We have just returned from a lovely weekend away staying in The Floxglove. Despite the immense wind and rain our British autumn weather brings, we were warm and dry after a day exploring the Peak District. We are a family of four and were more than comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. My little ones loved the sheep, chickens and baby chicks and cows that would wander by outside (on the other side of the fence). Thanks for a great stay!

Absolutely outstanding. The bed is so comfortable and big. Fabulous bathroom and shower, couldn’t believe the views, so peaceful and quiet. The sunset was amazing. The place was so much bigger than we expected. Definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We stayed 4 nights. Wish it was more.
