Fabulous cottage
By Lianne Day on 14-Sep-2025Very clean with everything you need.. Angus is always very welcoming and approachable. The location is perfect for central and north Peak District with lovely walks up to the edge or Chatsworth. One of our favourite holidays. We have been visiting for more than five years.
The perfect holiday cottage for us
By Marie Johnson on 21-Sep-2025Tick Tock Cottage is ideally placed in a quiet part of the beautiful village of Baslow. Wonderful views from the bedroom upstairs, the cottage is comfortable, light and airy. The kitchen is really well equipped for self catering and had everything we needed (it is in fact better equipped than some of the bigger properties we have stayed in).. There is access to the garden and patio as well as the cottage. It has off road parking which is always an advantage as many walks straight from the door. Angus is a wonderful host without being intrusive and is on hand for any issues. We’ve stayed in many cottages in the Peak over the years and this is without doubt one of the best small cottages we have used.
