An honest review Some house keeping issues on arrival, but nothing that we could not rectify, but disappointing all the same. The cottage was beautiful but some of the furniture needs replacing and some areas need some TLC. I would have preferred to find, milk on arrival along with other little complimentary items mentioned when the booking was made. The location is perfectly situated and only a 10 minute walk into Hathersage where there are loads on independent deli's, restaurants, inns etc.

Thank you for your feedback, Annette. We are sorry the cottage had housekeeping and furniture issues and that the complimentary items were missing. Could you share your booking reference, arrival date and any photos so we can pass this to our team to investigate?
