This is a beautiful, quiet location. The hut is cute and gorgeous. But it has downsides. Unlike a campsite, you cannot park your car near your hut. As the storage in the hut is little more than in a tent (unlike a caravan), then using the car as storage is not really an option. The toilet/shower room looked lovely, and was very large, but the shower was not great. It is operated by a pull-out lever, which I found I kept knocking to either turn the shower off, or knock it into the very cold position! As it has little power (done on head of water, of which there is not much), then it is not possible to direct the water away from the lever to avoid this. Also, the drain was inconveniently located, directly under the shower head, so that you either had to stand in the hairs of the previous user, or stand with legs astride of the drain. The lack of power meant that showering took longer, so was perhaps a false economy. As were the strip lights, which are only more economical if turned on/off for 3-4 times a day, not many times as here, and hence have an irritating flicker. Personally, we did not like the shower room being entered through a door in the kitchen area; showering with your neighbour doing the washing up just the other side of an internal door felt a little weird. There is only one shower for the 2 huts, potentially up to 5 people. This did not present problem for us, but if everyone preferred a morning shower, and both huts were leaving the same day, this could have caused hold ups. Something to carry washing up to and from the utility room would have been useful. When camping I use a collapsible crate. One final bug bear - the gate, which you have to go through between the hut and the utility/shower or car - has a strong spring-loaded catch. This was hard to pull back because of the angle of the handle, plus the strength needed really did not do my bad shoulder any favours. Look, I'm being honest. It wasn't a bad stay, in fact we had a lovely time, but there were a few little annoyances, which I have highlighted, taking up a disproportionate amount of space compared to the positives, but I wanted to explain them so that other users know what they are letting themselves in for, thus making it less of a disappointment when they encounter them!

If you want to get away from it all and really switch off, then go here! The Shepherds Hut is kitted out really well and is so cozy once the log burner is lit. The outside space is private and the bbq was great! We had loads of fun just 'being'.....We fed the sheep, chased the chickens, stroked the horses, read and collected wood....fab! The location is beautiful with a great cycle path - the Manifold Way. Word of warning........take plenty of food as not all the local pubs serve food in the evenings as it's such a chilled out place! No complaints though as its all part of the experience.. Thank you both and see you again next year!!

My wife and I had a wonderful 2 night break in Doris. The hut is very comfortable in a wonderfully quiet and scenic location. Bern was a great host and we enjoyed the recommended walk from Lowes Farm. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away from it all.

Wat een geweldig verblijf in een van de Shepherds Huts in Lowes Farm. De locatie is fantastisch, met een prachtig uitzicht over de Manifold Valley (ook vermeld de miniatuur schaap in het volgende veld)! Bern en Nichola waren fantastische gastheren en bood veel goede aanbevelingen voor het nabijgelegen gebied. De accommodatie zelf is zeer goed ingericht en biedt een gezellige nachtrust ondanks de natte en regenachtige omstandigheden. Hartelijk dank voor een geweldig verblijf!

We had a lovely weekend in the shepherds hut. It had everything we could need - great facilities, a lovely fire, beautiful scenery. Bern and Nic were really helpful and friendly hosts, too. I'd definitely recommend the experience.

Absolutely beautiful converted shepherd's hut with lovely hosts. Nice and secluded with all the amenities you'd need. Will definitely be staying again!

Beautiful location, clean, tidy and friendly hosts. 2 local pubs near by for food (15 minutes walk). Would stay again

Lovely surroundings, beautiful dinky cottage just the right amount of space for a couple very friendly host, not disturbed had a great stay thank you really recommend

Nice little place for our visit to Alton towers. Little bit small but still cosy.

Great location to spend the weekend visiting the Peak District. Phillipa was very nice and friendly, and although the accommodation was quite tiny it had just what we needed. The area is very beautiful and quite, perfect for a relaxing weekend combined with proper mountain biking in the area. It is a shame the weather wasn´t nicer, we wouldn´ve spent more time at the lovely garden.

We've just got back from a relaxing stay at The Piggery for 2 nights. The hosts and stay was more than we could have asked for. Situated in a picturesque farm The Piggery may seem like it's in the middle of nowhere being very peaceful and relaxing but shops, pubs, restaurants and things to do are either walkable or not a long drive away! We started off with a day at Alton Towers which ended at an amazing Indian restaurant called Thornbury Hall. Our second day was taken up by a beautiful walk on the peaks, one we found in the walking booked provided, The Roches. Again we went out for dinner, this time at a great Italian in Leek called The Rapoli. Not only is it a great location but the interior and what is provided is also great. The Piggery is very cosy, great use of space and all 2 people require for a relaxing stay. Overall a great stay and we both highly recommend it. Thank you both xx

Great host. Great location. The piggery is really small but cosy and the bed is soooo comfy! We went to a pub around the corner for dinner and the food was great. Perfect for a stay after a busy day at alton towers! Thank you again!

Beautiful property, great location and very welcoming hosts! We would definitely stay again.

Amarinder is a nice and hospitable person. The property is located nearby the train station, very convenient, and many rooms with big bed. But the house seems to be too new, there was some strong smell that all new houses will have. The boiler got some problem, no hot water; one room has no bulb, no cooking stuff... It is just a new house, everything could be improved even better.

My husband and I stayed for one night and we couldn't of asked for a more perfect experience. The hut itself was gorgeous, with a real feeling of luxury in the shower, the heated towel rail, the huge comfortable bed, and with a kitchen kitted out with everything to cook anything you might want to eat. The luxury was only enhanced by the seclusion, and the view of three counties from every wood framed window. A post walk drink on the decking while watching the breeze in the old oaks was a particular highlight. The location is ideal, you really do feel you're away from the rest of the world, but within easy walking distance along a beautiful stretch of river is a great pub, with a varied menu that's also tasty when it arrives. Even closer is the Brewery - open 10-4pm for tasting every day - and although we were tempted to stop at the fishing lake to catch-your-own trout for dinner we didn't manage it, this time anyway. Walking can be extended in almost every direction, and be as easy or as challenging as you like. Lud's Church was a unexpected, and fun, find for us in the nearby woods. Emma, our host, was what really made the whole weekend ideal. Emails in the week before were answered immediately, everything was done to accommodate us, and all those "little" touches that make a host really stand out were there. We would love to return here and fully recommend it to anyone wanting a hassle-free stay in an elegantly designed space, while surrounded by the beauty of the Peak National Park.

Sally and Andy were fantastic hosts. The yurt was really was warm and comfortable with a log burner that kept it cosy. The facilities were above standard with some lovely touches, like toiletries in the toilet and shower room, and complimentary biscuits in the yurt. Our 2 year old really enjoyed our stay, especially meeting the animals. We all slept very comfortably. The gas hob positioned in a small outdoor tent was ingenious, meaning we could still cook despite the rain.

A perfect getaway in a spacious, well-equipped yurt surrounded by countryside. It had everything we needed for a chilled weekend in the Peaks - followed by a trip to Alton Towers (8 minute drive) after we checked out on the Sunday. The yurt was immaculate and the hosts were as welcoming and helpful as you could hope for... freshly laid eggs for breakfast and real coffee were a great touch! Thank you! Will definitely be back again.

An amazing place for a romantic getaway. The photos do not do this justice and although we were not prepared for a camping trip we needn't have worried because the Yurt had everything we needed and more. Plates, cooking equipment, cutlery, torch, bedding, toiletries, fire pit, gas BBQ, table and chairs, log burner, it simply had it all. Beautiful location and great facilities which were new and clean. Despite the rural location to our surprise the shower was hot and powerful. A real find in the countryside and close to Alton Towers. We will definitely be staying again. Thanks

What a beautiful amazing place!! Lovely yurt with everything you need in a beautiful setting. Was so relaxed didn't want to leave!

We really enjoyed our time at the Yurt. It's in a lovely location, and has all of the excellent facilities you could ever need. We didn't think we'd need the log burning stove in August, but it was a little chilly on a night time and as soon as we lit it, the whole Yurt was warm and cosy. Exceeded all of our expectations and we hope to return sometime in the future!

What I can say it couldn't have been more perfect and it exceeded all of my expectations. If you want a secluded break in the wilderness with luxury facilties and an air of romanticism then look no further! Great for rambling, stunning scenery and plenty of country pubs and cafes within a short drive. Complete escapism and even though we had torrential rain one evening we had a toasty log burner and fairy lights and couldn't have been happier.

Fabulous place with excellent facilities. Would definitely go back again. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Quiet, friendly site with lots of privacy. We stayed in the yurt which was spotless! A few steps took us to our own toilet and a shared shower with a neighbouring hut (hidden behind some bushes) both were very clean. The yurt has loads of space both in and out, and the gas BBQ and fire pit are perfect for outdoor eating. The little log burner looked lovely, but due to warm weather we didn't use it. The yurt gets very warm in the day, but a fantastic cool box supplied keeps wine and beer ice cold (and milk and food). One note, the road to the site is narrow and bumpy, take care if you have a low suspension car. If you are a light sleeper ear plugs may help, the resident owls are very vocal, but lovely companions.

This is such a lovely house to stay in, Jo and her family were so welcoming and friendly and couldn't have done more to help. This is an ideal place to stay for Alton Towers too! Would recommend!

Such a lovely home from home. Spacious inside and out! In a lovely setting too. Plenty for the children to do - table tennis especially! Would highly recommend!

We had a great time here in Alton. A quiet location, but very close to Alton Towers, Peak Wildlife Park etc. The property has lots of space and is well equipped. We found it light and airy, clean, and welcoming. The conservatory had children's toys in which our grand-daughters (3 & 4) took to immediately. There were 4 adults and the 2 children and we were never under each others feet! Separate lounge, dining room, large breakfast room / kitchen and conservatory. Parking easily for 3 cars. Jo, the owner, lives close by and was attentive to our needs / questions concerning both the house and the local attractions, places to eat etc. Highly recommended.

There were 3 adults and a 2 year old in our group and this lovely, clean house had more than ample room for us all with a fantastic, spacious garden and space for parking. Definitely child friendly with child's facilities and toys too. Jo was there to greet us on arrival and could not have been more helpful. Location is beautiful and is great for Alton Towers which was our main reason for the stay. Maybe a 15 minute drive including traffic. Would definitely recommend over and over again.

We had a great three night stay here a few days ago. We were going to Alton Towers with three teenagers and had found Jo's Place. The house is so homely and cosy and everything you could need is provided. The table tennis, snooker and fussball table were much enjoyed too. It's a 5 minute drive to Alton Towers and there are supermarkets etc 5 miles away in Cheadle. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Jo

The cottage is just as described, very comfortable and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the Peak District. Caroline was a great host who catered to our needs and Val was lovely and helpful. We hope to come back and stay again, there's so much more we want to do!

The cottage is a little gem , everything as described or better. The hot tub was great even in November. Thank you for a great weekend we will be back.

We spent our Easter break at Caroline's cottage. The cottage is really comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The both the bedroom and the kitchen/living area are large, kitchen fully equipped with high quality amenities and the bathroom modern and stylish. All the rooms have excellent heating and the wood burning stove is a plus, so makes a great stay even in cold weather. The location is perfect, in a quiet scenic small village within easy drives to great walking trails and historic houses like Cathsworth house. Caroline and Paul were warm and welcoming, but also discreet and respectful of our privacy. They even left us an Easter gift, which was really sweet. Highly recommended and would love to visit again.

Wow, quelle trouvaille! Une belle annexe dans un cadre magnifique! Propre, spacieux et tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour notre court séjour, un Airbnb parfait. Je ne pourrais pas le recommander assez! Je vous remercie!

Had a lovely break in your beautiful cottage. Cottage was perfect just a shame the weather was not on our side but this did not put a damper on our holiday. Just stopped us using the hot tub. Loved how quiet the village is and how friendly and welcoming the pub is too. We will defiantly be booking again the next time we are coming up to the Peak District as we found the cottage is in an ideal location to visit the area. Many thanks Jenna and Martin

Great little place...beautiful village and easy access to the peak district. Hot tub is a great bonus. Would definetly stay again

Wonderful stay - Caroline is a very kind host. Her home is in a gorgeous setting in sleepy Parwichm. The garden and hot tub are fantastic on a sunny day. Would come again.

Eveything you need for a relaxing, enjoyable stay

Once again a great stay. Packet of Haribo always a pleasant surprise.

Nice and friendly owners, however the room was very basic and the bathroom requires some work. But great as somewhere to get your head down.

Decent place to to stay and a decent host. Thank you.

Another great stay. Nice one Vaughan.

Good value and host was very helpful

Enjoyed my stay, clean, warm and secure accommodation. Very amicable hosts always willing to lend some advice and part with useful information.

Accommodating host (work and arrival time not in sync, but host sorted it), comfy bed, nice house, nice stay.

Linda was very accommodating to my requests and very helpfully picked me up & dropped me off. The room was small but perfect for my trip, everything needed for a short comfortable stay.

This was my first time ever using air B&B, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Not only was my expectation greatly exceeded, with nice and clean and comfortable place to stay without breaking the bank, but the hostess Linda was friendly and acomadating. picking me up from the rail station and offering to share some of her food with me. Also really enjoyed talking about travel experiances. Linda has some pretty cool stories and photos of her travels through asia. Thanks again for a great stay Linda!

Linda was very friendly and accommodating, fed me and picked me up from Stoke station. A great host!

Linda is a great host, very friendly and helpful. Thank you

This is a very comfortable house with a very helpful host. I was in Stoke for a week for work, and the house was very convenient, and the bed very comfortable. Also, I needed a cab to work each day and every time it came within 5 minutes, so clearly the house is in a good location. 10/10 recommend this house.

Great host. I love to stay with Linda

Highly recommended, brilliant host and lovely house, nothing was a hassle, very good night sleep before a job interview.

Osbourne fue un gran anfitrión! Habitación estaba muy limpio y ordenado, con una cama cómoda. Yo estaría feliz de quedarse whendver estoy en la zona y muy recomendable.

Ce fut une belle expérience. Osbourne a été si compréhensif donnée je devais ajuster mes réservations à plusieurs reprises, plus eu d'autres demandes ....

Osbourne était un très agréable et chaleureux des hôtes. A notre arrivée, il nous a conduit directement au supermarché, car nous avions déjà pas le temps. Cela nous a aidé. Puisque nous avons seulement dormi deux nuits dans cette chambre et pendant la journée étaient également sur la route, on n'a pas remarqué tant d'autres choses. Cependant, il était un agréable séjour à Osbourne et j'y rendormir. Dans la ville de Birmingham, mais il faut du temps :)

Je suis arrivé très tard après un long trajet et la gestion de se perdre à trouver la maison de Osbourne. Bien que je fusse plus tard que prévu, Osbourne m'a fait entrer et m'a montré la chambre. Je suis très reconnaissant pour lui de me laisser rester et briser mon voyage sinon je l'aurais été si fatigué.

I regularly stay at Osbourne's for work. He is a great host. The house is simple but comfortable and is very good value. I would recommend to everyone :-)

Osbourne is a real gentleman and I was made to feel very welcome in his home. His room was comfortable and served it's purpose for me while I was passing through Birmingham. A cost effective and comfortable stay. Thanks Osbourne

Everything was fine. We had a nice and quiet time at his place. House is tidy and clean. We recommend it!

Il était un peu tard quand nous sommes arrivés mais il était agréable et sympathique.

We had a wonderful stay at Wills Barn. The little village of Butterton is off the beaten track and the barn has the most beautiful views in all directions. Our children loved the bunk beds with the curtains and we really enjoyed the log burner and fire pit in the evenings. The little outside seating area is a real sun-trap and we spent a lot of time there, having BBQ's, playing cards or just enjoying the peace and quiet! Jason and Michelle (and Jason's mum) were all very helpful and supplied us with extra logs. We have arrived home feeling chilled out and refreshed. We only wish we'd booked a longer stay!

A lovely, economical barn to stay in. The location was beautiful, check was easy and we had a great stay.

Will's Barn was a great place to stay for a short trip to the Peak District. It was very clean and well maintained, and set in a beautiful location. Only criticisms would be it is slightly cramped for 6 guests, and it's difficult to cater for 6 people with the wood fire stove provided. Otherwise very good.

Excel·lent lloc per explorar. Totalment fora dels camins i ens va encantar.

If you are looking for a quintessential but affordable British countryside getaway this is the one... Beautiful countryside views, a cozy charming nearby town to walk to and grab a pint and a gorgeous wee sheep filled hike in the other direction. Jason and Michelle were very organized, easy to communicate with and the place was spotless inside. We loved the campfire and wood stove, and the friendliness of everyone in the village. Would totally recommend (actually we already have recommended it to friends!)

Lovely barn in a scenic and quiet location. Just as described. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the place was a great base to explore the area. Maybe a little bit cold in the winter, so make sure you have enough firewood.

We needed a budget/ large family accommodation for our holiday to Alton Towers and Will's Barn fit the bill being large enough for us and only 20 minutes from the amusement park. Bit closer to glamping as bed mattresses/ pull out sofa mattress weren't of the highest comfort. But all other amenities and cleanliness made it a great choice for our needs. The electric meter proved a wee bit tricky one morning but our host happily came by and helped us right away- warm showers a go! Overall, a great budget choice with beautiful surrounding countryside.

This is a beautiful barn in a lovely location in the Peak District suitable for anyone with a sense of adventure wanting to stay somewhere a secluded and little bit different. Amenities are very basic here with just a log burner to cook on / heat your washing up water and the electricity is on an old-school style meter (that you have to remember to load up before going to bed). The hosts are very welcoming/accommodating and left a few bits to make our stay more enjoyable (biscuits, cheese, milk etc) but also give respect your privacy during you stay. A perfect spot if you have young kids since there are nearby fields to play/roam around in and there are many nearby attractions to visit in the day (we went to the water-park). We're already planning our next trip back!

Just come back from a few relaxing days away, lovely and peaceful location and the cottage has every amenity you need. Although it's quite near the camping field there was no noise, and the surroundings are amazing. We were able to get easily to Bakewell from where we were, but you are really near the main road to get to Buxton or any of the surrounding villages so the location is great, just wish the weather was as good as the accommodation. But we both said we can't wait to go back, for the cottage or camping :)

Lovely wee converted cottage in a quiet rural location. We used it as a base for a couple of days at Alton Towers, it was about a 20 minute drive to the park. Tom met us and showed round the place and he really went out of their way to make sure we had a relaxing stay. There was an issue with the wifi which was quickly sorted and whilst this isn't perfect as it's off a satellite feed it did work, but don't expect t be watching any films and connecting iPads galore as the reception is limited, but it didn't spoil us having a relaxing stay. Beds were super comfy and linen was fresh and clean. Bathroom is modern and clean and heating and hot water was fast acting. This is a rural location with great views and a relaxing cosy little spot to spend a couple of days but still with the mod cons you will need to keep you and the kids happy.

This is cottage is real gem - its easy to get places, great if you want to walk, climb or just enjoy the fabulous scenery. All the facilities are as described, its very comfortable and for people who need everything on one level it is perfect. If there is one tiny criticism it is that the internet is very temperamental and the TV is restricted - but the hosts are very honest about the WIFI, there are plenty of DVDs and the viewing wonderful (even in the fog!). Thank you for a lovely place to stay.

A lovely place to stay, beautiful scenery and lovely hosts. We will be staying again.

Cosy cottage with some amazing walks on your doorstep. Clean and well equipped with a great shower!

We had a great stay here, the cabin was very comfortable and the area is beautiful. We did the chrome hill hike nearby and loved it, seemed like there were endless trails in the area, could have stayed longer for sure! Clear communication with Jane and easy check in/check out.

Beautiful location, helpful hosts, cozy cottage.

The cottage is situated by the farm and camping barn, in a rural area with access to lots of walks. There is also a small campsite close by. Plenty of room for four people plus great shower in bathroom. Well equipped , so cooking easy to do if self catering. Local shops in Leek, 5 miles away. Plenty of games and videos if staying in. Patchy wifi but this was expected.

A lovely place to stay and well situated for exploring the Peak District. We have 4 boys under 6 and nothing was too much trouble for Paula. We even had her son setting up the DVD player. It felt like a home and that was important to us. Feeding the chickens and horses was also a highlight and there was no extra charge :)

A wonderful old cottage in a truly stunning part of England! The cottage lies at the end of a short lane, alongside which runs a creek. Coming from Brooklyn our 6-year old daughter was captivated by the scale and prettiness of it all, and didn't want to leave! If you value peace, quiet, seclusion and beauty, with all the local conveniences and amenities you could possibly need, this is the place. Paula is a magnificent host, extremely friendly and attentive. Can't recommend it enough, and will DEFINITELY be returning. Thanks, Paula!

Fabulous homely place, Paula was a wonderful host with great communication.

Great place to stay either for a long weekend or a week. I would not hesitate to recommend, great kitchen, superb for family meals. The location of the house is good and the area that it is in would keep the whole family entertained. Paula (the host) cannot do enough for you and she provides a lovely welcome pack, the fresh eggs from her chickens were superb.

Paula's cottage is a Peak District delight. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the cottage is very pretty and comfortable. Paula is a very attentive and accommodating host, we had a fabulous few days away! Highly recommend The Orchards.

This cottage is super cute with very comfortable beds! The place is nicely equipped and really quiet. The location is perfect for access to the Tissington Trail and the Peak District. Our host, Paula, could not have been more gracious. They even gave us their TV when the one in our cottage acted up and offered to let us stay an extra day when our children were under the weather on the last day. Thank you Paula for a wonderful stay!

We came for a family weekend and enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy rustic cottage

We strongly recommend Paula cottage : it is well located in the beautiful Peak District area with direct access to trails for hikers. The cottage is well decorated, fully furnished and very cosy. Paula and her husband are very welcoming and always present to make sure everything is fine.

From the moment you drive through the farm to the chalet you immediately feel relaxed and begin to unwind. The cows, the views, the peace and quiet take you back to gentler pace of life. We received a wonderful warm welcome from the owner and showed around the immaculate chalet. Well equipped with wifi as a huge bonus. We can't wait to stay again

The place was very beautiful, and Anya was very helpful. We arrived late but Anya stayed until everything was arranged. We would love to stay again if we are around her place.

Had a brilliant couple of days at foxglove. Accommodation clean and well equipped, lovely and spacious , great shower and plenty of hot water, towels provided! Lovely views and friendly people about. We went for a lovely walk to Congleton edge and you can see the chalet from the top! Enjoyed building a fire and sitting out on the pleasant weather playing cards, bbqing, playing guitar and drinking wine!! Communication with Anya was great and we had everything we needed. Teabags, sugar and milk was a bonus!

What a fantastic place! Luxurious home comforts in a really lovely spot. Heated, cosy, an en-suite master bedroom with great bed, well-equipped kitchen (oven!) and an outdoor fire pit and amazing hot shower! We were able to let the kids play/explore the field as the cows weren't grazing there and the views are gorgeous. Lovely host, great place.

First time with AirBnB and we loved it. The location is charming. The kids were excited with the 'mini-house' - and we were impressed with the facilities available. All in all a delightful stay and we wished we had been able to spend more time here.

Anya was excellent with regards to pre arrival and gave us very clear directions. The caravan was well appointed and clean.

Our host Anya was very welcoming and was there to meet us as we arrived. The caravan was spotless and was stocked with tea and coffee which is the perfect remedy to a long journey. The setting was tranquil and it was lovely to watch the sunset in the evening over the beautiful surrounding views. We would absolutely love to come again and thank Anya and her family for our lovely stay.

Anya was very welcoming. We were delayed but that wasn't any problem. We were touring the area on our motorcycles and there was a lot of rain that day. Lucky for us Anya turned on the heater in the chalet so we could dry all our gear and we even could park the bikes in the barn. The location of the chalet is great. It's near the Peak District and it has great panoramic views of the surrounding hills. A real quite and beautiful spot!

Had a wonderful stay here in Shirley. All that was provided by Nic and Bern brought me comfort, rest, peace and joy. I had planned to do some sightseeing around the area however I was fortunate to have the field to myself and stayed on site for the duration of my stay. It felt like a real treat, beautiful views, incredibly peaceful, and comfortable. Good location. The cleanliness was to a very high standard. I will definitely return.

If you have chance do stay here. It's a perfection within simplicity. Perfect for recharging your batteries in beautiful surroundings. Bern and Nick have really thought about it all - it's amazing.

Bern was a great host, greeting us on arrival and showing us around. The hut's in a picturesque location with beautiful rolling hillside views, with plenty of sheep and horses on site. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and idyllic place to spend the weekend.

Thank you so much for a beautiful stay! Shirley surpassed our expectations and we had a lovely, relaxing stay.

A quiet, secluded, romantic spot with great views. There are only two huts on site, so no crowds or noise. The accommodation was very comfortable, with pretty much everything you could need. There's a toilet, a wood burning stove and a gas cooker. Tea, coffee (both instant and ground!), sugar, utensils, towels, firewood etc are all provided. Easy access to most of the Peaks, with Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock 25 mins, and Castleton around 35 mins drive away. Plenty to see and do; we stayed for 2 nights, which was nowhere enough! Very friendly hosts - would definitely visit again!

Great location and very friendly hosts and locals. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed staying there for the weekend.

Bern and Nic are great hosts - quick communication and lovely and clean accommodation. The Shepards hut was warm and cosy and has everything you need, and the farm is a good starting point for walks and a quick drive to various other walks and activities in the Peaks. Would definitely recommend!

Christmas Cottage is a delightfully quirky 3 storey cottage. Charlotte is a fantastic host, from the cake and prosecco on arrival to the bathroom stocked with clean towels. We booked as a last minute emergency accommodation and loved our stay. Would recommend to anyone that doesn't mind going up and down stairs!

We have booked a lot of accommodation through Airbnb and rate Charlotte as one of the best hosts we have had. We received an email a week or so before our stay with lots of information about Christmas Cottage and recommended walks, places of interest, pubs, restaurants etc. This was very helpful and saved us a lot of time researching what we may like to do. The Cottage is set in a quiet little village, next to a really good pub serving decent food. We had everything we needed and had a comfortable stay, all was exactly as described by Charlotte, she even made us a lovely chocolate cake and left a bottle of prosecco for us, nice touch! We would not hesitate staying at Christmas Cottage again and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the Peak District.
