Lovely place to stay for a long weekend…though the cottage had everything to enable a longer stay. Had everything we needed and more! Really lovely hosts who were easily contactable if needed. Lots of thoughtful extras including fans in each...

The cottage is very spacious, nicely decorated and quirky. Loved watching the birds over the window. We were there in November, so didn't really use the terrace but would be fantastic with a good weather.

The property is absolutely beautiful and so spacious! Very generous goodies provided by the hosts.The bird feeder was a revelation, we just don't see the broad variety of birds seen here, in the suburbs of Derby city centre. Very peaceful location.
