    Lovely quaint cottage. Really feel the history of the place. Pretty spring flowers. Secure Dog paddock if you need it. Friendly host. Got cottage ready in super quick time as we arrived early. Well equipped. Lots of hot water. Comfortable beds. Great location right next to the Cromford Canal. Saw some rare birds. Bring binoculars. Pony’s to pat. Great walks through woods or walk turn left and walk to the Mills.
