I had an absolutely lovely time staying at this beautiful little cottage over the Christmas holidays. It was the perfect peaceful retreat. The host was so communicative and the place was gorgeous. I got out for plenty of sunrises and runs around the Derwent. Glad to be back in the North. Thank you so much, I’ll definitely be back!

Beautifully presented, comfy, cosy cottage in very tranquil surroundings. So peaceful and no light pollution at night, so you can see so many stars! Bear in mind nearest shop is apx 30 mins drive away. This is a remote, beautiful location. Mix up when we arrived as wrong key code had been sent through for lock box. Called host number (we arrived late in evening) which took three attempts to get through, but they sorted it straightaway once I spoke to someone. Another person from the team also called me back within minutes from a prev voicemail I left, which was also reassuring. Definitely recommend this lovely cottage, a must for nature, fresh air and relaxing.
