A wonderful time in a stunning part of the country. Fantastic walks. Lovely and warm/cosy. Well equipped kitchen but could the knives in the block be sharpened?Comfy beds. Really appreciated the time taken to buildup the local guides provided.We want to come back when the weather is warmer to make more use of the outside spaces and explore further.

Lovely cottage in beautiful area, everything needed for a good holiday experience was provided. The nearby village of Longnor has a lovely pub serving Robinson's beer and nice food. The cottage was very comfortable and we really apreciated the fresh fruit provided in the welcome pack and the log burner was great.

Lovely place with a great host. Location is driving distance to lots of spots in the peak district. The place had board games, and laminated trail routes for us to take. Kitchen was well stocked. The outside is spacious and had a really nice rock garden and benches. Fairly clean but the downstairs bedroom sheets had a strong smell of damp.
