  • "Gorgeous property."

    Absolutely as advertised. Location is ideal for exploring all elements of the Peaks and cottage is the perfect place to snuggle up after a day of exploring. There is everything you could possibly need provided and it is a wonderful escape from ‘normal’ life. The cows are a delightful backdrop to any already beautiful setting.

  • "Beautiful cottage with everything you would want."

    Quite remote but if you like it like this it’s great . Easy to get to places but you need a car. David and Sally great host. We would probably return for a short break for peace and quiet.

    The cottage was very clean, comfy and was well equipped.

  • "This is a beautifully designed cottage."

    However there are a few things which could be improved on. There is a lack of storage for your clothing in the bedroom. The burner sits on a marble plinth which could be a trip hazard for anyone with mobility problems. Could do with a freezer compartment in the fridge even if it’s just for ice. Although this sounds very picky the things we have highlighted are simple changes. We had a fantastic time would definitely return.

  • "Lovely modern property all newly converted and in a fantastic rural location."

    I would recommend a thinner duvet as the underfloor heating keeps the property warm, although I think we had the warmest week of the summer! I would also double the number of coat hangers :)
