Very good facilities and comfort. EV charger great addition. Local shopping/food within walking distance - farm shop, fish and chips and remarkable High Peak Book Shop and Cafe a little further.

A lovely modern house, clean and comfortable although the quality of the duvets was poor. We had an issue with the key safe on arrival (having been given the wrong code) but this was quickly resolved.

Although named cottage it should be noted that this is a very modern attached house on a new estate. Hide

We had a lovely stay at this cottage and would return. Location is excellent. Quiet with green areas for dog walks and a great Peak District base.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable and well equipped. The location was excellent with easy access to the Peak District walks. It was great that the garden was fully enclosed, as dog owners this is essential. The location was very peaceful and the view from the front of the house was beautiful.
