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.

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

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.

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.

As holiday rents cottages go, this must rate at the very top. In all respects. Location / accessibility / cleanliness & amenities / comfort / security & a thoughtful, most generous “welcome pack.” A credit to the owners & thoroughly recommended. We shall return.

Lovely February break
We had a lovely stay; the cottage was clean and very welcoming. The weather was not the best so coming back after a wet walk it was great to light the woodburner and relax in the cosy lounge. We ate at the local pub and hotel, both were good. We would definitely like to return.

Perfect cottage in a perfect location
This was our second stay at Rowan Tree and once again it didn’t disappoint. The cottage is in a lovely location with easy access to the main road for trips further afield, while closer to home there are lovely walks right from the front door. The cottage is immaculately clean and stocked with everything you need. And Jane couldn’t be a better host. Highly recommended.
