Lots of amazing places to visit locally with excellent walks to enjoy. We had the best meal at the Peacock at Cutthorpe and Hackney House coffee shop at the end of the Read moreroad serve great food. Thank you for our treats and delicious cake. Hide

My partner and I had a great time. Lovely cottage! There is a lot of love and care in every detail. Everything was perfect, and the cake, milk, fruit, and bread were such a sweet, heart-warming surprise. A truly special stay in the Peak District

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and unique in it's inside design. The view from upstairs window was fantastic as cottage high up from the village of Barlow approx one and half miles down the road. It does say in the write-up that the pubs here are within walking distance. If you very fit they are but at night it's very dark country road walk baRead moreck and all uphill which not pleasant after a meal/drink for older people. Not a problem taking the car.
