The cottage was a delight, thoughtfully furnished, and well-equipped. Wirksworth is a brilliant place for a holiday - with two small supermarkets and places to eat within walking distance. Lovely walks nearby.

It was a smashing, clean, beautifully equipped, well located little cottage. We would definitely recommend Lacemakers cottage to friends/family who are hale and hearty, or who do not have small children!
