  Wow. This cottage exceeded my expectations.

  It is immaculately clean. Has so many extras provided. Dishwasher tablets, washing up liquids, tea towels, hand wash in the kitchen and utility room, washing capsules for washing machine. Full size toiletries in the bathroom. A welcome pack sits in the kitchen upon arrival, with bread, honey, biscuits, wine and chocolates. There is butter and milk in the fridge. As well as tea, coffee and sugar (not just little sachets). The garden is beautiful and we were fortunate enough to have good weather and were able to sit out, including having breakfast outdoors. There is a shed for keeping bikes in if you take them. The village of Hope has everything you require. A SPAR open till late and a few other little shops. There are a few lovely pubs which also sell food and an Indian restauraunt/take away as well as a Chinese. The slightly bigger village of Castleton is only a mile away and in daylight can be walked to by a path/field or alternately along the path at the side of the road. The whole area is perfect for walking or cycling and the cottage has maps which can be made use of. Alternately, Andy and Sarah (who own the cottage and live nextdoor, along with their friendly labrador) can give advise and directions. Wonderful short break had Friday - Monday. But also perfect for a longer stay.

  Hope is a lovely village and Brinks a great place to stay.

  Plenty of places to eat just a stones throw from cottage and very well equipped Spar for when you want to eat in. Best takeaway Indian we have ever had from restaurant in village. The cottage was modern, very clean and owners had thought of everything we might need. Our dog was made very welcome and we were encouraged to use the owners lovely garden. Outside areas to sit and chill after a day's walking and all completely dog proof so not having to constantly watch. Don't be put off by cottage being on main road between Hope and Castleton, we found it very quiet and also having the owners next door was absolutely fine, there if you wanted anything but left us alone too, perfect hosts. Having stayed in many holiday cottages over the years I've concluded that the owners who clean and maintain their own cottages do a far better job than anyone employed to clean. All in all a fab week and highly recommend. We hope to return to Hope and Brinks.

  Lovely cottage was warm and cosy, immaculate, spacious with a great drying room.

  We had access to their lovely long spacious garden with a steam along side it (with access via a gate), even donkeys and of course sheep behind the garden. No noise problems throughout our stay. Lovely polite friendly owners with their beautiful friendly dog Ellie. We travelled by train so was able to drop our bags off before check in which was much appreciated didn't want or need for anything more but felt owners would be extremely helpful if i did. Their welcome basket was very welcoming felt spoilt with their extra touches, thank you. Location is suberb for exploring hope and local areas we went for the walks and scenery which we had plenty of. So much choice for food and drinks as there was pubs, cafes, takeouts, grocers, butchers, baker's,and spar shop all within few minutes walk. Would love to return as still more to explore and would recommend brinks view cottage

  It is with some ease, that I can say well done to our hosts.

  The cottage was one of the best presented we have experienced, it was very clean, and welcoming. There was a bonus of a super garden, many areas giving views and sounds of the area. On arrival we found a very generous welcoming basket. Cake bread butter coffee and a nice wine. Every kitchen aid, every plate and crock. Double amounts so as to facilitate the dish washer. Our 3 year old grandson was at home and safe, it became Nanny and Grandads cottage. Donkey, ducks, horses, chickens, cat and Ellie the lab, all there or not; whichever you chose. Great beds, and furniture bought for purpose, not old from another sources. Good location for much, and easy to find. Thank you for the stay. (Two grandparents, Daughter and grandson, with pop in from son and partner).

  Absolutely perfect!

  A beautiful cottage in the middle of the village. Immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, it has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The welcome package of wine, chocolates, milk, bread etc was very gratefully received. My only regret was that we only booked for weekend! We could have happily stayed for a week or more. The spacious utility room is perfect for getting rid of muddy boots and wet coats after a walk in the Peak District, and the cottage is right in the middle of excellent walking countryside. The views from the main bedroom window look over open countryside with sheep and donkeys in the field at the back of the house. Again - absolutely perfect for a long or short stay - I can't wait for our next visit!
