it was wedged in was pleased not to have to do that again! Apparently most people park at the bottom of the drive, but I preferred a car-free view. One slight annoyance was I think the previous vacationers may have had a joint but we opened the windows and then it was fine and no reflection on the bungalow. We worked out the reclining sofas had phone chargers in which was handy on a rainy evening watching Netflix movies. The garden behind was lovely to lie in - our picnic rug got well used. The only noise were owls, clip-clopping of horses and occasionally tractors in the fields. Bliss. Hope to come here for a third time if it doesn’t get too booked up. It is a very special place.

  We absolutely loved this cottage. The location was amazing - remote, so you felt you were properly in the countryside, but only 2 mins drive away from more major roads which then got us easily to every location in the Peak District. The location was one of the very best we’ve had in the UK. The property was absolutely amazing. It had lots of equipment you don’t normally find in properties like tons of toilet rolls and kitchen roll, bin bags & washing up liquid. Even kitchen foil! The kitchen was lovely to cook in and had everything you might need. There was also an insulated cafetière which came in handy, and an ice cube tray in the freezer. We loved the log burning fire in the lounge and the tv had access to Netflix and BBC iplayer which we appreciated. We had many happy evenings snuggled up watching TV. There was also a sun room which was lovely to sit and relax (we were pretty lucky with the weather). The children loved the table tennis in the games room, and there was plenty of room several cars on the driveway. The showers had great water pressure and all the bathrooms were to a very high standard. The beds were large and comfortable and the cottage was very spacious. There were plenty of amazing pubs serving wonderful food in nearby towns and villages. We would definitely come back again.

  Lovely little cottage with lots of potential.

  A few minor issues but worth noting. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty so we had to buy our own hand soap not a major issue but I would expect it to be available for us. There was no toilet brush or shower curtain. No washing up sponges provided in the kitchen, just a flannel which wasn't ideal. Appreciate the cottage is old but there are a lot of cobwebs that have blatantly been there for a while and could be dealt with a duster, just makes the place look a little unkempt. Someone's old contact lenses were left on the bedside table which wasn't nice either. Seems there is a lack of attention to detail here compared to other cottages we have stayed at for a similar price. The host did leave us some milk and biscuits which was lovely. It would be good for future guest for the kitchen to have some oil, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. Again something we have had in other stays for a similar price. Overall a pleasant stay, lovely cottage just needs some tweaks from the hosts and it could be amazing.

  Our third time at the bungalow.

  We love staying here. You cannot beat the peace and quiet and the views are out of this world. The bungalow is clean and bright, modern and spacious. Owners are really pleasant. Milk and cakes were very much appreciated on our arrival. The only thing is that our car does not like being parked on the steep driveway and the oil light always comes on, however, you can park at the bottom of the drive on the roadway. No traffic comes past as you are the last property on a no through lane, so its not a problem. Plenty of walks around and good dog friendly pubs, especially the peacock ( chef and brewer)on owler bar roundabout ( not in Barlow) also the shoulder of mutton in Chapel en le Frith. People are very welcoming in the area. After staying for the third time, it feels like home and we wish it was! The owners are so lucky to have such a lovely bungalow, you really could not design a better place to stay.

  Beautiful and cosy little cottage in a lovely quiet village close to lots of places to visit and a perfect base for exploring the area. Owner and everyone in the village were friendly and helpful. Private garden to front was well used and lots of walks to be had from the front door. Smart TV and wifi worked well with half decent mobile signal. Kitchen well supplied and a cake and brew making gear provided on arrival and very welcome. Double bed was super comfy and shower nice and powerful. Bakewell, Matlock, Chatsworth and plenty of other spots 15-20mins drive with great range of supermarkets, cafes and pubs. Highly recommend Chatsworth gardens for a day out and Ilam Hall was lovely. Lots of prehistoric sites in the area, Nine Sisters, Minninglow, Arbor Low and great photos to be had from Chrome Hill near Langnor. All in a great holiday for man and dog and would be happy to come back.
