A cosy little cottage in a lovely little village with plenty to see and do near by. The owner had a great attention to detail and the cottage had everything we needed with some lovely touches. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. Would highly recommend.

A fabulously appointed cottage in a picturesque village with all the amenities you might need close at hand...two great pubs and a local shop. Also, very handy for Bakewell if you need a larger shopping experience in Aldi.Communication with the owners was easy and quick and, as they clearly take great pride in presenting their rental property in absolutely pristine condition, the small issues we had with the fire were quickly resolved.Beds were clean and comfortable and the numerous small touches such as toiletries were hugely welcome.Cannot recommend enough!

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is lovely and the owner is really helpful, sending us a comprehensive list of everything available at the cottage before our trip so we knew we didn't need to pack eg a hairdryer. Really good quality towels and bedding. We were easily able to park on the road opposite the cottage each day. A folder of suggested walks is provided in the cottage, we did two of them and loved the scenery. Ate at the Aisseford Tea Rooms and at The Bull and recommend both. Thank you!
