A comfortable bolt hole
The location is close to many white peak walks. The accommodation is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and two bathrooms with powerful showers. Jo, the owner welcomed on arrival and was incredibly helpful when we needed her advice. Will certainly look to visit again

Perfect Break
Had the most amazing 2 nights at Snipe Cottage, Jo was there the moment we arrived to show us around. Location was perfect, tucked away on a country lane with spectacular views. Cottage had everything you could need, games, books, everything for cooking a family meal, dishwasher and a washer dryer which came in really handy after muddy walks, there is a clothes airer and the underfloor heating certainly helped in drying boots off in the boot room! Jo herself was such a lovely host, she gave lots of time to my daughter who is horse obsessed, telling her about each of the horses on the livery and allowing her to feed a carrot or two! She also recommended the most amazing pet friendly pub which is no more than 10 minutes away, The Lazy Trout is a must visit, food was beautiful and they even had a pup menu! The cottage was central for lots of exploring, Bakewell is a nice town to walk around and Chee Dale Stepping Stones is a fantastic walk, however at the moment the riverbanks are deep mud for at least 2 miles of the walk, therefore only go if you have the right footwear...and maybe a change of clothes in the car, lots of people had fallen into the mud! Will definitely be back as this flying visit was not enough time in the most beautiful of places! Thank you again Jo!

This may be an old barn but it has been beautifully renovated and is a spacious, comfortable and cosy place to stay while in the Peak District. It is in a stunning location and Jo made us feel very welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay.

Amazing Cottage - Home from Home
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Just like home from home. Host was very welcoming and very helpful. Couldn’t fault the place, everything you needed for a perfect stay. A great central location to travel to areas around. We will definitely be back as we still have so much to see around the area.

We were looking for a remote location and this was perfect overlooking the moors
Wonderful views of the moors and very quiet. Accommodation was very neat and tidy and well equipped from the kitchen, utilities, local information, games, DVDs, books, puzzles etc. nice welcome touch of wine, cookies and milk. Joanne was very friendly and provided pre arrival contact information and directions and greeted us on arrival. Joanne and Clive were very helpful getting us out on departure due to the heavy snow (gritting and clearing the drive so we could drive out before the really heavy snow arrived!) We would have been happy to be snowed in but had to make our flight out of England.
