Lane View House - Best Airbnb in the Peaks!

Wow what a beautiful place! Photos don’t do it justice - location is outstanding! The views from all the windows are honestly breathtaking! We will be coming back again!! I heard a woodpecker in the garden and saw all sorts of birds of pray out the kitchen windows! Such a lovely place. It also must have been recently renovated because the kitchen and living room are absolutely amazing!! Much better than the photos! The loft room is absolutely ginormous, which isn’t shown in the photos at all- not sure why because it’s the best room in the house in my opinion. Beds super comfy, black out blinds in every room which is an attention to detail that I really appreciate! There’s some gorgeous little lambs in the field opposite! The walk up Eccles Pike was just incredible at sunset too. Chinley Churn only 5 mins away so it’s actually almost inside the national park. Garden was full of tulips, so much more beautiful than the photos show!! Host very responsive - couldn’t ask for more

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. You will have the best of both works here. We travelled to big cities every day with the excellent train service which was literally steps away. We returned to the peaceful countryside and a a nice comfy bed at the end of the day. We will definitely book this place again!
