A truly lovely stay. It's a beautiful cottage and had all we needed. The handy dog field was great plus absolutely beautiful woods for an early morning or evening stroll with our dog... And a couple of stops at the very local pub The Peacock (great food and vibe). It was a great base to visit Bakewell, Chatsworth, Castleton up to Mam Tor but the Linacre reservoir walk straight from the cottage was an unexpected delight. The hit tub was very welcome after long days hiking. Definitely recommend..hope to make a return visit soon.

Just spent the weekend here. Everything we needed in the accommodation. Lovely hot tub with views of fields and trees. Saw all sorts of wildlife. Walks straight from the cottage are easy and beautiful. We had a delicious meal at the nearest Peacock Inn which is just up the road. We also had lunch at the Creamery and at Hackney House. Both good value. Owners very helpful.I have already booked again for July and will be returning in April.
