The location was most convenient for travel around the Derbyshire border area. Secluded and totally detached from other properties.
Mr Collins, Maidstone, November 2009
Exceptionally high standard. Every need was catered for. The owners were extremely nice and we had a brilliant holiday.

Tissington Cycle Trail is great for a family with young children as the trail is almost flat with no cars.
