We really enjoyed our stay in Monyash. The cottage is nicely positioned; very near the pub and cafe (always important!) but also with plenty of fantastic walking right from the doorstep. The cottage itself was well provisioned with some nice touches and we got plenty of use out of the fire which certainly made it nice and cosy even with this week's snow. We were also very grateful for the ready supply of logs! If you're looking for a cosy cottage in a great location would definitely recommend.

As soon as I had spoken to the owner on the phone, I knew it would be a lovely stay. Chris was so pleasant and helpful. We stayed over Christmas and the cottage was beautifully decorated with a tree, decorations, crackers, Prosecco etc, for us - perfect!

The cottage had a log burner, (logs included) and everything you could possibly want for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen was new and well equipped and the bathroom/shower clean, new, relaxing and lots of hot water. There is also a lovely garden at the back, which would have more possibilities in the summer!

We loved the village - beautiful stone houses and a fantastic local pub, with friendly landlord/lady and other guests. Great beer - we liked the Belgian Blue! We didn't have time to eat there, but it looked good. It is a perfect location for visiting Buxton, Bakewell, Dovedale etc. So many lovely places to go to - more than we had time for.

It was great, having the cottage to come back to each evening. We would definitely like to come back in the summer. Derbyshire is a lovely place.

Lovely cottage in a great location for the Peak District, between Bakewell and Buxton.
Everything about our stay was a pleasure, from the ease of booking on the website, directions to the property, and pick up of keys. We were delighted to find a bottle of prosecco and a bunch of flowers waiting for us on arrival.
The cottage was very cosy with it's log fire, comfortable bed with good linen, and nice touches such as the little bottles of shampoo and lotions in the bathroom.
We did lots of walking, together with visits to nearby Buxton and Bakewell, and of course made sure we stopped off at a nice tearoom or two! Recommended are the Lavender Tearoom in Bakewell, and No 6 The Square in Buxton.
The Bulls Head in the village is well worth a visit both for the food and the real ales, about 3 minutes walk from the cottage.
We would unhesitatingly recommend Avonlea Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet cosy retreat in the Peaks.

A small but very comfortable cottage, ideal for two. Nicely furnished, well equipped and immaculately clean. Nice rear garden with good views.
We enjoyed the local pub which was a few minutes walk away. Good wholesome pub grub and local ales.
Monyash is within easy reach of plenty of good places to visit and there are lots of great walks in the area.
