Delighted you enjoyed your stay at Jack's Cottage. Recommendation is the best form of advertising - although it was a lovely surprise to be listed in the Sunday Times Travel section in March 2018 as one of the '50 Coolest Cottages in the UK'! We hope to welcome you again sometime and thank you for taking the time to post your lovely review of Jack's Cottage, Longnor. Till next time! Mary

Lovely terraced cottage

Good location between Bakewell and Buxton. Good cafe and pub in the village. Arrived in sunshine and sat on the bench at the front enjoying a drink. Small cottage off the main road so quiet but near the shop and cafe. Lovely garden and good quality bed linen. Enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property in charming village

Our first visit to the Peak District and we enjoyed every minute! Jack’s cottage was perfect for us and our dog. Lovely garden - we enjoyed breakfast in the sun, good pub, shops and coffee shop. Sadly the Fish& Chip shop wasn’t open - opening mid-May! Great walks, local pubs and good weather made a wonderful visit.

Five star cottage in Longnor

Jack's Cottage was a really lovely place for us to stay on our Peak District holiday. It was even better than in the photos! The bed and the sofa were very comfortable; the appliances were straightforward to use; the garden was a lovely spot for reading; the house had loads of character. Lots of local information was supplied, which we found really helpful. Mary was a great host - she left a very nice welcoming gift, and contacted us to see if everything was ok after we had arrived.

Clean and very cosy

Clean and comfortable in a nice spot. Very small - not obvious how small from the photos. Impractical kitchen for any serious self catering - especially as local pub looks nice but unfortunately has zero veggie/vegan options. A larger bed would have been appreciated - however the listing did state double bed.

Perfect for two

Jack’s Cottage may well be small but yet it’s perfectly formed which is decorated and finished to a very good standard. This perfect hide away is nestled in the very pretty village of Longnor where we enjoyed breakfast in Jack’s garden (fresh provisions can be purchased only seconds away at Longnor General Store) cosy evenings curled up on the couch watching TV and we had great fun exploring the surrounding areas with little or difficulty due to its central location. Having enjoyed a good long walk, or for that matter a good nights sleep what could be better than to treat yourself to invigorating shower...? Jack’s Cottage has it covered. And If being a god or goddess in the kitchen is not your thing, fear not as there are several rather good eateries within spitting distance of your front door. The fish & chip shop literally at the end of the street is not to be missed, diagonally across the market square you will find Cobbles Cafe for a terrific bacon butty or full English breakfast which will set up up for a days walking, then virtually next door you will find Merchants House for some relaxed daytime or evening dining. Our only regret is that we didn’t feel that the weather cold enough to light up the fire, but then it’s a reason to return not that we need one. Until next time...
