Fantastic peaceful property in great surroundings
We had a weekend break in May 2025.The property is immaculate both inside and out and very well maintained. Enclosed garden presented really well.The property is surrounded by large fields, providing a peaceful setting.Would definitely stay again.My only (very small negative) is the property doesn't allow dogs upstairs, which is fine - but there is no physical barrier (door or gate) to stop a dog wandering upstairs, especially at night time.

WHAT A FIND!
Whatever I say will not be good enough. We absolutely loved everything about this place. The beds and pillows are so comfy and the linen was impeccable. Its location is sublime. If you like being in the middle of nowhere without a phone signal, superb scenery and walks? then this is the place. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. Finished to a high standard and impeccably clean you will want for nothing, other than maybe some mirrors upstairs and champagne flutes to continually toast the surrounding countryside.

Secluded cottage next to the Dove
Really lovely cottage, set in complete seclusion down a long winding road in Thorpe. Wonderfully presented and well placed for walks and days out etc in the south peaks and Staffordshire. There is a cluster fly problem which is a bit troublesome as we couldn’t open the kitchen window. I am not sure if this was seasonal. Only a small (but annoying) matter though in the grand scheme of things as the cottage is otherwise lovely.

Rural idyllic cottage
A lovely cottage which is off the beaten track, yet close enough to drive to restaurants/ tourist attractions. Well equipped and comfortable

Rural quiet idyll
Really well appointed and secluded property with excellent decoration and lots of nice touches for a well stocked kitchen.
It was beautifully quiet with a secure garden for our dog.
There were also some nice walks out of the door too- we all really enjoyed it and hope to come again in the future.
