Peaceful long weekend away
We've been here before and enjoyed it so much we have returned and we're about to make our next booking. It is so peaceful here, the views are lovely (even with the fog!) The cottage is warm, cosy and comfortable. There is everything we needed and many things we didn't think about but appreciated having such as washing powder to use after our muddy walks. We'd definitely recommend Lud's Church as a walk, but get there early as the carpark is small and it is VERY popular. A big bonus for us is that it is dog and child friendly with and ENCLOSED garden and a lovely pond walk straight out the front door.

Great place to get away from it all
We set out to have a relaxing/restful week, which we achieved. The weather meant that staying in for some of the time was the best option and the cottage was comfortable. A car is a must here as the nearest village shop is a few miles away by busy road with no footpaths. With this in mind, a small piece of feedback would be to provide some provisions including bread with the welcome pack. Jo and Colin were great hosts and we would recommend a stay here. (Good news for owners of electric cars - they are having a charging point installed soon - so there will be no need to worry about where to charge after a long journey to get there).

Cottage with amazing views
The cottage is lovely, with great views and in a peaceful setting. We had a wonderful few days cycling, walking and visiting nearby attractions, such as Chatsworth and Bakewell. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return to explore the Peak District further.

Superb Cottage
We had a fabulous stay at Ridgehead. Warm welcome and despite a slight hiccup, which was soon remedied, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely little cottage with easy access to nearby towns and villages
My husband, todfler and I had a super time this week. The cottage is beautifully located with lovely views across the peaks. The owners were extremely accommodating and our toddler loved the horses!! We were extremely close to Buxton and Bakewell as well as having stunning walks on our doorstep. We would definitely recommend staying here for keen walkers who need a base. Thank you again - it was a fab holiday and we were thrilled with our accommodation!

Great cottage in a great location
Stayed for 10 nights in May, had a fabulous time. Everything was included for a great self catering stay. Very convenient location for spectacular walks and good pubs...(Pack Horse at Crowdecote is a must.) Would definitely recommend Curlew cottage and will try to stay there again later this year. Clive and Jo are very welcoming hosts but watch out for the 1 legged chicken!
