David
Extremely clean and well equipped property with loads of space inside. All the rooms were good sizes unlike some holiday cottages we have stayed in. Owners are very friendly if needed but leave you to your own space if desired. We had a lovely tour when the cows were being milked. Location is great, both for driving to local places and walking/cycling along the Tissington Trail which goes right past the farm. We would stay again without hesitation.

The owners were very friendly and helpful. The views from the property were lovely, and access to the Tissington Trail right on our doorstep. We would happily return there in the future.
