Really lovely cottage. The place was cosy, clean and warm. We were pleasantly surprised by the pack of biscuits to welcome us after our long journey. The cottage is well equipped with washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, gloves and other little extras that made our stay all the more comfortable. Highly recommended!

The cottage was warm and cosy when we arrived in the dark. It had everything we needed and is in an ideal location for exploring the Derbyshire Dales. So lovely to feel out of the way on a working farm.

Lovely cottage, up side down house so you get the views in the living room. Great position, close to lots of places. But nice and quiet. Monsal trail opposite the end of drive and lovely river walks as well. Our dogs loved it! Thornbridge estate is worth a look. We did the house tour, which is very interesting. Nice gardens and cafe as well.

An ideal location for our return trip to Derbyshire. Comfortable accommodation; all as described within the Holiday Cottages web page. Footpaths from the door, with the Monsal Trail across the road from the farm entrance.
