This is a very well equipped character cottage in a quiet peaceful village with great walking from the door, yet only twenty minutes walk from the larger village of Youlgrave with it's three pubs, two shops and cafe.

Cottage was lovely and cozy with all the modern comforts. Location was great for us in a quiet village away from the main tourist spots - but still handy for most locations in the peak district. Nice walks straight from the front door of the cottage - overall we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly book again.
