This was our second stay at Holly Bank. We love this cottage, easy access to many interesting places to visit, or comfortable to just stay and relax. Plenty of room for children to run around. We had perfect weather and enjoyed staying cool by sitting under the large Sycamore tree and watching the world go by. A walk up to Crich Stand is recommended, amazing views and another place to sit and enjoy it all. The local pub is within easy staggering distance! The beds are so comfortable, so dropping off to sleep at the end of the day is no problem. A highly recommended place to stay. We will definitely be rebooking. ##### Kevin This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola 2 Nov 2020 #### A lovely, warm, well equipped and comfortable cottage.
