What our customers say about their holidays

  A lovely cottage tastefully decorated with helpful owners.

  I need to say at the outset that our booking was probably not a typical one. Since the beginning of the first coronavirus lockdown my wife and I have sought out some of the most isolated holiday lets in south Derbyshire to spend time with our daughter and family who live between Derby and Nottingham. Being away from crowds in a rural location seemed to us the safest option for a short break.. This means we did not use many of the facilities provided.Simple breakfasts and microwaved suppers sufficed as we ate with our family for most of the time. The cottage was clean and absolutely as described. All the facilities we used worked well and the owners were very helpful. For parents with young children there is not a lot for children to do on site outside of the house as it is only about 100 yards from a busy road and the farm is a working farm. However Matlock itself has much to offer for children with a wonderful park including a skate park. The only negative about the whole stay was the temperature on arrival. It is a typical stone built farmhouse with thick walls which take a while to heat up so the central heating needs to be turned up a couple of hours before guests arrive in winter. I would recommend this cottage for anyone wanting a quiet, clean well decorated place to stay.

  Lovely property in a great location to explore the Peaks/Dales.

  Very comfy/cozy with lovely owners who live on site next door and so are on hand for any issues. We had a burst shower head - which was replaced within a few hours. Property was very clean on arrival and as described. Lots space for cars and a lovely view to enjoy the sunshine (if and when it choses to make an appearance!). Property is quite small so if you are into your outdoor pursuits and have loads of clothes and equipment you need to wash/dry/store this may not be the right place for you (no utility, bike room etc) but that is evident from the photos on the listing so just something to be aware of and not a fault of the property in any way. Owners have been provided some feedback as to how to improve a few things, hopefully they will benefit those of you that stay here in the future. Great place, you shouldnt be disappointed if you book this place!!

  I stayed at Grove Farm Barn in early February 2025.

  It's fair to say the weather was not kind. The property was easy to find and I had no problem gaining access. There is plenty of parking space for 2 cars, the drive is shared with other property owners. Having off-road parking was important to me, I have a large estate car and many of the properties advertised only had on-road parking or car parks a distance away. The property was very well presented and very comfortable. I think it is the best property I've stayed in. It had everything I needed, the photographs do it justice. It is ideally located to explore the surrounding area, the nearby towns and attraction can easily take a week to explore. I would certainly recommend Grove Farm Barn.

  Rambler's Cottage is a charming 'home away from home'.

  From the welcome pack for both me and my dog, to the friendliness of all on the farm, I cannot fault my stay at the cottage. My stay was made all the more 'homely' by my twice daily visits from Jess the Jack Russell who came in to check that we were looking after the place and having a treat at the same time! The knowledge of the area shared by Stuart was so useful and helpful and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him or Janet and it was lovely to hear about their lives and livelihood as well as their extensive knowledge of places to go and things to do. Communication with Clare (the owner) was great and again, nothing was too much trouble - I look forward to visiting again.

  We had a 7 night stay at Grove Farm barn.

  On arrival first impressions immaculately clean and beautifully decorated throughout. The barn was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location of the barn was spot on also situated in Darley Dale which is not far from everything we wanted to do and see in Derbyshire the peak district. Being out every day it was nice to come back to a cosy warm relaxing environment with choice of a hot shower or bath. We would highly recommend this beautiful barn conversion to anyone. The two of us went January 2023 we are planing to return in the summer with our children as there is a second room with bunk beds so is suitable also for a family of 4. Danny and Hannah
