We left early, cottage tired and needs updating. Over priced for this standard.

Location. We wanted to explore this part of the derby dales. The heating was clear to operate and efficient. The cottage had been cleaned to a good standard, towels and linen good. and the kitchen had most thing required, see below

On the assumption that someone goes in to clean for the next guests that was done well. However the the carpets were filthy throughout, It badly needs redecorating. Master bedroom the bed was glued together, wonky and uncomfortable., needs updating. Second bedroom (we did not use) had little storage and the tall cupboard (Wardrobe?) had the back missing and no shelving. Third room, bunkbed some sort of hanging storage usually found in a caravan. The bathroom, cracked tiles on the floor that needs a proper clean. Shower rail lose, poor electric shower with small head.

An absolute gem in a great location, incredible value for money.

The location was amazing, quiet and in the countryside but a 4 min drive to Ashbourne for anything we needed. The photos don’t do it justice and in reality is much bigger than it looks! Really quaint and cosy, comfy sofas/chairs/beds and handy to have two loos! We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage and would have loved to have stayed longer :) there is so much to do in the local area. We also had a really delicious meal at the local pub The Red Lion.

The stairs are really creaky/noisy which only really affected us as we were staying with a two year old toddler and my parents…wouldn’t usually be a problem but something to bear in mind if you’re a parent of babies/young kids who go to bed early. Could do with adding pint glasses (but we just borrowed plastic ones from the pub), and my mum was allergic to the down cushions, hypoallergenic ones might be better. We needed to use the wifi all night for our toddlers room camera/ipad, but if anyone else used the internet on their phones it would kick you out of the camera stream.

Quiet retreat in the country

Comfortable beds. Clean and tidy cottage. Contact with owners excellent. Everything you need is there.

No local shop. Didn't really affect us. Parking is a downside. Could be difficult when busy later in the year.

Really lovley stay, happily stay again!

. Great Location . House was spotless . Nice and cozy . Perfect for a couple of days . Felt like a home from home

Nothing we didnt like but just some bits to maybe improve on . Bigger bath towels would be amazing, slightly on the small side . Beds quite old and well used, new bases needed.

Very good

Cottage is lovely and quaint, nice village location.

Parking situation is not ideal and the property is basically straight onto a main road which is quite noisy at times and cars speed up and down there often. The stairs are also very noisy which makes creeping around at night if you have a little one in bed difficult

Peace and comfort.

It was very comfortable, pleasant and had everything you needed. The wood burning stove was very welcome on autumnal evenings.

Parking was slightly tricky, but not very difficult.

Passable

Property basic but reasonable. Good central location Walking distance to nice pub

The property is tired and dated and smelled strongly of mould. Beds not particularly comfortable & felt like they were going to collapse every time you turned over. Third bedroom is really a cupboard with a high bed over the stairwell (not suitable for young children). Garden challenging for dogs - property on main road with low brick wall - had to keep dogs on leads. You needed to be over 6 feet tall to open the bathroom window (had to use a chair from downstairs)

Comfortable but needs some TLC

The cottage was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The village was lovely and the local pub a real bonus.

Overall the cottage was looking tired and dated. The outside areas were very scruffy and the fencing, decking and gate all rotten and in need of replacement. This was a real disappointment as we had hoped to sit outside as the weather was good. A maintenance note regarding a blocked plug hole left over a year ago hadn’t been attended to as the problem persisted but was easily resolved with a bit of attention. Overall in need of some TLC

Great value and perfectly located for walks and Ashbourne.

A good size property and a location perfect for walks in the countryside. Well equipped kitchen and washer-drier.

Parking a bit tight but locals assured us there wasn’t ever an issue.

Cosy cottage at a good price.

Location if you like walks and visiting local attractions. Cottage was cosy and comfortably histed 5 adults with one child. House was well equipped for all our needs and emergency items ( bulbs etc were available) Information booklet quite comprehensive. We would definitely use this cottage again.

Everything for us was good but you may wish to study the details. Parking may be a problem in the summer and there is not really a garden. However I cannot say this is a fault as we didn't need one and there were plenty of footpaths to walk our dog in the mornings.

Comfy cottage, ideal for a short break.

Well equipped kitchen Comfy beds Quiet location

Couldn't work out how the oven worked. Previous guests had left lots of rubbish in the wheely bin, it wasn't very pleasant.

Holiday stay

It was clean and comfortable Spacious and very well equipped with a nice welcome pack Lovely area

The location as the cottage was a main road right on the corner so with children it made it very dangerous crossing the road as it was a blind spot

Fabulous

Spotlessly clean. Kitchen had everything you could need (except the oven!) Smoke alarms work!

The markings on the oven controls had been cleaned off, so working the oven was guesswork. This resulted in us putting it on grill by accident and setting fire to the garlic bread! We didn't use the oven after this. Bunk is top bunk only, so neither my mother or mother in law (81 & 91) could use that room, so they shared the other room.
