We had a lovely relaxing stay in the carriage. The hosts couldn't do enough for you. There was everything you needed in a great location but plenty of places to visit in the area.

We planned this stay last minute and this little cottage was perfect for what we had in mind! When we first arrived we were greeted by our very friendly and welcoming hosts, and throughout the stay they made sure we were comfortable and ensured all our needs were accommodated for. The location of the cottage was very scenic with fields stretching for miles, which was lovely to wake up to. This was perfect for our plans of hiking some of the Peak District, with lovely towns, such as Buxton and Bakewell, on our way through. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a short weekend staycation!
