Peaceful Peaks Getaway
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.

Beautiful cottage in a great location
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.

Just fantastic!!
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.

Everything we needed, and more!
We have just enjoyed a short break in this lovely cottage, ideally situated to explore the beautiful Peak District. Thank you, Jane, for all your help before our arrival and the amazing attention to detail. The welcome hamper and treats for humans and dog were lovely! We will definitely be recommending the cottage to our friends, and hope to visit again one day.

Beautiful spot
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.

Absolutely cracking.
There was nothing that the proprietor had not thought about, from the moment we arrived there was absolutely everything we needed as a family. The kitchen facility was excellent, the house was warm, just popped the heating on for a short period, the log burning stoves did the rest. The living room was very comfortable and the Wi-Fi was excellent for the area. All in all I loved this cottage and the location. The pub served the best Guinness I’ve ever tasted. Brilliant highly recommend property. We will return.

A Wonderful Stay
We all had a brilliant time staying at this delightful cottage. Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. The arrival 'goodies' were much appreciated. We lit both the fires each day (took our own wood) which ensured the cottage was warm and cosy bearing in mind it was extremely cold outside. Cottage was a great base for discovering area and we used the walking guides for 3 lovely walks, one of which was from the doorstep. We ate in the local pub one evening and appreciated the 20% off voucher provided for us. Will definitely wish to return and highly recommend. Host was delightful and easy to correspond with.

Could not have asked for more!
We (2 couples and our dogs) have just returned from a 3 night stay in the cottage and cannot praise it highly enough. Rowan Tree Cottage was equipped with everything we could possibly need, from a welcome hamper to treats and useful bits for the dogs. The cottage is furnished and decorated to a really high standard and made our stay cosy and comfortable. We made the most of the gardens and outside seating areas and the dogs were spoilt rotten with plenty of room to run around and sunbathe. We loved Biggin and made a few visits to the local pub, the Waterloo Inn, where the landlord and locals were so welcoming and friendly. The Thursday night quiz is a must, as is the Saturday night entertainment. There are plenty of walks in the area including a trail down to the next village along, Hartington, where there are a couple more pubs, a handful of shops and a fish and chip van. Ahead of our visit Jane made sure we had all of the information we needed and was a life saver in helping us find a local taxi driver which would accept dogs to get us to and from the Peakender beer festival in Bakewell. We had such a lovely weekend and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Rowan Tree Cottage to anyone looking for a stay in the Peaks. We can't wait to plan our next visit!

Truly home from home in a perfect location
We had a lovely 4 night stay in Rowan Tree Cottage. The cottage was so cosy and a truly a home from home with everything we could have wished for. The owner has given a lot of thought to the cottage and we were particularly impressed with the welcome tray and fresh flowers. Perfect location for plentiful walks from the door. There is a pub 200 yards from the door but we preferred to walk into Hartington to frequent the Devonshire Arms. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Beautiful homely cottage in a lovely setting.
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
