My first stay in this high-standard accommodation. It had everything I needed and I will definitely be booking to stay here again.

Lovely comfortable and nicely decorated space. Just a bit more information would have have helped: A note to help us locate the mains switches for the oven & hob. Information before the visit to remind us to bring a connector cable if we wish to charge an EV overnight.

Lovely comfortable cottage. Good location for visiting the Peaks & towns, Matlock & Bakewell. Farm shop tearoom’s & restaurant very good a short distance from the cottage.It was exceptionally hot when we stayed so spent a bit of time within the cottage as we had our dog. Some cushions for the garden furniture & a parasol would be good. Also, no utensils or lighter for the bbq which would have been useful & perhaps a fan for the bedroom. Otherwise very well equipped. Bonus 2 bathrooms & bedrooms. Milk & biscuits on arrival appreciated. Would recommend.
