The dog bowls, dog towel and dog bed were brilliant to have waiting for us too. The garden was a real bonus for us, we were very lucky with the weather so it was lovely to sit in after a long walk, and we ate outside a couple of evenings too. I hate coming home to lots of holiday washing so for me the washing machine was a real bonus. As for communication with George, he messaged us to say we could check in early, where they kept a fan on the warmer days and generally answered any queries asap. The cottage was perfect for our needs and we would love to stay there again.

Lovely property for family of four and in good location to go off and explore the Peaks. I think it would be useful to have additional instructions on how to get to the parking behind the property as it doesnât quite come up on sat nav. People though are friendly and point you in the right direction.
