We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A lovely cottage with so many walks, river walks in two directions right outside the door with loads of wildlife. A great location for exploring the Peak District.

Lovely little cottage in a fabulous part of Derbyshire, really close to Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and some stunning walks. Spotlessly clean and tidy. the only downside was boiling the kettle on the gas cooker - took a while! but definitely wouldn't prevent us staying again.
