Lovely and isolated property. Sally (the owner) was friendly, and available for queries.Some lovely walks from the cottage, but access to the rest of the Peak District was relatively easy by car.

Dave and I had a fabulous week at Sally and Nick's Hayloft.It was so peaceful with beautiful views, loads of local walks (one being to The Little Mill pub, which serves food and drinks).The Hayloft was warm, clean, a comfortable bed and everything you need in the kitchen Definitely value for money, we loved it there!

The Hayloft was perfect for us. You need a car to get about but the walks from the Hayloft were brilliant. Stunning views, great walks, the premises was all we hoped for. Comfy and snuggly for time in watching the weather clear.Some lovely pubs nearby, walkable and drive to. Sally was really amiable. An absolute top host, knowledge of local points of interest and eateries and although busy never too busy to talk to us which was great as she leads an interesting life.Loved it!!
