We were very disappointed on arrival at Sloe cottage The entrance and patio area was dark, dirty and covered with weeds and moss, unsuitable to use and sit in. The house itself was very well presented and furnished

Lovely bohemian accommodation in a great spot for accessing local amenities and a wonderful starting point for a myriad of walks and getting to many destinations in the Peak District. Fully met our (very high) expectations, we really appreciated Anguss prompt communication, clear access instructions and his personal welcome upon arrival. The properRead morety is absolutely charming and a perfect spot to get away from it all. Highly recommended. Hide
