Caroline and Graham were very welcoming and helpful. Wonderful goodies - wine, cake, croissants, butter and milk, plus flowers from the beautiful,garden. Thank you so much. The cottage was well equipped for two, the bed very comfortable, and a choice of duvet weight which is most unusual! It was so quiet and peaceful, Elton and Winster are typical Peak District villages, the community shop in Winster is a great success, and there is so much to see and do in the whole area. Even the weather had improved which is always welcome.
