We all enjoyed the cottage it was clean but the road was very noisy as said on some reviews but didn’t realise how noisy it was.The location was good for what we wanted the cottage for, the pub up the road was very friendly and the food was great the surrounding areas were very nice but most of the places we went to Bakewell had to be the best. Comming back to the cottage if the patio had been at the back it would have been excellent but the main thing is we all enjoyed the stay and the people who owned the property were very nice and helpful
