The cottage is tucked away about half an hours walk from Hartington, although it is near a shepherds hut and the owner's farm it is really quiet and peaceful. Everything you need for self catering is provided and all the beds are really comfy. Beautiful walks on your doorstep.

Cruck Cottage ticks all the right boxes for location. Isolated, stunning setting. Lovely terrace / courtyard in which to enjoy breakfast or evening sundowner. Perfect for a couple - possibly a bit too small for 4 adults.

The most beautuful setting to relax and enjoy the countryside and peace & quiet. The cottage was lovely and cosy with comfy beds and everything you need for a short break. The walks from the doorstep were perfect so no need to use the car, however Hartington was a lovely village for a trip out. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous little cottage , beautiful area , was so peaceful, stunning views from the back garden, plenty of room for two people, could be a bit tight for four , our only gripe was that the dustbin was totally full when we arrived, so we struggled to get our rubbish in at the end of the week . Perfect place to sit and watch a sunset .

Very basic cottage, and overpriced for what is offered. We found it really cold there during our stay as little heating was provided. We needed thermals, hats and gillets on inside to keep warm. Tepid water for washing and signs telling users to not switch the immersion on. Bedding was clean, nice views, lovely location but would not stop again
