The room was large and roomy with plenty of sofas to accommodate all of us. Great views from the terrace if you are staying in the summer season. Very clean and beds were also comfortable. Owners were attentive and even help us to unload our stuff, from car to house! Bonus was itâs was close to Wirksworth centre and nice places to eat and have a few drinks.

Comfortable and very well appointed. The views from the terrace are stunning and the wood burner was a real bonus this November. The hosts were attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

) Also there is no separate WC, the WC is in the shower room. The access to the property is down a sheepish hill from where the car is parked and the path is quite uneven. A tourch is needed if dark and the path would be difficult for those with mobility problems, though there are no steps.
