Honestly, we are already looking at booking this property again! We stayed for a long weekend, which was not enough time! The property itself is set in the countryside secured by an electric gate. The owners live on site behind the barn so would be on hand should any problems arise. The room set up is two twin rooms, so don't expect to be in the same bed as your partner - for us, the photos showed this so we knew this would be the case. The property looked and smelled so clean upon arrival, and it's really a lot bigger than the photos make it look! The kitchen is very well equipped, even had egg cups and a pizza cutter. The only niggle we had was that the TV wasn't smart as described - this wouldn't have been the owners fault, unfortunately Netflix and other apps have stopped supporting certain TV brands - I have resolved this issue by purchasing a Roku for the owners as a gift from us. Hopefully this will help future visitors - we had two children under 14 so they're not used to 'normal' TV! Wi-Fi very good, which I wasn't expecting being quite remote. If you love walking then this is a great place to stay, we travelled locally on the first day to find the Three Shires Head waterfall - didn't succeed but it was a wonderful walk - the second day we headed to Glossop for another waterfall and was successful! Our final day we visited Matlock Bath, which was a little more relaxing! Honestly, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your property!

This property is maintained to a great spec... Everything you need is there. Very comfortable and cosy, Ourselves and the dogs had a lovely stay. Would definitely re-book if visiting the area again. It rained most days we were there, so the log burner at night was wonderful. I can only imagine how nice it would be to sit on the patio when it is sunny, as the views are stunning.

A beautiful cottage in a great location if you just want to get away from it all in the middle of the countryside. Lots of beautiful scenic walks on the doorstep. Cottage is equipped with everything you need and more. A great mix of modern and traditional decor including a fantastic log burner for the winter and a flagged terrace for the summer. Isabel the host was fantastic. Looking forward to our next stay.
