Thrift cottage is a charming cottage retaining lots of original features like panelled doors, a traditional dresser and a lovely stone fireplace with wood burner. In a little parade of cottages close to the centre of this picturesque village, you can really feel part of local life. It's still milk and eggs from the milkman. The Queen Anne pub is famed for its hearty meals and great ale! Great Hucklow is out in the 'wilds' of Derbyshire in the real Peak District with its patchwork of stone walls and fields, fantastic stone outcrops, magnificent dales and lovely sparkling rivers. Climb to the top of Hucklow Edge as the paragliders float by, have a pint in the Barrel Inn and just marvel at one of the best views in the world. Yet the interesting 'plague' village of Eyam is just a few minutes' drive away, as is Tideswell with its range of shops, pubs, cafes and 'Cathedral of the Peak' church. Then in complete contrast you are not far from attractions as diverse as Chatsworth House, Carsington Water, Castleton's caverns, the National Tramway Museum.

Overall the cottage is lovely, quaint and a great place for 4 people. It's in a lovely location and literally a stones throw away from the local pub. Would recommend.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. We used the cottage as a base for a full on weekend of walking and it was perfect for us. Quiet and cosy I would recommend the cottage in a heartbeat to anyone!

Comfortable cottage in a good location for exploring the Peaks. King sized bed was okay, smaller beds were quite uncomfortable. Location was nice, opposite the pub and village was quiet. No outdoor space or washing machine so make sure youre prepared for this.

A lovely little cottage, well equipped, nice new kitchen and shower room, fitted out to a high standard. Being a cottage there were some head bumps for my 6 tall partner!! Steep stairs, but had a bannister. Comfy double bed, single beds maybe not so as appear to be ex bunk beds. Good location. Nice pub across the road with good pub grub!

This is a fantastic little cottage that is finished to an extremely high standard. It is very cosy, comfortable and well-equipped and felt very homely. It's in a very good location too.
