  : The property is a ground floor studio apartment on a working farm. It is spacious, spotlessly clean and had all mod cons. There were plenty of utensils crockery, etc. in the kitchen, with everything you'd expect in terms of hob, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, etc. (although no washing machine, which was absolutely no problem for us). The bathroom was spacious and clean, with a good-sized corner shower, and bath + hand towels supplied for each adult, along with an amenities kit for each person. The smart TV and FreeSat box were great and the WiFi was reliable and more than enough for our needs (we were able to watch Netflix on the smart TV with no issues at all). The double bed is wooden framed and relatively comfortable (although a little softer than we're used to, but absolutely fine). The hosts were friendly and helpful but not overbearing in the slightest - they just let us enjoy our stay. The farm is along quite a narrow road which I can imagine might be a little hairy in bad weather, but luckily it was dry and warm during our stay so there were no issues. The location is quiet and peaceful, but ideally situated as a base to sight-see in the area being very close to Buxton and Bakewell. During our stay of a few days we visited Mam Tor, Castleton and Peveril Castle, Ilam, Eyam as well as Buxton and Bakewell. All were within a short drive of the our base.
  : Nothing really apart from the slightly soft mattress on the bed, but this is just our preference to have a much firmer mattress. Other than that, I can't really think of anything else that was amiss.
