Lovely cottage in the centre of Eyam, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean, a home from home.

Beautiful cottage in the heart of the village, very close to pub and cafes. Very spacious kitchen with everything you need including an airfryer and slow cooker. Large living room with big L shaped sofa which is really comfy. Downstairs loo and space to store things is an added bonus. Bed really comfortable, didnt use the second bedroom but was well equipped. Shower had really good pressure which is rare these days. Lovely front garden where we sat and watched the world go by. On road parking is busy but we always managed to get parked nearby and that was on a bank holiday weekend too! Will definitely be back!
