  The cottage had a well equipped kitchen including boiling water tap (although a kettle was also provided) and a very good shower room.

  Parking was just outside the cottage in their gated courtyard, which is situated near the owner’s farmhouse. The settee was very comfortable and I also enjoyed sitting in the “rocking chair”! No mobile signal but the Wi-Fi was good. Much enjoyed the rural view, seeing the cows being moved daily to the top field. The cottage was well placed for sightseeing and would be good for cycling or walking,. We went on the Peak Rail steam train trip from Rowsley to Matlock, on a wet day, and enjoyed Matlock Bath, Ashbourne, Ilam Park, Dovedale, and Bakewell. The relatively nearby pretty village of Winster was a daily visit, for newspapers, local bread, butter, milk and groceries (local shop and Post Office). Sainsbury’s (with petrol station) and other shops could be found at Matlock. The garden was small but very secure for our two small dogs, with a small lawn and paved patio with garden seats - and an outside light for nighttime “visits”. As I was on crutches I did find the steps were quite steep to the garden, with no handrail, but I did manage, with care, and this was of course mentioned in the property description. A very handy porch/boot room to the front of the property was convenient to dry off the dogs and to leave our wet coats, shoes, etc! There was also a washing machine, if required, and a very handy mop! We enjoyed our visit to the cottage and would recommend.

  On arrival at the location no obvious sign of Clover Cottage.

  Contacted owner via an Intercom system attached to farmhouse door. Owner apologised for non appearance said she would be home as soon as possible. Tried to describe where entrance to cottage was but signal kept breaking up and could not understand what she was saying. Spoke to a lady in the adjoining cheese factory who said she had never heard of Clover Cottage. Eventually found another person at cheese factory who directed me to the property. The entrance was off the farmyard but was not obvious that it was like photos on booking site. Entrance via a very unimpressive leanto to the back door. This led into a small kitchen with no window and then into the living room which was minimally furnished. The bathroom was off this room and was the best room in house with large walk-in shower,wash basin and toilet. The two bedrooms were uninspiring with large heavy furniture, one looking out to garden. The photos on the booking site gave the impression of a much more cosy and comfortable property which it was not. The cottage was described on the web site as "a stunning two bed roomed cottage" Not in my opinion. This short break was to give my wife a bit of a ' pick me up' after a recent stroke but because of what we found as described above we felt that we could not stay and we drove home.

  Super little cottage in a great location.

  We had a wonderful stay. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, A good sized bathroom with a lovely powerful shower. Plus, a super comfy bed. It was also good to be able to park right outside the property. Although, it's compact there is plenty of storage space upstairs. It was also spotlessly clean on arrival. It's situated in a great location to be able to enjoy all the wonderful industrial history (Unesco World Heritage Site which is right on the doorstep. However, if you choose, you can walk in the other direction for fantastic countryside walks with stunning scenery and views. Cromford station is only 15 mins walk away for trains to Derby and Nottingham. Or for simply travelling a few stops along the tracks and then walking back to the cottage along the Cromford Canal. All in all a great stay! We would definitely consider a return visit.

  Firstly the positives, great location with access to lots of what the Derbyshire Dales has to offer.

  The place was very clean and the bathrooms clean and modern. The living room area was nice and comfortable and having 2 pubs in the village gave us a nice choice. Secondly, the negatives, the kitchen is quite small and not great when you're trying to prepare a meal for 5 adults and it could really do with a bigger fridge. The corkscrew was broken, which we didn't realise until we tried to use it which put everyone into a panic as you can imagine. The ladies thought a hairdryer would have also been a nice touch. The biggest issue for us was the single bed mattresses. These are fine I imagine if they are being used by kids but for adults with older bones they weren't very comfortable. We did have a lovely stay though and would recommend the place if you only intend to have kids in the single beds and plan to eat out most evenings. Thanks
