The house is wonderful, as are the owners and animals. The house is actually better than the photos. The only downside for us was the location, which was very different to that given by Holidaycottages. It won't matter to most, I'm sure, but a car is essential. There are no pubs or shops within safe walking distance. Info has now been updated.

Beautiful place to say. The cottage is stunning and the farm is wonderful. Both Claire and Alistair were really lovely, so kind and helpful. The pigs, sheep and alpacas were the added bonus. I would definitely go again for sure.

This was an exceptional property and suited us so well for a family get together. The scenery is marvelous. We never knew that the Derbyshire Dales are so beautiful.

Excellent, secure accommodation for dog owners. Very comfortable cottage, well thought out. Loved feeding the pigs, being followed around the paddock by the small flock of Ryeland sheep and meeting the young cows out in the pasture.

Beautiful cottage. Possibly not quite as private as we are used to, but this didn't spoil the holiday at all.

Lovely and quiet although very easy to visit places like Carsington Water and Kedlesten Hall for some beautiful walks. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of hot water, comfortable beds, lovely and warm with added bonus of log burner. Whats not to like here. Thank you

Perfect place for a family stay. Especially loved the large, enclosed outdoor area. Both our toddler and dogs absolutely loved the freedom to explore. Just wish we could have stayed longer!
