The location was perfect for a Christmas visit to Chatworth House. Great walks nearby for our dog and nice pub opposite. The cottage had been recently refurbished and to a very high standard/ So comfortable and like a home from home. Host was super friendly and helpful. The road is quite busy but you don't notice it inside so it was never an issue. Wifi was a bit temperamental as only seemed to allow one user at a time.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was lovely and cottage was warm and cosy. We did have a few problems like not being given the code for the key box. Overall though, we loved our stay and the cottage was mostly very clean. Thank you!

What can I say I stayed here with my two parents, two teenage kids and my little dog and the place suited us perfectly. The beds are really comfortable and the place as stunning decor which match the feel you’d expect in a cottage but with lots of nice modern features too. Daniel the host was super friendly and approachable. The Pub in the village was a stones throw away and served lovely food and drinks. We were a short distance from everywhere like Matlock, Bakewell ect which made it a great base. I’d recommend to families and couple but please note the stairs are very slim and steep.

We have absolutely loved our stay. The cottage was immaculately clean and well stocked. The owner lives next door and we has a pleasant chat with him this morning. We have visited many places using the cottage as base. It is close to Bakewell and Haddon Hall and many stunning locations. Thank you for the thoughtful touches such as milk in the fridge and tea and biccies. We will happily recommend and return. Thank you again :)

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. It had so much character! The fireplace was a standout, especially after coming back from a rainy day out. There’s some beautiful walks right on the doorstep and a country pub opposite, which is very convenient. The kitchen had milk, tea, coffee and biscuits all waiting for us on our arrival which was a lovely touch!
