We loved staying at Glen’s cottage. It was very warm and cosy on a cold weekend and in a wonderful location. The owners were very welcoming and a lot of thought and care has been put into everything in the cottage you need for your stay. We did some of the walks recommended and is in an ideal location for exploring southern Derbyshire and North Staffordshire. Thanks it was great!

“Snowy retreat”

We couldn’t have picked a worse week for weather. Total white out! But we also couldn’t have picked a better place to get snowed in. The owners were really supportive when my son and his girlfriend got lost in the dark and snow. They did a rescue mission in the land rover! They also kept us stocked up with wood for the burner so we were toasty and warm. Very kind and thoughtful hosts. The cottage was lovely, well decorated, comfortable and fully equipped. Highly recommend. Would like to come back again but in the summer next time!

“Glens glory!”

This is an amazing cottage. We stayed over the Christmas period and were so comfortable and warm. It is in quite a beautiful and reasonably remote location. We even had snowfall which made it quite magical. Very comfortable accommodation comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and large bathroom. Hosts very friendly and helpful. A great holiday cottage.

“A clean and quirky property, the ...”

A clean and quirky property, the cottage was very comfortable and we received a warm welcome. It is in a very rural location on a farm with walks from the door and the lovely little village of Longnor only about 2 miles away where you will find a good shop, cafes, one of which sells some beautiful hand crafted goods. The fish shop was a real bonus too. There are some good pubs in the area; the Pack Horse was our favourite as the staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. All in all, the only criticism would be the rather lazy shower which made hair-washing a bit laborious. That said, I would gladly return to this delightful cottage.

“Warm welcome, beautiful cottage and gorgeous scenery”

My sister, husband and I stayed at Glen Cottage with our 5 and 7 year old niece and nephew. Claire, the owner was great with lots of communication before we arrived as it is a little off the beaten track.The cottage was beautifully renovated and absolutely immaculate and plenty big enough for us all. The farm was great for the kids who had so much fun playing safely with the 2 dogs. It is a beautiful location in the countryside and while you need a car, it is close enough to Buxton, Alton Towers, Matlock and all the other fun things to do in the area. We were visiting from Canada so it was exactly what we needed to spend quality time with our family, do activities with the kids, as well find peace and quiet when we needed it. Would definitely recommend and would visit again when we are back in the UK. Thanks Claire and family you are wonderful hosts!

“A home from home”

Greeted when we arrived very welcoming. House very clean and easy to live in. Although the owners lived nearby they gave us plenty of space to come and go as we pleased This was a very remote cottage but easy to go from and to. We had no children with us but they would have enjoyed the farm yard animals. We have already given a review on this holiday in June

“Excellant cottage, excellant location”

The cottage was in a nice quiet location outside Longnor, and had everything we required for our week's stay. The owners were very friendly and chatted to us on a regular basis. On the Monday of our visit, the TV programme 'Countryfile' to film about the farm which was most interesting. Julia Bradbury was the presenter and she was very friendly and spoke to us all and answered some questions we had about her exploits. All in all a very enjoyable stay,
