We really enjoyed our stay at Middlecroft. Location is excellent as a base for seeing most of the beautiful Peak District.The village itself is very quaint with a good pub (food was excellent) and shop.The cottage is very well equipped, clean and very warm and cozy.Facilities like the dog shower are excellent and the owners have thought of everything that might be needed. Extra special touch was the welcome pack.

We had a fabulous stay at Middlecroft over Christmas. The cottage had everything we needed to prepare the feast and is a very relaxing space to chill out in. Walks from the door. Loved the open design, looking down to the lounge area from the stairwell. Immaculate bathrooms and very comfy beds. Would definitely recommend and we will return!
