Amazing stay here for a week. Very clean and well equipped and a real family home. Large bedrooms and storage space and had everything we could ask for. A garden space which out dog loved and beautiful surroundings and sunsets every evening. A very well equipped kitchen and a beautiful bathroom space. Comfortable beds and my three boys loved the pool table room! Highly recommended. Even had a welcoming cake which my children and us ate within the first hour! Perfect distance to Alton towers which we visited during our stay. Thank you so much for a delightful stay.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Tomfields cottage. The hosts were friendly and welcoming (Pams delicious cake on arrival and Robs map) and went out of their way to be helpful. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking. It was a lovely house to hangout in and to feel in nature, as well as food location to get to the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales. We had a great time!
