Rambler's Retreat is a lovely accommodation situated in a beautiful part of the Peak District. We thoroughly enjoyed the use of the hot tub and the accommodation has all the facilities required. We really enjoyed the walks around here and visited Lumsdale Falls. There is also an excellent brewery taproom called Bentley Brook Brewing Company within walking distance which offers a fantastic atmosphere and selection of beers as well as soft drinks and coffees.
