Beautiful spacious comfortable cottage, with really good walks close by. Friendly hosts and great local pub. A relaxing place with bonus of pool, hot tub and field for our dog to run freely.

Beautifully renovated farm cottage for two. We also took our 2 dogs. Ideally situated for touring the area or tramping across fields and woodlands to the local pub!

Perfect getaway. Peaceful rural setting just a stone’s throw from Chesterfield, with plenty to do on the doorstep. Lovely local walk around Linacre reservoir and secure field for our Willow to charge around like a dog possessed. The cottage was comfortable with all the amenities you’d need for a relaxing stay. Will be back, would recommend.
