Fern cottage is just perfect. Everything was clean and fresh. Wr had such a cosy time. The wood burning stove was wonderful and although the Peak District has loads to offer - we stayed home each evening. The house is a perfect winter escape from the city. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. The beds are super comfortable. And we were really grateful for the welcome red wine and biscuits. We would love to return. Finally great value for a restful break

We had a fantastic stay at Fern cottage. It had everything we needed. We loved sitting by the log burner on a wild and windy night. Would definitely recommend.
