Mr C,

This cottage is the best we have booked in the last few years with our old rescue dog. Ideal and parking is great. When we arrived I was thrilled because some cottages are slightly disappointing. Fab pub so close too which was very useful for meeting friends during my 80th birthday week. THANK YOU.

Excellent cottage in wonderful location. Well-equipped with generous amounts of washing materials, coffee pods and welcome basket. An excellent week.

Mrs L,

Carpet and sofas were dirty with pet hair would have cleaned myself but no hoover, air fresheners all empty so smell from oil heater was over powering, cooker extractor didn’t work , windows dirty. The holiday was saved by the good weather and excellent pub in a beautiful village.

Mrs G,

Excellent house, well furnished and equipped, garden was perfect to sit out in and our dogs loved the garden. Village was very typical of a welcoming country hamlet.

Mr B,

What a fantastic cottage, in a ideal location a real home from home. Very clean with everything you could possibly need. The cottage is situated in a perfect location for beautiful walks in the Peaks from your doorstep, but also a short drive away from other beautiful towns such as Bakewell and Buxton. The village of Parwich is very tranquil and a visit to the Sycamore Inn is highly recommended, the food is amazing. We fell in love with the cottage and did not want to come home! We will definitely be back.

Mrs B,
