A wonderful warm cosy cottage whose owners have thought of everything with lots of lovely touches. Offering amazing views with walks out onto the moors right on the doorstep. We stayed for 7 nights whilst attending a cycling event in Manchester and it offered an easy commute. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Jon & Adele couldn’t have been more helpful. The cottage was lovely & cosy & warm & comfortable.. it was very well equipped with everything you might require. Location wise it was far enough from the main road to be quiet & peaceful, but close enough to the main road to enable us to explore the area, even though we had snow & fog during our stay. There is easy walking access to public footpaths & Beeston Hill Country Park from your front door, which made dog walks easy & the views from the top of hill are spectacular. We would be happy to recommend the property to family & friends & we are looking to book again for next year.
