Loved our week at Gem Cottage.
Loved our week at Gem Cottage. Cottage was smaller than I expected but actually fine for two people (&dog). It had everything we needed (apart from glass cleaner for the fire). It was a warm and cosy cottage but does have a flagstone floor so remember those slippers! Bed was lovely and comfy. Shower was rubbish but had a nice long bath with plenty of hot water. Biscuits and chocolates were a nice little touch thanks, as were the doggy treats!! Communication with the owners was also very good.Great location, with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on the doorstep. Gorgeous food with cosy ambiance. A visit to Haddon Hall is a must, especially their Christmas market. We were lucky to have snow while we were there. The scenery was amazing, which I’ll never forget.One thing to point out…… stairs are very steep, as are the front garden steps so be mindful before booking. Overall a great, well needed break. Thank you!!
We had a great stay at Gem cottage. It’s beautifully decorated throughout and has everything you might need. Perfect place to stay to explore the peaks
