Guests say
Lion Cottage in Birchover, Derbyshire, is highly praised for its beauty, comfort, and well-equipped nature, making it a home away from home. Guests appreciate the welcoming hosts and the cottage's central location for exploring the Dales. The two local pubs add to the charm, though guests should be mindful of the intermittent opening times and lack of village shops.
