What our customers say about their holidays

  The holiday cottage was lovely and set in beautiful surroundings.

  The garden and patio get sun and shade at different times so theres always somewhere cool or sunny to sit and enjoy meals al fresco. Exceptionally clean and full of all the little provisions usually not supplied in self-catering properties, which was a lovely added bonus (tin foil, washing up liquid, hand wash at every sink etc). The welcome gift of fresh milk, orange juice and chocolates was also a lovely extra touch. The owner Dave is also friendly and helpful, full of information about the local area and Susan is a lovely, helpful lady, who calls to check if everything is OK when you are settled. There are many shops within the local area for provisions. There's local woodland and a paddock for dog walking (there can be sheep in the field next door to the paddock though) and there is another woodland area and a local reservoir nearby for two other long, possible off-lead, walks within just a short road walk away. We have only holidayed in the UK since owning our first Spaniel over 8 years ago and I can honestly say this is one of the best properties we have had the pleasure of holidaying in. Thank you.

  This lovely well, appointed cottage is ideal for exploring the Peak District and Nottingham areas.

  The neighbours in the house next door (who live there permanently) were really nice and very friendly. The internet connection was not too good and worked a bit better if you were in the lounge. Could probably do with a booster. That said do you really need the internet when on holiday? The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped and quite quirky especially upstairs. There was a very nice garden with table and chairs to sit and just enjoy the sunshine or, to eat out. There were two fridges (one very useful for the drinks). There was no dishwasher but we managed without it for a week. There was a little welcome pack of - Orange Juice, Milk and a tin of chocolates which was a nice thought. Unlike a previous reviewer we did not see a busy dairy farm nor heavy farm machinery and can only assume they were at a different cottage. We all had a fabulous stay and would not hesitate to give it 5 stars or to return for a further stay.

  The cottage itself was lovely, lots of space and well provided with kitchen items.

  A kind welcome pack of milk, juice and chocolates was a lovely start to our holiday. The outlook across from the cottage is rural, with sheep grazing in the field, which our daughter loved to see each morning! Took us a while to locate the walk to the wood from the cottage, we have left instructions in the guest book as it is lovely once you find it! The main road, which is 100 yards from the cottage, is very busy and exiting the property by car is troublesome. The direct locality isn't particularly rural, but on the plus side there are plenty of options for shopping and take aways locally. There isn't a dishwasher, it would just make self catering for a larger group easier if one could be accommodated in the future. Overall the cottage is really comfortable and within half an hour of many interesting places. We used it as a base to visit Chatsworth, Carsington Water, Gulliver's Kingdom, Bakewell and many beautiful Peak District villages.

  Berry Barn is a delightful hide away.

  The cottage is cosie and warm and comfortable. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. It is a home from home. It was a real retreat for us to escape from a busy life. Everything was there that was needed. The owners were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had a lovely welcome pack of food, and when we were snowed in we were given extra milk. Nothing was too much trouble. We definitely hope to return as it is handy for visiting family in the area.we found some lovely beaches for bracing walks, enjoyable any time of the year.The village is small and also has an interesting old church. A car is a must as the it is about 4 or 5 miles to a town for shopping and amenities. We loved the peace and quiet it offers as a result of its location. Would highly recommend this holiday home.

  This property is beautiful.

  The cottage is in a lovely position and has the very feel of a home more than a rental cottage. The owners and caretaker are lovely people and very helpful. The welcome pack is a nice thought, we didn’t want for anything. We rented the cottage for a family gathering as we are all in different parts of the country and we had a great family weekend including our border collie who was right at home with the walks from the back door. My only suggestion is that a black dustbin is needed for general rubbish by the recycling facilities as I was worried about leaving a black bag outside with the cottage being in the countryside setting. This is the best cottage so far we have rented. Well done to everyone.
