Stayed for 4 nights, the location is amazing, perfect views on good days! However we didn't really have any! It's a very basic accommodation, the kitchen cupboards are full of crockery, enough for a family of 10, and it's a 1 bed cottage? The garden is just all weeds and is not secure for smaller dogs. The bed is hard and bumpy, and the heating is old storage heaters, so not easy to change temperature. Personally I would not return to this cottage.

Big letdown, looked wonderful on paper, but, in reality it was dreadful. No contact information available or offered. If it wasn’t for the location we would have cut our losses and left early. Raises concerns about using cottage.com again.

We had a peaceful time which allowed us to do what we needed to do. The cottage is remote but has a shop/ cafe with in walking depending on your mobility/driving distance along the main road towrds Buxton whi h is open 7 days u til around 4pm and a pub in the village of Flash but you need to be aware of its opening times as with many local pubs these days it's not open certain days of the week.
