This is our first ever cottage based holiday where we stayed for more than a day as our kids grew up a bit for long stays. We typically selected this location due to its isolated village atmosphere and also its proximity to our planned visits for the days. The kids loved this cottage thoroughly enjoying the games and of course the television. We asRead more adults found it fantastic as well. We cooked a bit whenever we had time. The elder kid loved it so much that she wanted to buy a holiday home. :) Hide

Disastrous stay for us sadly.

This is a beautiful cottage set in a very pretty village. The garden is really lovely and is perfect to sit out in and enjoy a glass of something in the evening. While we were there the garden really came to life with roses blooming and pretty purple bee loving flowers. The road outside the cottage is a tad busy but this didn't bother us. We visiteRead mored many beautiful places,including Chatsworth house,well worth a visit. Sunday lunch at the White lion is a must. Loved our holiday so much. Hide

The cottage was really nice, clean and tidy. We took our Labrador and it worked well. The owner had left a really good selection of basics like tea/coffee/hot chocolate as well as not skimping on things like dishwasher tablets. Walking distance to the Bulls Head which was friendly with good food and plenty of outdoor space for dogs.

Excellent location, very beautiful village, ideal for places to visit. The front garden not ideal very overgrown and unkempt. Not suitable for our small dog. Especially due to front gate leading straight onto busy road - no path directly outside front gate. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly need.

We had a lovely week here. It is small, with only one living space which was fine for 2 adults and our toddler but wouldn't fit more than that. It was warm and comfortable. Good value for money, we really liked the modern feel, and the coffee machine! The double bed was on the smaller side but perfectly comfortable. The location is ideal, Bakewell Read moreis walkable and a supermarket near by. Lots of beautiful walks and places to go. The road is quite busy and a bit noisy but not too bad. Hide
