A fabulous stay!
By A Rose on 21-Jul-2022We had a fabulous stay for a low key hen-do. The house and setting blew everyone away, and was topped off with a welcome hamper of local produce. The local pub the Tiger Inn had amazing views and a decent Sunday roast too.
A beautiful house - better service!
By E Berkowitz on 07-Jul-2022A beautiful house on the edge of the Peak Distric, and a perfect location for a multi-family or large group getaway. Best equipped kitchen of any vacation rental we''ve stayed in! Despite its age, the house is equipped with numerous modern amenities, a firepit (with wood supplied) and hot tub, a gorgeous main bathroom, and excellent central heating. Beds are comfortable, and the bedrooms are comfortably furnished. Bedrooms in the eaves have many options for different bed configurations but be aware that one of the bedrooms can only be accessed through another. Also, the single floor beds provided in some of the rooms are really best for children under, say, 12 years old. The host, Lee, couldn''t be more helpful and accommodating, and responds rapidly to emails.
Gorgeous weekend, and stunning gardens!
By A Wellens on 25-May-2022We went as a group of 4 adults and 8 children for an activity weekend. The house was beautiful; loads of room, stunning gardens and a hot tub too. Such a gorgeous weekend and we all loved it.
The most fantastic weekend for a hen do!
By A Louise on 03-Apr-2022A group of 15 of us have just spent the most fantastic weekend here as part of a hen do. From start to finish the communication was fantastic and the hosts were so accommodating, answering any question I had got. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. I’d highly recommend this cottage to any large group and will certainly be returning should I need a group venue in future.
