A delightful cottage in a good location for visiting the Peak District. Karen and Mike were very welcoming hosts and the cottage is comfortable, well equipped and cosy. The hot tub is a very welcome feature. Bedrooms are comfortable and both bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Parking is easy and next to the cottage and directions to the cottage are excellent. Being 'of a certain age' we found the TV controls a bit challenging and the stairs are quite steep if, like us, your legs don't work very well anymore. WiFi is good and 'phone reception also good.
