A very pleasant week.

Sep 2008 | A cosy cottage with good facilities including satelite TV and a real home from home which we were sad to leave. Good location next to the pond and handy for trips out and walking. Very helpful and available owner.
Mr & Mrs Smith, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear
Jul 2008 | Booked the cottage because it was near Chatsworth House, which is absolutely fabulous to visit. The area is great for walking with beautiful scenery and the neighbouring towns of Matlock Bath and Matlock have lots of lovely pubs and restaurants. Would definitely visit this area again.
