  The cottage was a fabulous place to stay.

  There was a welcome pack on arrival (Coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, bread and milk), the owners exceeded our expectations. A wonderful touch and it was very appreciated. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and was furnished to a very high standard. Andrew, the owner, was very helpful and gave advice on the area. We always find showers in holiday cottages a bit of a let down compared to the one we have at home but the owners hadn’t skimped on their choice of shower, it certainly matched the one we have at home in both power and space. If you like to be connected to the internet you won’t be disappointed staying here. The TV is run through the internet therefore you have a good choice of channels and whilst we were there we never lost connection on our iPads/computer. This cottage is situated in a lovely area suitable for walkers (I was more than happy), golfers (my husband was spoilt for choice) and a treasure trove of places to visit. There is only one thing I would point out, if you have a problem getting up stairs this cottage may not be for you. This is an old building, beautifully refurbished, however the staircase is not to today’s requirement, it is a little steeper than modern staircases, there is nothing the owners could do to rectify this. Having said that I would highly recommend this cottage and will hopefully return.

  We had a lovely stay here.

  It really was like a home from home! Jane and John had thought of everything that could possibly be needed, even an ‘On no! I’ve forgotten my..’ kit which was a lovely touch. They were just next door if we had any issues (which we didn’t). There was tea, coffee, milk and fresh flowers to welcome us on arrival too. The property is very spacious with a lovely bright conservatory. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. One of our party had difficulty walking and we needed a shower that was easy to walk in to. This property was perfect as everything was on one level. We could park right outside the door. They could use either the wet room or the walk-in shower in the bathroom. It was a great base for visiting surrounding areas. We drove to Matlock, Bakewell, Lincoln, Chesterfield, Clumber Park, Welbeck Abbey and Sherwood Forest. Bolsover castle was about a 15 minute walk and there was a Morrisons about the same distance nearby. I would definitely come back again!

  A lovely getaway cottage in a quiet area off Snelston, we really enjoyed what Adelaide Cottage had to offer.

  A very private location, farm animal encounters and a lovely host. More than enough amenities, anything needed was supplied when asked for. The cottage was clean, nicely decorated and very cosy. Helen made sure we made the most of our stay and was so kind. We especially adored the pet cat and ducks. Pool is extremely well kept and we were given plenty of opportunities to use it during the week. Welcomed with complementary goods, the host mentioned she’s planning to introduce a welcome pack for the cottage. The area has nice walks but you must be devoted to walking about at least 40 minutes to reach nearest point of interest - the national trust’s Manor and the Norbury Church. With a car, you will make the most out of the area with quicker access to the surrounding villages and sites. I would recommend taking a bike as we found the nearby roads are perfect for a bike ride. Overall a fantastic and well needed stay, we truly wish the best for the owners on their future endeavours. Thankyou!

  We (family of 4 with 5 and 7 year olds) had a lovely stay at South Lodge Cottage.

  Communication with the hosts before and during the stay was excellent, and the homemade cake on arrival was delicious (although we didn't manage to finish it all!!). The cottage itself was very clean and was actually more spacious than we thought it would be. It was very well equipped with everything we needed for a three night stay. Smart TV was useful for catching up with Netflix with a glass of wine once the kids were in bed! Good central heating system which kept us nice and cosy, as well as on demand hot water. Great location too. We visted Dovedale, Derby, Sudbury Hall as well as going slightly further out towards Castleton. Unfortunately, we visited during Storm Dennis, so we couldn't make the most of the beautiful garden although our boys still had a run around out there and looked for fish in the pond. I imagine it would be fantastic on a warm summers day. I would highly recommend this cottage! Thank you for a lovely stay.

  A beautiful bungalow.

  A generous welcome food pack & a vase with flowers, which I love. Very comfortable bed/pillows & good bedding. Towels provided. Loads of wardrobe space & drawers. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Lg fridge/freezer, microwave. 2 ovens separate hob. So good to have utility room with washer & dryer. No probs re wi fi. pleasant conservatory. Table & chairs to sit outside & I believe a bbq. Parking right outside the door. Very helpful to unload suitcases. Easy to turn car round. A lg grassy area to exercise dogs at the bk of premises. You can also meet George the turkey & 2 ducks. Sadly a fox found the chickens. Jane & John are so friendly & helpful but not a bit intrusive. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
