We had a wonderful short break at this beautiful well equipped cottage. It has everything you need and more. Lots to do nearby, enjoyed Matlcok Bath and the Heights of Abraham. Had a great meal at The Greyhound Inn, less than a 5 min walk from the Cottage. We enjoyed having breakfast in the little courtyard garden with the radio playing. Shame we had to go home! ##### Nikki Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Chatsworth, Hardwick and the Dales Picked this cottage due to it's proximity to family members and the places we wanted to visit in the White Peak. Apart from being a well maintained, clean and cosy place, we were particularly impressed by the little touches such as the welcome pack of wine and snacks, the amply stocked kitchen and almost everything we would expect at home but not always in a rental property. In short, comfortable, cosy and clean. Excellent! ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Y 24 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely cottage Cottage was lovely.
