Lovely cosy cottage with an amazing amount of equipment and little touches. Very comfy bed and great powerful shower. Having the mud daddy dog wash was a real bonus so you could wash your dog before going into the cottage. Little touches just for your dog, bowls treats and dog towels if you forget yours. Had a lovely time and the cottage info book Read moregave options for days out if you weren't familiar with the area. Hide

Lovely quant cottage, well laid out and equipped. Felt very comfortable and homely and perfect for us and our dog for our 4 night stay. As the weather turned colder during our stay we fully appreciated the heating which was on a timer together with constant hot water. Quiet and peaceful village and easy access to other areas in the National Park.

This is a lovely cottage in a fabulous location. Clean and simple but with nice touches like the doggie tray and welcome basket. I loved working at the kitchen table overlooking the view or having coffee on the front bench. Wirksworth is easy to walk to with quirky shops and pubs and there were good dog walks and brief drive day trips like Matlock Read moreDale or Cromford. Highly recommended, with friendly hosts with great tips. I would go back tomorrow. Hide
