Absolutely beautiful cottage, Heather was very welcoming and even gifted some yummy homemade cupcakes, fresh veg and milk. Hot tub was lush. Lovely views of fields and handy for dog walks. Garden at cottage was suitable for the dog inclosed and safe, bonus was a stair gate on stairs to contain dog in the house. Location is great to go into the Peak District about 30 min drive.

Amazing. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped. If you want somewhere quiet this is the place for you . The barn owners were incredible hosts. A welcome gift of milk, homemade cake and a bottle of prosecco greet you. The hot tub was faultlessly clean and welcome after days exploring the area.

A super place for a mini break equipped with everything you might need. Some excellent restaurants a short drive away and well situated for exploring the Peak District. Hot tub an added bonus. Welcoming host and home baked welcome muffins a nice touch.
