Robin’s Nest is situated on a working farm run by a friendly farmer. The daily activities of cattle, horses, hens and dogs added interest to our week spent there. The cottage was cosy and comfortable - perfect for the two of us and our terrier. Plenty to see and do in the area - Cromford Canal and cotton mills, Black Rock, Bakewell Monday market, etc.We thoroughly recommend Robin’s Nest.
