    On arrival, met by Mike the owner, who was very friendly. The accommodation is very spacious and very warm and comfortable inside. The hot tub was fabulous, lots of different jets and lights and actually lovely and warm. Plenty of towels provided. Would have liked a laminated sheet on how to use the hot tub ( rather than the laminated sheet of 24 points on what not to do in the hot tub), Mike did show us on arrival but easy to forget. No tea, coffee, milk or any other food related welcome for arrival. Not a problem if your expectations are nothing so you can bring everything. Beautiful log burner, but again no logs at all, just paper in the fire, so again bring your own logs and firefighters if you want a nice fire. All in all a lovely break.

    Lovely hot tub and seating area. Note front garden is enclosed but don’t let your dog loose in there if agile as will be over the wall. Hot tub area is not enclosed. The views are beautiful and paddocks and footpaths to walk. A lovely peaceful haven and base for the Staff/Derbys moors and peaks.

    Only thing could do with a spare fridge as with 8 people in a self catering property a 2nd fridge would make a huge difference. Perfect location for a chill but also walks are available .
