"We had a lovely stay in this very cute cottage, everything needed was provided and the welcome gift much appreciated."
The home is perfect for 4 people, clean and nicely decorated, comfy beds and fluffy white towels. Just a very short walk into Longnor where we enjoyed the fish and chips and the local pub. Little lane around the back to nip the dog out when needed. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Many thanks for your wonderful feedback. Your comments are really helpful for us and for other guests, really hope to welcome you back sometime soon. Regards, N&M Property Owner

"Well appointed cottage with everything you need."
The village has lots of amenities including a pub, serving good pub grub, fish and chip shop ( v good) general store and 2 cafes. Parking at the property is a bit tight so wouldn't suit a large suv. The road is surprisingly busy (lots of tractors). The scenery locally is stunning, especially the drive in from Crowdecote. I would definitely recommend as a base to explore the Peak district.
Thank you so much for your feedback and kind comments, it really means a lot to us. Glad you enjoyed the local fish and chips at the Manifold chip shop, that's always a hit with our kids! I imagine after the rather damp summer the local farmers are literally making hay while the sun shines at the moment, hence the tractor movements, it is something which comes hand in hand with the scenery. Thanks again for your review. Property Owner

"Absolutely brilliant stay."
Lovely cottage with literally everything you would need. Felt like a home from home. Finished to a high standard. Dogs loved it. Great little lane behind the house down towards the farm to walk them. Would highly recommend. We will be booking again soon
Thank you so much for your positive feedback, and glad you had a great stay at our cottage - really means a lot to us. Look forward to welcoming you back again to Bakehouse Croft in the future. Regards, N&M Property Owner
