The perfect retreat
The cottage is cosy, comfortable and easy to live in. The location is beautiful and secluded with a lovely little village only a few minutes drive away. Plenty of things to do within a few miles drive and lots of walking. Jo, the host, is welcoming and very helpful. We were 3 friends catching up and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay although the weather was very windy and we had rain and snow showers so couldn’t make the most of the outdoor space. We would definitely recommend the cottage and the area and we hope to go back again for more fun times.

Peaceful long weekend away
We've been here before and enjoyed it so much we have returned and we're about to make our next booking. It is so peaceful here, the views are lovely (even with the fog!) The cottage is warm, cosy and comfortable. There is everything we needed and many things we didn't think about but appreciated having such as washing powder to use after our muddy walks. We'd definitely recommend Lud's Church as a walk, but get there early as the carpark is small and it is VERY popular. A big bonus for us is that it is dog and child friendly with and ENCLOSED garden and a lovely pond walk straight out the front door.

Great place to get away from it all
We set out to have a relaxing/restful week, which we achieved. The weather meant that staying in for some of the time was the best option and the cottage was comfortable. A car is a must here as the nearest village shop is a few miles away by busy road with no footpaths. With this in mind, a small piece of feedback would be to provide some provisions including bread with the welcome pack. Jo and Colin were great hosts and we would recommend a stay here. (Good news for owners of electric cars - they are having a charging point installed soon - so there will be no need to worry about where to charge after a long journey to get there).

Curlew cottage
Lovely well equipped cottage, cosy and comfortable. The weather was slightly unkind to us but we had an active holiday lots of walking and even a bike ride. We did manage to sit outside on a couple evenings to enjoy the wonderful view. We will return !

Oh, the tranquillity
We stayed in the Curlew cottage. A very comfortable, beautiful home from home. We looked forward to our morning brews, outdoors with stunning views and late summer warmth. The cottage was well catered to cook there if preferred. Quiet location but close to local amenities at Leek and Buxton. There's plenty to do and see - we'll be back to finish our list of places to see and walks to tread. One week was just not enough!
