Cottage is in the delightful village of Youlgrave with beautiful views and walks on your doorstep. Well equipped, kitchen is great, and cottage as a whole deceptively spacious. Enjoyed our stay. Only minor point is that we found the bed uncomfortable but it didnt spoil our stay!

Our stay at Kingfisher Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Cosy countryside cottage with modern amenities in a location perfect for being immediately out into the countryside. We really enjoyed being able to look out across the fields from the living room and master bedroom when the weather closed in!

Excellent property and good location. Only problem was that the waste bin was full as it had not been put by the road on alternate weeks for some months prior to our visit. The need to do this needs to be highlighted more to guests. We put out the recycle bin which was duly emptied but it wasn't the week for the non recyclable bin. Don't put this cRead moreomment in the review. Hide
