Great property, but we had no phone signal or maps, we tried to look where we were staying and my daughter got verbally abused by a neighbour, all she wanted was some help. Must make people aware of no phone signal or internet.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay! We booked it for a quiet family birthday weekend away, and were all absolutely delighted with it. There were seven of us, and we all fitted in comfortably - the property is very comfortable and spacious, with great outdoor areas too. It is beautifully located with stunning views all round, close to Ilam Hall and the trail to the Dovedale Stepping Stones. We were just so impressed with how well-equipped the place was - everything needed for a fantastic stay was there. Thank you for a wonderful stay in the Peak District!

For a weekend meet up with friends, this bungalow was ideally placed with lots of things to do on the doorstep. Great value for money, clean, warm, tidy with everything you need. Beds were super comfy and the linen was crisp and inviting! Flexible layout allowed for each family to have space and bathrooms. We’ll definitely be back!
