Host Suzanne is certainly very focused on providing an excellent visitor experience. From leaving a well stocked welcome pack, a basket provided with goodies for your dog, she also goes above and beyond to provide information to ensure an enjoyable stay. Location is perfect for getting out and about without travelling too far, and we always looked forward to returning to the cottage to spend our evenings in such a lovely cottage. Highly recommend Robin Cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful break, you will not be disappointed, and we would love to return sometime in the future. Thank you, best wishes Sandie & Roger

I was with my two dogs Vincent and Theo, and my friend Lynn. It is perfect for a stay in the Peak District, I walked my 2 dogs from a different starting place every day - the furthest I had to drive was a mere 15 miles. Suzannes directions for finding Robin Cottage were spot on - thank you! The two welcome baskets were top quality (one for humans, one for dogs), the milk/butter/eggs were especially appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and sitting at the dining table there's so much history to read on the cottage walls. The sitting room is so cosy - I was grateful that I had packed my dogs fleece throws to cover the beautiful fitted carpet - and their beds too, so that they settled well at night. The Welcome Book was full of fascinating facts on the history of Robin Cottage. Upstairs the two bedrooms had comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. I would love to stay at Robin Cottage in the future.
