  We honestly cannot rate this cottage and the owners more.

  The cottage is a short distance from so much that even though we only stayed for 3 nights, we were able to explore so much and make some great family memories. The cottage itself was like a home a way from home. It was clean and comfy with so much space. The facilities that the owners provide were honestly above and beyond what you would expect from a holiday let. From kitchen appliances, cutlery, pots, pans and the necessities to everything you could need in a home to have a no worry stay. We holidayed with family so the two floors that included a separate bathroom on each is a dream to share the experience but have our own little bit of privacy. The decor was outstanding and so fresh but also charismatic, you can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought and love into it. There was so much space throughout for our family of 7 including a sweet, comfy little snug which the kids in particular adored. Claire was so accommodating and welcoming from the get go of our booking. The location was spot on too. Although close to a busy road with the pub opposite, it was so quiet and peaceful with everyone surrounding so polite. We are already talking about booking again and I have already recommended this place to a couple of friends and family members. Do not hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed! We cannot wait to come back for a longer stay next time in the very near future.

  Lovely property and excellent space for two families (we were 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 3 to 11). Very nicely furnished throughout and pleasant garden space out front - great for the kids to play. Really well equipped kitchen and lovely bathrooms. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into making the place as comfortable as possible. Loads to do in the local area and Wirksworth is a pretty little town only 5 minutes drive away that has a lovely French bistro and a small supermarket. The cottage is in a lovely spot which is very peaceful with a great short walk up to Harborough Rocks directly behind the cottage which has a panoramic view for miles across the surrounding countryside - a great spot for sundowners of an evening. Worth mentioning that there is a small factory just over the hill nearby that creates some light and low level noise at night but it didn’t bother us at all (and couldn’t be heard indoors). The beds were so comfortable we all slept brilliantly - kids included! All in, really lovely accommodation and highly recommend.

  We were impressed with the modernisation, decor and fittings, as well as the personal contact from the owner to ensure everything was how we wanted it when we arrived.

  Brassington is a great place to stay, with it's history and for walkers. The two top floor bedrooms have great views of the surrounding hills with their traces of former mine workings and rock outcrops. Overall, Brassington is an excellent base for exploring the Devonshire Dales and Peak District, remaining a relatively quiet and authentic former mining village. The odd lorry whizzing past the cottage before 9am was the only interruption to the overriding sense of calm. The hospitality provided in The Olde Gate Inn across the road is worth the cost of the stay alone - the quality of the food, in particular, is outstanding! Overall, we would rate our stay and the cottage 4.75 out of 5, with just a few practical points which bothered us a little (we're being 'picky' here and commenting in the hope our feedback will be useful) - a taller lamp in the lounge to provide a reading spot on one of the sofas, a shaving point in one of the bathrooms, a powerpoint near a mirror (for my wife's hairdryer). We would very happily return, however!

  Picture-perfect!

  My family and I enjoyed a wonderful few days staying in the Royal Oak Cottage located in the beautiful village of Brassington. We hired bikes at nearby Carsington Water and enjoyed a pleasant ride around the reservoir (bookings to be made online). We had a trip to Castleton and climbed Mam Tor followed by coffee and cake in one of the pretty tea rooms in the town. Matlock Bath and Bakewell are a short distance from Brassington making this the perfect location to explore the Peaks. The village has two pubs both serving excellent food. We had a particularly warm welcome in the Miners Arms and arranged a 'takeaway' from the main menu one evening to take back to the cottage, the food was so delicious that we went back to eat the following evening. The locals are delightful and we loved walking around the village admiring the pretty cottages and scenery, this truly was the most relaxing few days. The cottage is spotlessly clean, spacious and has everything that you need for a comfortable and cosy stay. We cannot wait to return!

  Unfortunately the description for this holiday cottage is not accurate. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped however it's location next to a factory is unfortunate and therefore I would not recommend this as a summer location. The advert indicated 'occasional noise from factory'. It would be more accurate to state 'occasional quiet'. The noise was constant Monday through Friday 24 hrs a day from what we could tell apart from a 30 min break around 6pm. They did take Friday evening off but were back working on Saturday. The advert shows a lovely garden space however, it was not peaceful to sit in and therefore we hardly used it. The internal glazing made the noise bearable inside but as mentioned this is a problem in summer when it is so hot you may need to leave windows open at night. This location could only be recommended for winter gatherings where you would not expect to sit outside or weekend only lets where you might accept only day time noise on the Saturday.
