    Two things only which are not even remotely the fault of the owner-the road to the front of the property is used by large haulage wagons so some road noise is inevitable. Plus care is needed on driving into the property -it’s possible to ground a low sitting car on going through the entrance

    Well equipped,renovated and cleaned to a very high standard. Excellent instructions and introductions from the owner.

    The main road has constant traffic noise. Only noticeable at night. The double glazing is extremely effective, but if you like an open window it’s intrusive if you’re not used to it.

    Immaculate throughout, really as new. On 3 levels with the kitchen at the bottom and the back door, lounge and a bathroom with walk in shower, sink and toilet, and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom (shower over bath) on the top floor. Kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. Dan was very organised, supplying us with all the information we needed for the house, the village and surrounding area.

    Busy road outside lots of big lorries going by at all times of day and night, not great when you are a light sleeper.

    Lovely quirky cottage, clean, tidy, well equipped. Great walks straight from the doorstep, lovely pub across the road.

    No issues with the cottage, location etc. Cottage is on a very busy main road, so a little noisy.

    The only minor drawback of this property is its location on a busy main road.

    Exceptionally well presented spacious property. Very comfy sofas, beautiful kitchen and comfortable beds. Bathrooms on two levels were newly fitted and spotless.

    Maybe the noise from the traffic but can’t be helped

    Lovely cottage, had everything you could need , was warm and cosy , the Christmas tree was a nice touch , we went to the toll bar fish and chip shop first night, one of the best chip shops we been to, was given a free mulled wine and mince pie while waiting. We did a circular walk into eyam , weather was very wet and windy while we were there so we were quite muddy . Stopped at the miners arms in eyam for lunch very friendly staff , we had a meal at the moon inn that night which is bang across from the cottage , food lovely very quiet for a Saturday evening .

    The only down side was that the blinds in one of the bedrooms were a little thin for the early morning sunshine and my friend woke up at dawn with the sun. But this didn't spoil our stay.

    Lovely location and a cosy space to relax in. With lovely attention to detail, such as the night lights on the landing so we could see where we were going at night.
