Undercroft had everything we needed for a simple break away. It was basic but comfortable, the sofas were a little small for us taller folk. But we slept well, enjoyed the garden when the weather allowed. Brilliant location, 15 minute drive from most places we wanted to visit, walks from the door and pub100 metres away!

This is a lovely old cottage full of character. Thousands could be spent on modernisation but that would take away some of the character and would likely Renee the cottage outside our price range. Instead we enjoyed every single thing about it. Undercroft is the best equipped self catering we have ever stayed in. The owner has thought of everythingRead more and provided it. The beds and bedding were very comfortable, everything functioned as it should, the garden is a gem of a secluded country haven on different levels with 2 sets of outdoor furniture, and a lovely summer house and beautiful flowering shrubs. A short walk of less than 1 minute leads to the Bulls Head - a very popular and lovely old country pub serving lovely food of restaurant standard at very reasonable prices and not boring pub grub. The frontage of the pub is a mass of colourful flowering baskets and planters. The owner provided tea, coffee, milk and a lovely big box of delicious biscuits which disappeared rapidly. There is small table and chair set in the kitchen and a full size dining table in the living room. The folder of local attractions leaflets and the black book of useful information were the best we have seen. An additional local booklet with great walks around Foolow was also provided. Recycling and other instructions were very clear and detailed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we were sad to leave this lovely peaceful village and are considering coming back next year to the same cottage Hide

A lovely cosy cottage, well equipped, lovely comfy beds. Super garden. The Bull's Head pub just down the road is a must for good food. The location is perfect for visiting attractions for example- Eyam, Bakewell, Buxton, Chatsworth House and many more places of interest. I would recommend this property.

This cottage needs a thorough deep clean. There was black mould on the windows, the floor in the bathroom needs replacing, the kitchen sink plughole is rusty and the shower cubicle in the ensuite has black mould around the base. All of these could be rectified by cleaning. In addition, towels and bedding were of a poor standard. On a positive Read morenote, the house was well equipped and is in a great location for exploring the Peak District Hide

Thank you Ruth for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage on the occasion of a 60th Birthday; the balloons and banners on the door meant our weekend started the moment we pulled up outside, the flowers and biscuits and milk were such a lovely touch. Ruth you have thought of everything, this beautiful cottage wants for nothing, truly home froRead morem home, the very comfortable beds were very welcome at the end of our very busy shopping/eating days out.

The cottage was as described in the advert. Owner was welcoming leaving a packet of biscuits, milk & alcohol on our arrival! Clean towels & a flannel provided. Received timely useful instructions prior to our arrival, & prior to our departure! I would definitely use again, & recommend to other potential customers!

This cottage is a very convenient place for visiting the Peak District and exploring the surrounding area. Your little black book was very helpful and we found lots of good places to eat from recommendations in it. All in all it has been a very enjoyable week for us. Thank you.
