July 2018
The owner provided a most thoughtful welcome of home baked cakes,bread,milk and spread upon arrival.. The cottage is clean,tidy,comfortable and well positioned to explore the mines and caverns and shops, giving a short drive to Bakewell, Buxton, Castleton, Ashbourne, Chatsworth and Keddleston. The tissington trail is literally on the doorstep and monsail is close by as well for the walkers. The garden is large and sunny for evenings to relax in. The cottage has central heating and a wood-burner for the winter walkers, and a bath with shower over. The Waterloo pub is popular with the locals and provides a friendly atmosphere and good ‘home cooked’ food, next to the pub, Biggin Hall is located and provides a more up market setting for finer dining. The owner provides linen and towels a starter of loo rolls and electricity. There is a new electric oven,microwave,dishwasher and washing machine. Iron and ironing board. A plentiful supply of mugs,cups,glasses pans and utensils. The lounge has a small TV and DVD player(not blue ray) good selection of board and garden games. The cottage has a small room with a cot,baby monitor and changing mat for the young family with a fixed child gate at the top of the stairs together with a second child gate which can be placed anywhere. There is a second outside loo which is very handy. I have stayed in many cottages throughout the country over the years and can say that the thoughtfulness and care of the owner for her guests is evident throughout the cottage, I would highly recommend it.
