This is a delightful cottage for a short get away for two. Set in the stunning Derbyshire countryside and just a short walk from the beautiful village of Castleton. The cottage has everything you need for a weekend self catering. Although please note the access the second floor is via a steep spiral stair case, so good mobility is required. If I had one gripe, and it’s minor, it would be the 9am departure time seems a little early!especially for a weekend stay when nowhere is open at 9am on a Sunday.We have stayed here before and will do again.
