“Gorgeous lodge”
+The lodge was a lovely and cosy cottage with an amazing view! The kitchen had plenty of utilities and space, living room was cosy with a comfy sofa and log fire and television. The bedroom was very nicely furnished and a comfortable bed with plenty of pillows, radiators throughout worked very well although it wasn't too cold when we stayed. Bathroom was well furnished and had a great view. The hosts Helen and Martin were absolutely lovely, and so helpful! They were so friendly when we got there and left, gave us recommendations for the area and pointed out local walks. The drive in was bigger than a normal parking space width just as it's on a hill it feels a bit small. As long as you swing wide for the turn it's easy enough to get into, but if you had a particularly large car it might feel tight.

+The location and coziness inside.
−No where to leave our luggage. A bit too many plastic plants for my taste.

“Beautiful Location and a Great Stay”
+Walk around the back on arrival and check out the view when you arrive. The location is breathtaking. The house itself is small and extremely cosy, the log burner is like a sedative. For a couple wanting a cosy break, this is superb. The kitchen was perfect for two people and sat looking at the view through the window whilst eating breakfast was beautiful. The house is very old but newly furnished and lovely and warm considering the weather on our first day. The house was very clean, much to the delight of my partner. We really enjoyed our stay. I can recommend without hesitation. The owner was also lovely and very helpful pre arrival. Thank you very much.
−The steps to and from the bathroom are a little steep and tricky with a low ceiling. Not really a negative and did not detract from the enjoyment just something to be aware of if you have mobility issues.

“The perfect getaway character accommodation surrounded by the Derbyshire Dales.”
+It started with the first impression. The location is breathtaking. We wanted quiet and somewhat remote and The Lodge was perfect. It is nestled between the Derbyshire Dale with sheep bleating when you look out of the window and everything is green and the air is crystal clear. Then we met our host and she was a delight and she provided us with all the necessary local info we needed to plan our food shopping, our hikes, etc. We also met Max, their dog who was adorable and friendly. The Lodge is such a character building with a nice lounge, kitchen and a bedroom upstairs. The bathroom can be accessed via a rather low-frame door which was not an issue for us - we are not giants after all. Hot water is perfect, although we barely used it, because it was rather hot weather during our visit. There are a few easily accessible villages around and the locals are lovely and helpful. We went for a hike and got drenched, but at the local post office/shop/cafe, the lady made us a banging cup of tea. If you like a bit of an adrenalin rush, Buxton is close by where you can try Go Ape. Highly recommended.
−There was nothing that we did not like about our accommodation and stay. The place was perfect for us, Londoners, who wanted to get away from the noise and rush of a big city. We definitely will return.
