Previous visitors' comments about Ghyll Bank Cottage:
The remote location of the cottage, but still within walking distance of Stavely. We had a snow fall on the Saturday with icy roads and drive all week. The owners arranged for the drive to be cleared. The local farmers were helpful. The walks were great in the snow. Highly recommended.

This is our second visit to this lovely little out of the way cottage. The views are just stunning. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
Mrs Ripley, Congleton, October 2011
The cottage is in an ideal location surrounded by countryside - great for walking and being at one with the great outdoors!
Mr Close, Clacton-on-Sea, August 2011
The view and situation was wonderful. We had 3 dogs, and it was an ideal venue for them plus a number of children. It is a lovely location and the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make it comfortable.
