Hen Party Guest

We have had such a wonderful stay at Jo’s beautiful house in Tideswell for my 50th birthday celebrations. The house was perfect for our party of 10 girls. Spotless, so well equipped and super comfy beds in every room. The house was very warm and cosy especially with the log burner and the Aga. A real gem of a place and will definitely return.

Absolutely loved our stay for 3x30th birthdays! We brought lots of our own cooking equipment being used to poorly equipped houses and we didn't need it - never stayed anywhere so well equipped! Beautiful house, great for socialising in a large group, very clean and homely and in a gorgeous location - would definitely recommend and Joanne was a lovely host, thanks again!

We were a group of 8 friends. Jo was really helpful with advice and suggestions and responded promptly to any questions we had . The outside seating area worked really well for us as it offered great protection from the wind. The house is only a short walk from the centre of Tideswell and well placed for walks to the Monsal Trail and the various Dales. It is also just 1 mile from the village of Litton and the excellent Red Lion pub. We really enjoyed our stay at Jo’s house . The layout and facilities are ideal for a group of friends or for families to stay .

This house is amazing!! I came with a big group of friends for my 30th birthday and this place had everything! So comfy and cosy with plenty of communal spaces to hang out in. Was most impressed with fully stocked kitchen that had everything you could think of for hosting a large group. Paul and Alexina were very friendly and quick to respond to any queries we had. Would definitely recommend staying here!
