Our family of 5 (13,16,16, 2-adults) had a great experience! Dave and Cath we VERY responsive to all questions, and the home was perfect. They live on a great hobby farm with lots of animals to see. Perfect 5min walk to a cute small town including: grocery, meat market, coffee, and great shopping, great views, excellent hospitality (and the farm fresh eggs and brownies we delish!). For the golfers, there’s even an excellent 18 hole golf course 5 minutes away! Don’t miss out on this rental!

We had a lovely break with friends in this superb cottage. Beautiful location and lovely views. Lovely walks just out from the cottage over the Peaks. Cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped, everything we wanted and more! Perfect for us and our dogs! We’d recommend the local Italian- delicious pizzas to take away. Owners were very helpful and discreet. The welcome pack included a delicious homemade lemon drizzle cake which was amazing!

What an amazing property with stunning views and easy access into New Mills town centre and other locations by car or train.
The hosts were friendly and welcoming and left us gifts of home made raspberry blondies and fresh eggs from the farm.
The cottage was spotless, comfortable, well decorated and well equipped with everything you could possibly want during your stay.
We had our family dog with us who absolutely loved the garden area and fantastic walks on your doorstep.
I will definitely be back and would not hesitate in recommending to family, friends and anyone wanting to visit the Peak District.
Thank you so much for your hospitality Cath and David

The house was immaculate, well equipped and in a stunning location. We had a very warm welcome from the owners and very much enjoyed the eggs and flapjacks! There's loads to do in the local area, including plenty of walks from the doorstep. It was a perfect holiday base for our family and dogs.

Perfect location for Peak District and Manchester
The cottage is very attractive, well appointed and in a lovely location. The photographs do not do either the property or views from it justice and therefore, although we were looking forward to staying there, it was a pleasant surprise that everything was even better than we had anticipated.
It is light, bright and spacious and very well equipped and provides a perfect home from home. The house book provides complete information on restaurants, places to visit and also walks around the area. The walks are well worth doing as the area is beautiful and on foot is a great way to see it, as well as being a very good form of exercise with all the hills!
New Mills has two train stations, with one being only ten minutes walk away at the bottom of the hill into town. In 30 minutes you can be in Manchester or in 45 minutes Sheffield.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Dave made us feel very welcome. We hope to be back some day and can recommend it as a great place to stay without hesitation.

Perfect Stay
Brow Farm Cottage was aa excellent choice for our stay in New Mills to visit my son and daughter-in-law and their new baby. The cottage is very warm and comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The delicious home made cakes waiting for us on our arrival was a lovely touch. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely return.

Amazing place
Myself, husband, daughter & my parents spent 2 nights here along with max our dog. The cottage is so nice and cosy while being spacious all at the same time. It was a lovely chilled out weekend, watching films, playing games and walks to the pub! Can definitely recommend the food at the fox inn! We would happily return in a heartbeat. There was some lovely gestures at check in for the humans and a treat for Max!

Superb stay
This break was booked unbeknown to me as my birthday present for this year enabling me to be together with my children and their partners after they hadn’t seen each other since Christmas 2019. The accommodation is excellent in every respect and the welcome from David on arrival was lovely. Having our own private garden with superb view was fab - and the garden chairs and picnic bench meant we were able to enjoy being outside relaxing and dining “al fresco” every day. Fresh eggs and home baked strawberry flapjack on arrival, fresh flowers in the kitchen and so many personal touches to make it a truly memorable stay. We hope to be back - there’s no better recommendation than that.

Perfect place to stay in the Peaks
Fantastic stay. We were 5 adults and a dog. Incredible views from the cottage, loads of space and first rate accommodation. Newly furbished to a high degree, everything you could need including delicious homemade cakes and eggs from friendly and welcoming hosts. Wonderful vista from the garden and yet within easy walk to pubs and town centre. Perfect Definitely recommend!

Great stay
We loved the property and Cath and Dave were friendly but also allowed us our privacy.
We visited with my elderly parents so the walk from the cottage to the town was too much for them but would be fine for the more able.
Beautiful views and very comfortable accommodation.
Would definitely recommend.

Exactly what we were looking for
Everything about the stay was fantastic including the price! The place was stunning and check in and out was very easy. We enjoyed a lovely walk in the area on the Saturday. The hosts left fresh eggs, milk and homemade brownies which was great when we arrived. We cooked both nights and had all pots, pans and utensils needed. We will definitely come back in the future when we have another university reunion!

Lovely short break in the Hogh Peaks
David and Cath made us feel extremely welcome. The accommodation was warm (2 degrees outside), very clean and well equipped. Views from the cottage were stunning and we found the local town had a rich history. Great nearby walks but the highlight was spending the day in Hayfield and walking the Snake path in beautiful sunshine. We wished we had more time to explore, and walk further. Highly recommended.

Stunning accommodation, great location and wonderful hosts
I don't usually write reviews but just had to after our stay at this cottage at New Mills, High Peak. The cottage really is beautiful, the best short-stay break accommodation we have ever stayed in. It has been well thought out and we particularly loved the galleried lounge on the first floor. It's finished to a high standard and was spotless. It felt as though everything had been thought of, but if it hadn't, I'm sure the owners would magically provide it! The owners are lovely, really welcoming and friendly. The cakes and eggs (and another surprise loved by our daughter!) were delicious and appreciated, thank you.
In terms of location, there were plenty of suggestions in the Welcome Pack. We did two walks during our stay and there was plenty to see. It is a beautiful location. The Pride of the Peaks had a great breakfast menu and is a short walk from the cottage.
We will definitely return. Thank you xx

Wow! Was not expecting that amazing view
LOVED LOVED LOVED our time at High Peak. Was everything we wanted and needed it to be for a family celebration/get together for xmas.
Cath was so helpful from the moment we booked and we had a lovely cake gifted to us on our arrival.
The cottage itself was ideal for us, a family of 4, a couple and 2 dogs. Ample space.
Everyone said we’ll be going back..but for longer next time! :-)

Lovely cottage - immaculate and has everything you'll need
I live close by to this cottage and I rented it for my brother and his family who were coming up from London for a long weekend. It is immaculate, really well-appointed and finished to a very high standard, and it felt really spacious. I wished I was staying in it too! The kids loved the animals and were very appreciative of the freshly baked cake and the eggs that Cath left for them. I think they were amazed to see eggs of different sizes and colours.
I would highly recommend this lovely cottage for a holiday. It's ideal for people who love walking, cycling, and fresh air and it gives easy access to the Peak district in one direction and the nightlife of Manchester in the other.

Beautifully restored with lovely personal touches
We had a lovely weekend, made very welcome by Cath and David. Cake and tea on arrival!
The barn has been converted with a lot of care and has a real 'solid' feel about it. The location is beautiful, the farm animals gorgeous.
Altogether I would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Enjoyed a lovely week at Brow Farm. The holiday cottage is to a very high standard and the homemade cake and fresh eggs were an added bonus on arrival!

PERFECT PET FRIENDLY PROPERTY IN THE PEAK DISTRICT
We were extremely fortunate in the weather and so were able to make the best of the wonderful views. The location is perfect for walking the dogs, and there is the benefit of the enclosed garden.
Inside the house, it is spacious, very comfortable and very well equipped.
Look forward to returning.

Beautiful Cottage with stunning views
Me and my family had a lovely weekend at this beautiful cottage. The views are amazing and it was lovely having the farm animals in the surrounding fields. We were made to feel so welcome and it was lovely coming into the cottage to find the fresh eggs and chocolate brownie that had been left for us! Thank you so much for a brilliant weekend!

Great weekend, beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting.
As the title says, we stayed at the cottage for 2 nights in a February (not long enough-will have to go back!), Cath and Dave were so friendly and helpful, quick to respond to messages. Wow, the cottage is beautiful, clean, warm, cosey and the cake, eggs and doggy bits was such a sweet gesture. We were a family of 4 adults, 2 boys and a dog and we all had a great time. From here we went to Heights of Abraham which is about 50 minutes drive, great day out. You must try the chip shop in New Mills, fantastic food and value for money. On our way home we went via Dovedale but equally it is very do able in a day as only about 50 minutes drive. Thank you again, for a great weekend. We will be back!

There is no negative what so ever. Spacious barn, full of character with floor heating and comfy beds. Very clean through every room. Would definitely recommend this property highly. Owners are very kind and friendly as well. On our arrival they even gave us free range eggs from their farm and home made cake. We had an amazing time there.

Total Bliss!
I stayed here with my family and parents and it is amazing.
Cath and David are great hosts who have thought of everything and could not be more welcoming. The cottage is in a great location was spotless with s warm homely feel.
Our dog was also made very welcome with blankets, treats and bowls, she loved it.
I would recommend a stay here and Cath’s homemade cake is worth a stay on its own.
Thank you Cath and David - we didn’t want to come home!
