Sheep Pen Cottage Reviews

Katherine
We had a lovely stay in April 2025. The cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped. Our children loved the games room and enjoyed playing football in the garden. The location was ideal for visiting other places in the Peak District and we enjoyed the walks from the door.
