Very easily booked. The owner of the cottage was very friendly, we even had a pint of milk provided for when we arrived! We thoroughly enjoyed the free days cycle hire included with the cottage.

The cottage was in a great location and was lovely, cosy and clean. Having the bike hire next door was brilliant and cycling along the Manifold cycle track was a lovely day. I would definitely go back to the cottage again and will recommend it to friends.

The Rileys who own the cottage were most helpful and very friendly. The bike ride along the Manifold way was fantastic. There are very good walks around the area, including gentle strolls for the unfit. The landlord of the Old Crown was a very pleasant chap and the food was very good. Chatsworth House is a must although could prove expensive if you have a family.
