There were no instructions for the oven, however, if there had been, we certainly would not have used it, as it required a thorough clean.

The rooms were comfortable and the fire place was lovely too. Great sport to have for a weekend away in the peaks!

Some areas of the cottage looked like they hadnât been cleaned. Owner was quickly to reply when asking questions. It is in a very good position, not far from all places to visit. The parking was a bit tight as I have a BMW X1. You can park on the road but during the day is busy. Walking distance to the Peak Village and the Grouse and Claret pub. Would stay again.
