What our customers say about their holidays

  Wonderful accommodation in perfect location for exploring surrounding area.

  Spacious grounds/accommodation set in a friendly housing estate. Information prior to arrival tells you everything you need to know and one of the lovely owners greeted us on arrival. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated. The conservatory is light and airy with heating and furniture, a lovely spot to have breakfast! It also has access to a paved area with outdoor seating. The laundry room has everything you could need with a huge washer and separate tumble dryer. The kitchen is home-from-home, everything you need to enjoy your stay - we had a chef with us and he was impressed with the facilities! The dining room is comfortable and cosy with a walk-through into the lounge with laminate flooring throughout. The furniture is comfortable and clean and there is a TV for entertainment. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable with clean and lovely smelling linen. If you are like us a pack far too many clothes then you'll be pleased to know there is loads of cupboard space! The bathrooms are modern, spotlessly clean and the showers are lovely with heated towel rails - there are more than enough big fluffy towels for everyone. Extras - fresh eggs, home-made scones, jam, clotted cream, teabags, salt/pepper. There is also a box in the laundry room with "things you might have forgotten" in - shampoo, razor, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, sewing kit etc. The owners have done everything to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible and we only saw them a couple of times so they didn't intrude on our time there. We woke up one morning to another bowl of fresh eggs on the doorstep - it's the little touches like this that make a wonderful holiday even more special.

  Suzanne contacted me before arrival which was thoughtful and gave me useful information about local areas.

  She also checked that everything was okay after we arrived. The welcome baskets for us and our two dogs included treats and towels for them, scones and jam for us as well as essentials to get us through the first days thank you Suzanne. The cottage is traditional and has reminders of it's past. The main bedroom had plenty of storage and a comfortable bed and pillows. Bright clean bathroom, kitchen had everything we needed. The lounge is small but okay for two adults and two small dogs to cosy up in on chilly days with a log burner. Small utility room useful for letting dogs dry off in after rinsing them with the hose outside. The 3 steps down into the garden from where you park the car are steep as others have mentioned but the handrail was helpful for me as I have arthritis in my hips. We did two off road safe walks which started across the road and to the right of the cottage just before the Indian restaurant. One way takes you to Whitworth Park and the other to Rowsley shopping village and The Grouse and Claret pub. A great location to drive to other areas and we enjoyed our time at Robin Cottage.

  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!

  I stayed at Robin Cottage for 7 nights, 31 August 2024.

  I was with my two dogs Vincent and Theo, and my friend Lynn. It is perfect for a stay in the Peak District, I walked my 2 dogs from a different starting place every day - the furthest I had to drive was a mere 15 miles. Suzannes directions for finding Robin Cottage were spot on - thank you! The two welcome baskets were top quality (one for humans, one for dogs), the milk/butter/eggs were especially appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and sitting at the dining table there's so much history to read on the cottage walls. The sitting room is so cosy - I was grateful that I had packed my dogs fleece throws to cover the beautiful fitted carpet - and their beds too, so that they settled well at night. The Welcome Book was full of fascinating facts on the history of Robin Cottage. Upstairs the two bedrooms had comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. I would love to stay at Robin Cottage in the future.

  An absolute home from home!

  We had a lovely warm welcome from Jane when we arrived giving us all the information that we needed for our stay. She let us know that she was just next door if we needed anything but that she would leave us alone to settle in and enjoy our break. We were so pleased to find homemade scones and plenty of other treats in the kitchen but even better was the bungalow itself. It's so homely and is so clean! We immediately felt relaxed which led to us having a really enjoyable stay. Both Jane and John spent time with our youngest son, letting him help with the chickens which made his year and means we must return to see them again! Jane and John are great hosts who have the balance just right of being on hand if you need them but also not imposing on you as guests there. We would recommend Cherry Fields and will certainly be back! Thanks
