The croft was just perfect, out in the countryside, (lovely views across fields), it's own private patio garden too, but close to so much of the area for visiting and walking. We were greeted on arrival by Julie, who just happened to be near the cottage. So she took us in and showed us around and told us about heating etc. The most delicious lemon drizzle cake was left for us, along with some milk, tea, coffee etc. Several NT properties aren't too far away, and beautiful Chatsworth House a little bit further afield. Dovedale and Ilam is not far and we enjoyed a lovely walk there, although the car park, though it's large can be very busy. Weather was a bit up and down, but this was September and only to be expected. Thank you for your hospitality
