Very welcoming and kindly host. Not much to do in Kingsley so entertainment in the room is a must.
Pros:

Julie the host is really lovely and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble and you’re made to feel at home.
Ideal if you’re booked on the churnet valley railway as it’s just down the road.

Cons:

Only two small gripes.
The bedroom could do with a television so that we didn’t have to invade Julie’s private space to relax in the evening.

The bathroom we were allocated was very nice, but even with just the hot water flowing on its on it was only just warm enough for a sat down shower and not enough water pressure.
