We were contested on the day of arrival by the owners to let us know we could check in early and arrived to fine a bottle of wine and box of chocolates to welcome us. The cottage was large enough for the 6 of us with 3 double rooms (one could be swapped for a twin of you contact to ask), 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen/diner/sitting room. The local area was beautiful, literally round the corner to Carsington Water and a short drive to The Height of Abraham and Peak Wlidlife Park, both of which are a must if you are in the area. A lovely cottage, in beautiful surroundings, what more could you ask for.

Well maintained and pleasant to stay in. Small bonus - the owners contacted us to tell us we could get in early. We had a good holiday.

The curtains in the twin bedroom could do with being a bit longer as the light comes in under the curtain 10/10 will definitely be booking again
