Absolutely beautiful cottage, small but perfect for a short stay. In a really lovely location, very hilly but nice and quiet, out of the way and a short walk to some stunning countryside views. Cottage was lovely and cosy, had everything we needed and we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you to the owners and for our welcome treats too.

A lovely little cottage for a couple on a getaway. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved the location for getting around the Peak District. The cottage is small but the right size to sit out in the evening, make meals and enjoy a comfy bed. All very well presented with a view for miles. The cottage is up a hill (some may need a breather half wayRead more up on the way back) which leads to the perfect little village. A couple of shops, cafe and several pubs. Recommend Poets Corner by some margin, best for food and a great view in the garden. The cottage is also a short drive from Ashover Rock, great for walks or you can drive up and see the amazing view. Within 30 minutes are Chatsworth House, Bakewell and Matlock Baths among other locations worth a day out. Hide
