Kestrel Cottage was a perfect getaway for us! The little touches such as doggy treats and human treats on arrival made a huge difference! The Cottage had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the bath was amazing after walking up Eccles Pike. The log burner made us feel very cosy in the evening!

We stayed at Kestrel Cottage with our 20 month old daughter and our dog. We all enjoyed our stay, the cottage was ideal for us. Had plenty of space, all the facilities we needed. Great location too. Would definitely come back.

We enjoyed a lovely weekend staying at Kestrel Cottage. With Eccles Pike right on the doorstep and so many Peak District attractions so close it was set in a great location. The cottage was very cosy and well equipped.

Great place to stay. Both accommodation and location. All 4 of us loved our holiday. One point I think would be of help. Wall mounted toilet roll holders should be fitted to both bathroom and separate toilet. The existing fitments are for storage and not for dispensing. The toilet paper on these devices can end up on the floor. Not good.
