Lovely cottage and stunning views

This is the second time we have stayed and it’s a lovely cottage to spend some time in. The views are stunning. The cottage has everything you need and is lovely and clean. The only downside is the wifi, especially if you travel with older kids, because it is limited. It didn’t affect our stay but worth knowing.

A comfortable bolt hole

The location is close to many white peak walks. The accommodation is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and two bathrooms with powerful showers. Jo, the owner welcomed on arrival and was incredibly helpful when we needed her advice. Will certainly look to visit again

Perfect Break

Had the most amazing 2 nights at Snipe Cottage, Jo was there the moment we arrived to show us around. Location was perfect, tucked away on a country lane with spectacular views. Cottage had everything you could need, games, books, everything for cooking a family meal, dishwasher and a washer dryer which came in really handy after muddy walks, there is a clothes airer and the underfloor heating certainly helped in drying boots off in the boot room! Jo herself was such a lovely host, she gave lots of time to my daughter who is horse obsessed, telling her about each of the horses on the livery and allowing her to feed a carrot or two! She also recommended the most amazing pet friendly pub which is no more than 10 minutes away, The Lazy Trout is a must visit, food was beautiful and they even had a pup menu! The cottage was central for lots of exploring, Bakewell is a nice town to walk around and Chee Dale Stepping Stones is a fantastic walk, however at the moment the riverbanks are deep mud for at least 2 miles of the walk, therefore only go if you have the right footwear...and maybe a change of clothes in the car, lots of people had fallen into the mud! Will definitely be back as this flying visit was not enough time in the most beautiful of places! Thank you again Jo!

This may be an old barn but it has been beautifully renovated and is a spacious, comfortable and cosy place to stay while in the Peak District. It is in a stunning location and Jo made us feel very welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay.
