Second time we have stayed in Cotterill Barn and we loved every minute of it. Set in a lovely quiet spot surrounded by sheep, the cottage is spotless, comfortable and very well equipped and ideally placed for exploring the wonderful White Peak district.

Good location within 20 minutes of all villages and towns. Cottage is detached and has no immediate neighbours, really nice quiet location, short walk over the field to the pub! Will return again.

Absolutely ideal cottage for exploring the Peak District. Spotlessly clean, warm, well-equipped. It felt like we were away from it all in the countryside yet there was so much to do in the area, either walks from the door or various attractions and places of interest a short drive away. Easily filled a week with plenty left to come back and see. Great place for dogs as well, with an enclosed garden. I loved looking out at the sheep in the next field, and the rabbits running around the garden. Owner was very friendly and helpful too. Fab holiday!
