Beautiful cottage in a quaint area.Exceptionally well maintained & our host Jane prepared for our arrival with refreshments & a delicious cake. There are many dog walking paths which we unfortunately didn’t have time to do. The Waterloo pub offers a very good tasty menu and it’s a few minutes walk!We would definitely go back fuel permitting? Thank you Jane & Richard we hope to enjoy your splendid cottage once more

We had a great stay in this part of the Peak District with plenty of walks and places to visit nearby. The house was very clean and had everything needed to self cater. The arrival pack including home made cake was a bonus. Can't recommend this house enough
The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and in a perfect location to explore the Peak District. Our host Jane had thought of everything including a welcome pack which included a lovely homemade cake, bottle of Prosecco, crisps, milk and biscuits. I would definitely love to stay here again.
Beautiful cosy cottage, lovely views, excellent location. The cottage had everything we needed, the welcome pack and cake is a lovely touch. We will definitely stay again
Quiet, peaceful location, cottage had everything we needed for a week away.
The cottage was exceptionally clean, spacious and in a very quiet, peaceful location.
Cottage was big enough for 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs for the week.
We all had a lovely time.
Lovely cosy cottage in picturesque village. Well equipped with welcome goodies for guests and pets from hostess Jane. Lovely enclosed gardens front and back, with two log burners no less, for colder months.
Village is quiet and peaceful with one pub (literally 2 mins walk) serving food.
Other amenities in nearby villages - great quiet retreat or base for exploring the Peaks in general.
First visit, and would have no hesitation booking again.
We absolutely loved our time here Jane goes above and beyond to make the cottage feel loke home a wonderful basket of goodies to eat and drink and afternoon tea set upto welcome you both fires were set to go the whole place was beautifully restored ,we will definitely returning.with cake
We loved our stay. The cottage was beautiful and so many lovely little extras. Great communication with the owners. The cottage was in an amazing location. Our kids, and dogs, loved every second. We can’t wait to go back.
We had a wonderful week staying at Rowan Tree Cottage with our two teenage daughters.This property is immaculately clean and Jane puts a lot of thought into her guests stay with the cottage being well stocked in basics and to top that off a wonderful welcome basket, fresh milk and a home baked cake The cottage is very well placed in a peaceful village but nothing is too far away. We had a great time exploring the Peak District and would definitely stay here again.Thank you so much X
Lovely cottage, everything thought of, well stocked and a few extras too. Really clean. Perfect location for walking and eating - the Waterloo pub just down the road was great too.

Thank you Julie for you kind words ,much appreciated.
We had a fantastic few days at the cottage. Jane had really thought of everything even down to a birthday cake! The cottage was lovely and clean and the log burners were a perfect addition to the cooler evenings. We also made the most of the local pub, which was a 2 minute walk.
