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.
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
The location is fantastic. A great location for visiting the Peaks. The property has everything you would need for a relaxing break. A very generous hamper and delicious cake were gratefully received. The crackers went down particularly well with some delicious cheese bought locally in Hartington. Everything had been thought of and it was lovely to receive a call from Jane shortly after our arrival, to check all was ok and pass on relevant information.
We loved our few days at Rowan Tree Cottage.
Spent three nights at Rowan cottage and had the most wonderful time. The cottage is lovely - clean, cosy and incredibly well equipped. It was very cold whilst we were staying but we were perfectly warm with the excellent central heating and two fabulous wood burners. We had dinner at the Waterloo Inn and then walked to Hartington the next day and then along the river to Dovedale on the third and loved it all. Jane was a fantastic host and incredibly kind and understanding when we were snowed in on our final day! I cannot recommend the cottage highly enough. 10/10.
The cottage was in a quiet rural location, only a few minutes from a public house serving food. The cottage was spotless with everything you might need provided. ie towels, cooking equipment etc. with great outside seating areas front and back. Really lovely walks on the doorstep and communication with the host was prompt and informative. The generous welcome pack and cake was a bonus thank you. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to anyone wanting peace and quiet on the doorstep yet only a short drive to main towns and Chatsworth
My partner and I have just returned from this beautiful cottage - it has everything you could possibly need and is in an idyllic spot, close to many walks and with a pub only 2 minutes walk away (there was also a 20% off voucher for this pub waiting for us in the cottage). The cottage was very clean and contained all the amenities you could want or need, with a fully loaded kitchen and 2 modern bathrooms. There is a front and back garden, beautifully tended and fully enclosed, so safe for pets. The woodburner was ready loaded for when we arrived and the host had left a welcome tray (including some treats for our dog), which is such a lovely thought. There was milk in the fridge too for that cup of tea after a long journey!
Jane is the perfect host, checking in with us after our arrival and giving plenty of tips on the area and things to do. We will have no hesitation in returning to this property in the future, it’s a little gem.
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.
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.

Lovely, cozy cottage in beautiful surroundings.Good correspondence from Jane the owner including a welcome phone call and homemade cake.
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.

We loved this property.
The cottage, was clean, comfortable and i have nothing bad to say about it. It suited us perfectly.
The cottage was easy to get to, close to great walks, a good pub and a fantastic restaurant.
The beds were also very comfortable which is always a good indication of a quality.
