A very nice well appointed cottage in a rural area of the Derbyshire Dale's located on a working farm just as described. The cottage has all that is needed for a week away and is owned by very friendly people. We did not see the best of the area due to the weather but if we want to go back to the area we would have no problem using this cottage again.
