The cottage was easy to find and very accessible, well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. It is in a good position for walking which we really enjoyed and was close to amenities.

The cottage is in a wonderful position looking out onto the hillside where cattle graze & sometimes a friendly head with amazing kindly eyes appears over the wall as it comes to its trough to drink. Arthur the owner farmer is really friendly & helpful. The village is only 5 minutes walk away & you will pass a Farm shop.. Two pubs in the village & aRead morere friendly & welcoming. Loved the mobile fish & chip van. We visited Bakewell, Buxton the High Peaks & Bakewell all within a short drive. Hide

Peaceful, comfy & fully accessible for me in my wheelchair. The cottage back onto a very steep hill that is used by hikers and inquisitive cows that like to look over the wall! The garden was enclosed so our dog didn't 'escape', one less thing to worry about for us. All in all a relaxing break in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.

Lovely spot for a week away. Farm shop does very nice sandwiches etc. Best pub was the Bulls Head at Monayash, which is only a ten minutes drive , and also the Jug and Glass in Hartington. The farmer was very friendly and it was lovely having the cow with her calf poke their heads over the wall in the mornings.home from home for us.
