"Such a wonderful, cosy cottage."
We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing, romantic Christmas break away. The cottage is exactly as listed. Loved the festive decorations and the personal touch on arrival. Far enough away for solitude, yet near enough for walks and short car journeys to nearby beauty spots. We are definitely putting this little gem on our return list. Thank you
Thank you for your amazing review, I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay and had a great Christmas. I look forward to having you back Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage, quiet and peaceful, remote but close enough to get to a lot of places to visit (Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth, etc)."
Was well equipped and comfortable. Good enclosed garden for the fog but also private enclosed grass area for him to play in. Loved our week there.

"The cottage was in a wonderful location!"
Very relaxing. I love to relax in the sunshine, a sun lounger would have been perfect for me. We made the mistake and put the address in goggle maps, it took us to Ashbourne, we should have gone with your written directions, our fault but we got to the cottage eventually. The milk was a god sent, I forgot to pick some up on the way, thank you. Alan enjoyed his Birthday get away. Thank you x

"Bijou but well equipped."
A hideaway but close to the town. Comfy beds. Ample amounts of hot water to soak in the lovely rolled top bath. A paddock at the side of the property for your dog. Our third time here

"Great little cottage for 2 and a dog."
It is well equipped with everything you would need. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Enclosed garden so doggo couldn't escape. Rural location with no neighbours. Short drive to the nearest village with a little shop, cafe, post office and pub. Great location for walking in the peaks. We loved it here and we will be visiting again next year as there were so many walks we didn't do.

Perfect cottage nicely situated on top of a hill just far enough far the neighbouring properties, lovely and warm nice log burner and well laid out, we both thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights there

"We have had a lovely break at School House Cottage."
The location was perfect, remote but easy access to towns and great Pubs that let dogs in. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The log burner was a real treat, not a necessity as the heating was very adequate, but lovely to sit in front of in the evenings. Hope to return again, Liz & Mick Jones & Pip

"Beautiful, cosy and compact cottage which had everything we needed for our stay."
The night sky, when clear, was amazing! The location was perfect, very peaceful and remote, yet not too far from towns such as Buxton and Leek. Would recommend visiting Tittesworth Reservoir and Rudyard Lake for circular walks with lovely views. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would book again.
