Fabulous little cottage with everything you need. Great use of space inside and out: e.g. mezzanine off the master bedroom with freestanding bath, sofa and tv; e.g. the Hot Tub. Brilliant location for long and short hikes in the High Peaks, either from the door, or by a short drive into the Peaks. Great selection of pubs (unbelieveable number!!) and restaurants within 10 mins walk. Thanks Lee.

It’s a lovely house, no doubt at all, location is excellent but there were things that should be mentioned, the sitting area and hot tub area is nice but is not private due to it being an end terrace and we had several people per day walking straight through the garden. Half of the garden was untidy, un mowed patchy grass lawn, also building materials dominating the scenery, parking isn’t ideal if thou have a large vehicle.several blown light bulbs in the house, no sofa, just two armchairs that are not the best, but sufficed. The bath area is very nice but very unpractical. Would we stay again? No. Would I recommend? Yes but shop around first as we found better options locally
