Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few isolated complaints about cleanliness, such as a dirty kitchen table and a blocked hoover. The positive remarks far outweigh the negatives, leading to a high cleanliness score.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to walking trails and local amenities. The cottage's position in the Peak District makes it an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area. The only minor drawback mentioned was the proximity to neighbours, which was unexpected by one guest.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the cosy atmosphere, comfy beds, and warm welcome after a day out. The log burner and central heating are appreciated features. The second bedroom's size and bed comfort were noted by some, but overall comfort levels are rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, spacious garden, and good entertainment options. However, some guests noted issues with maintenance such as a lack of fire guard, a problematic frying pan, and a blocked hoover. These issues slightly lower the score.
Several reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome cake and milk, dog treats, and fuel for the log fire. These touches contribute to a positive experience, although it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

For us, who do many cottages each year, there was no outside light to the garden for the dogs on the dark evenings. The patio was also slimy and slippy particularly when wet, all of us nearly fell at some point in the week. It just needs a good jetwash. I also feel the front photo showing the cottage is very misleading. It looks as though it has a long sweeping drive when in actual fact its a tight squeeze for parking in general. There is the option to park in the lane outside the group of cottages but in the rain this is not ideal. In general the cottage was comfy. We struggled with the sofas and could not get comfortable. The main bedroom bed was unbelievably comfortable and we slept really well and it has a beautifully and tastefully done bathroom. The stove in the kitchen and the log burner were absolute plusses. Thank you for letting us stay in your cottage.

Beautiful cottage a real home from home. Exceptionally clean and a real delight to stay in. Very comfy and warm. I did work some of the time and WiFi was very reliable. Great garden for dogs to run about and stunning views all around. The George and Dragon pub very dog friendly and food was superb! We would definitely love to stay again.

We have stayed at various places around the peaks over the past year and I have to say this is the best one we have stayed at. Everything you could ask for. Large garden with great views, comfy sitting room and a great kitchen with double cooker. A very quiet and tranquil place after many very long hikes.
