What a find! This little cottage has everything for a very comfortable stay in the Peaks. Clean, very well equipped and dog friendly. The wood burner made it very cosy although it also has central heating. Lovely kitchen with everything you need down to the dog bowl! Linen provided and free wifi, local maps. Not ideal if you have mobility problems as access is on a very steep hill. The walks are all on your doorstep and the scenery is breathtaking. We were very lucky to have lovely weather for February which just made the walks and scenery even better. The back garden isn't really 'dog proof' for smaller breeds but it wasn't a problem. The village is lovely with dog friendly pubs and local stores that are more than sufficient, although larger supermarkets are only a short drive away. I would recommend walks along the Pennine way, Kinder and if you don't mind a drive, visit hope wood along snakes pass. A car really isn't necessary for a week as there are plenty of walks locally. There is a small cost for logs which are provided for purchase at the cottage, but we took our own for the week. We also took a slow cooker which was a bonus as there isn't one there, but its great coming back to a prepared meal. however, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the washing machine is a much needed bonus after very muddy walks! This is 5 star in every way, can't fault it at all, highly recommended.
