The Old Cobblers was beautiful and very comfortable. Lovely decor and furnishings, pretty sheltered front patio, great bed and super rain fall shower. I did find the latter a bit slippery after using conditioner, and there was a small puddle on the floor after each shower, so perhaps the screen seal should be checked - I wouldn't like the floor to get spoilt! Close to everything in Hayfield with convenient parking immediately outside. I've never used an Aga before, but managed to warm some of the local butcher's sausage rolls in the roasting oven!

Property spread over three floors, very comfortable, lovely Aga in the ground floor kitchen. Could have done with an extra blanket for the comfy bed! We tried to park considerately, small cul-de-sac, mindful of local neighbours parking requirements.

Very clean, well-maintained, and with everything we needed for the weekend. The communication from the owners was also excellent. The towels and bed for the dog were very welcome and we loved the thoughtful Easter decorations and little touches. We visit the Peak District several times a year so will definitely book again.
