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.

Relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable stay!
Pros:

Julie’s hospitality and friendliness were wonderful, we really enjoyed our stay with her and would definitely return if we were in the area again. Higherlands was a perfect location for where we needed to be, the bed was really comfortable (and we enjoyed the pool table too) and Julie’s breakfast was spot on!

Cons:

There was nothing that we didn’t like.
