Loved the location and a nice well presented cottage. We had a great time and loved watching the badgers come up to the cottage at dusk.

Excellent base for exploring Matlock Bath and the local area with great walks right from the doorstep. Shire Cottage is very comfortable with all the facilities you need for a little break away. Much more spacious than on the pictures! Our family of five had the loveliest time, and obviously seeing a real life badger on an evening was the ultimate highlight.

Very old feel to the cottage, which took a little while to get used to..but once I got the feel of it it was grand..fully furnished for almost everything you need for a quiet away from it all break.. not quite sure where this pub a mile away is..the nearest place, The Family Tree wasn't a pub and anyway isn't dog friendly..least I think it isn't.. local shops are also a drive away..but ydh it was handy if you were visiting local sights but I wasn't..Nice touch to have a few coffee and tea sachets handy. Warren the owner was very accommodating and just left me to it..but he did lend me some fishing equipment to borrow..all in all a very warm cottage well equipped with a pleasant view ..
