Superb property that is traditional and elegant but also relaxed and homely. Located ideally close to many Peak District attractions. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the breakfast was superb. We hope to return again soon!

Peaceful setting in a stunning Georgian house, super clean with friendly staff and tasty food.
Pros:

Stunning location surrounded by nature. Squirrels and pheasants in the garden, really peaceful.
Really friendly young lad working there really valuable member of staff. Close to Matlock Bath.

Cons:

Only small negative was not having a slightly later breakfast on Saturday which would have enabled us to do the nearby parkrun and eat on return.
