Comfy bed so we both slept well. All things considered this cottage was a great choice for us. Needs some nice wine glasses and that would be our only criticism, very enjoyable break.

We could walk to get a coffee, and groceries. Double bed was very saggy and really quite uncomfortable. We would encourage the owners to replace it.

Its position is prime for all Wirksworth treasures. Maybe instructions for the oven and washer would be a bonus
