Beds were very comfy as was the lounge. Garden perfect for the dog on a long lead (gaps at bottom of hedge) and full of bird song . Lovely to sit out and have breakfast. Stair gate kept opening by itself so we put a chair in front of it. Was great to have a gate though. We really enjoyed our stay, such a great position for Matlock and all the resources there. Lovely area of the peaks, did Buxton, stanage edge , mam tor, Castleton and monsal trail, all in easy distance . Thank you so much , hope to be back again x
