What a wonderful, rustic cottage on a working farm( don't forget your wellies) The cottage I was told is over 200 years old and a farm that is originally 400 years old.. When you see in the lounge the depth of the stone widows you realise the age of this rustic place.. The cottage has a inner stone hall, leading to the back patio and the entrance to the inner hall of the cottage. The kitchen has every thing you will need on your break, the host provided tin foil , cling film, tea towels, cloths and pan scrubbers , salt and pepper, washing up liquid, hand soaps, kitchen roll,and a bottle of prosecco, beautiful luxury biscuits and a pint of milk, also provided was sugar, tea bags and coffee. It had a dishwasher and all the cleaning tools needed, hoover, brush etc, large fridge freezer also. The lounge has the largest corner sofa I have ever seen, am sure it would sit 6/8 comfortably on its very soft and comfortable leather .. The lounge has oak dressers and table Lots of storage, and various lighting options.. The cottage is centrally heated and also has oil filled radiators and convector fire I presume if needed.. It looked as though games provided but we did not explore this .The TV is large and has Netflix and YouTube availability. The large double bed room is beautifully inspired by dragon flies on the wallpaper and some wall hangings .loads of hanging space and drawers . The bed is an average double ..very comfy, I would say a medium mattress, which we love, pillows were lovely one firmer than other so perfect for us .The bedroom had a folding bed I presume for 5th person The bathroom has a powerful shower and heated rail, and we were provided with plenty of soft towels and toiletries . The other bed room was large and had 2 single beds but we did not use this room. Outside the cottage had 2 patios, at the front a beautiful hot tub, monitored daily by owner. The rear patio had table and chairs, the stone wall around the patio is low enough to see cows and alpacas. We did not have the alpaca experience as we have done before and sadly this week was not conducive to tracking in fields as we had awful wet weather daily. We did have a lovely walk around the parts of the farm we could and saw the amazing goats, alpacas, cows and crazy chickens and I think ducks and geese running around .. We went to many local restaurants and pubs in the area and had some lovely ( wet) days out in the surrounding area . We have told all our friends and family if want this experience this is a fabulous place to go.

Stunning cosy, clean, comfortable holiday home with everything you need for a relaxing break. The alpacas are beautiful and gentle, and the goats are the biggest I’ve ever seen. Lots of fabulous pubs and restaurants to choose. Ideal location for exploring. Will definitely be back!

Me, my partner and dog (Pie) spent a blissful 7 nights at Owslow Cottage and it was truly gorgeous. Based near Carsington water, the property was an ideal location to jump in the car to experience many of the Peak Districts must do walks (I.e,.High Tor, Dovedale) and must see villages (Matlock, Bakewell etc). The cottage is based on a working farm which makes it so unique. From Alpacas to baby cows, waking up on the farm was something we will miss back home! The hosts, Natalie and her husband, were lovely, attentive and respectful- as too were the workers on the farm. The property was cosy, stylish and had all needed amenities. Fantastic place to get away for a quiet trip, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the cutest animals!

Fab camper pitch with a hot tub! Amazing view across Carsington waters, working farm so cows and sheep on site. Private pitch with no other campers, hot tub is 40degrees. Toilet and shower on your own pitch. Natalie and her husband check your okay but leave you to enjoy your little slice of heaven in peace

Had a fantastic stay on the campervan pitch… one of the cleanest pitches and toilet blocks I’ve seen, amazing view, on a working farm so you can take in all the true nature of the British countryside. We also did an alpaca walk and Kate lead this, she was informative and friendly and has a real knack for speaking to groups… all the team are fantastic and we will most certainly be back 😊
