"Perfect accomodation to host our yearly family Christmas celebration. Lovely cottages in a beautiful location. Hosts couldn't have been more accomodation. Thank you.."

"A great little stay in Thors Cottage. Stunning views from the doorstep - we caught a lovely sunset on day one! Emily had the travel cot and stairs gates set up for us on arrival - this made our stay with a toddler and new baby really smooth. A nice little space and a perfect base for us to explore some of the Derbyshire Dale's! 😊 Brilliantly equipped for us as a family. Would highly recommend for all. Thank you! "

"A fantastic place to stay for families- the accomodation was wonderful and the playbarn/outside play area was beyond perfect for keeping our children occupied and tiring them out towards the end of the day. The accomodation is also very well stocked in terms of lots of items for young children (high chairs/cots/bed rails) that make packing so much easier. Emily and Tom were on hand and very available to answer any questions we had in advance and on the trip itself. A truly brilliant place to base yourself in the Peak District.."
