It was nice to have the option of a bath. The kitchen has everything you need plus! The outside area was nice to use for dining and it was lovely to watch the peacock as well as the hens and their chicks. The price reflected the standard of the upkeep of the property. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it for its excellent location.

Immediate surroundings not very attractive but daily visits by Peacock and ducks livened our stay. Ideally placed for touring Derbyshire.
