We stayed at Lakeview for a four night stay for our family reunion and had a fabulous time. The house was very clean and super comfortable. The beds were definitely luxurious and we all slept well. There was nothing that we did not like about Lakeview. The weather fairy was on on our side as we had perfect weather and sat outside on the patio with wonderful scenery and a great view of the lake. I would definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend for a great place to explore the Dales.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Christmas. A stunning house with beautiful and tasteful furnishings. Spotless on arrival, kitchen well stocked with various crockery, glasses and cooking equipment. We had a walk around the reservoir on Christmas Eve, perfect weather and a well earned drink at the Miners Arms afterwards. Would love to stay again sometime. Thank you again

Just back from a wonderful weekend celebrating my daughters 21st birthday . House was ideal , hot tub we rented was brilliant. 5 minute walk to the pub . Enjoyed a lovely walk around the lake on Saturday .

Great, comfortable cottage in a lovely village. Log burner was a plus. Very well equipped, and big comfy beds. Ideal location within walking distance of a great pub and a 5 min drive to Carsington Waters where we hired bikes to cycle. Would highly recommend.

Beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Pub 7 minutes walk away. Our only niggle was no downstairs toilet but highly recommend anyway.

The property is beautiful, large, well appointed and spacious. Four adults stayed and my three month old granddaughter. We had a hot tub in the garden which overlooked Carsington water. This was a beautiful addition to the property. It is mentioned in the description that it costs extra to rent so you are not too bothered to pay the hire price. However my husband was informed that an extra £100 charge would be required for the electricity used to heat the hot tub over the three nights we were there. I looked up the price of how much a modern hot tub costs 2 feet and this is maximum around £6 per day so feel that £100 was far too much to ask. The weather was cold while we were there and as we had a very young child with us so we needed the heating on. Each time we had to email Pat Miller to ask her to switch it on. She did explain that there was some problem with the app that she was using but I couldn’t understand why we had to ask to have the heating on in the house. Be prepared if you visit in the autumn as you have no control over the heating in the house. On the morning we were leaving it was very chilly while we were getting ready to leave and again I asked Pamela to switch the heating on so that we could get the baby ready and she made a comment about it not being cold. I found this slightly offensive as the baby needed the chill taken off of the house.

Beautiful, spotlessly clean cottage in idyllic surroundings with a very friendly efficient host. Couldn't ask for more, you won't be dissapointed if you book a stay, looking forward to returning in the future.

Our 2nd time staying at Lake View. A great location and the property is well appointed. Communication with owner was very good and property very clean and well appointed. We would recommend this property.

Lovely location nearby lots of villages, towns like bakewell and matlock. Weather wasnt brillaint but still had a great time. Beautiful cottage with every thing needed.

Comfortable house, with recent renovation and large rooms

We had a wonderful time at Lakeview. Such a special location overlooking Carsington Water. My husband took his bike and rode around the lake, it was roughly a 9 mile ride. We hired a hot tub to keep the older children happy. There is a great pub down the road. The host Pamela was fantastic. We would definitely go again.

Beautiful master bedroom with plenty of room for two large beds for my son and his family, bathroom ensuite with wonderful view. Would have been better if all three bedrooms were on the first floor as no bathroom downstairs. Kitchen had plenty of crockery, pans etc. Empty hamper in the corner with no welcome pack was very disappointing. No milk, or other basics until we asked! The Cock at Mugginton recommended by Pamela was well worth the visit with delicious food and beautiful surroundings.

Lovely Holiday. Property was immaculately clean and roomy. Location looking over carsington water and within easy reach to Matlock, Bakewell and surrounding areas and attractions. Lots to do at Carsington Waters. 5 minutes walk to the local pub, the Miners Arms, with good food. Hosts available if required and pleasant.

Beautiful views from this property. Local pub a few minutes walk away. Host was very helpful and beds were really helpful,

What a fantastic weekend for a family celebration. Great outdoor space perfect for the beautiful weather we were blessed with. Would certainly recommend.

Lovely property, finished to a high standard. Host was very nice and helpful, when we mentioned we were cold, due to the unseasonable chill, she turned on the heat and found us some kindling so we could make use of the lovely log burner. Heated floors in bathrooms we didn't expect so that was also very nice. The tub with a view is spectacular. Main bed was comfortable but a bit firm for us with dodgy shoulders. Ice was a great touch. Some milk on arrival would also have been appreciated but we had our own Long life, so it was ok to make a cup of tea. Only thing we didn't like was the layout, not quite what we expected, the dining table in the entry foyer, which would have made home catering a little awkward, but we didn't do that so it was fine. A floor plan in the listing would alleviate confusion. Also the lounge tended to tip up in the middle section when you tried to get out of it. Just little things but did impact us a bit. Overall it was a superb location and the views over Carsington waters were very nice indeed.

This house is well maintained and clean. It’s setting is gorgeous. We had a wonderful stay with family. We had an issue Re heating which the owners worked with us. I’d really like to rent a house where we control the heating settings, this house is not set up like this. We had never had this experience before in the numerous homes we have rented. However we would still love to stay again because it suited us so well and Pamela was so attentive with our communications and really wanted us to be happy In Her beautiful home!

We loved the tranquility of the property with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. A blissful few days away.

The property was amazing and Pamela was the perfect host and helped me a great deal from start to finish. We had a fantastic time. I can't recommend this please enough.

We had the most fabulous week end break, the weather was very kind to us. The house is beautiful and adequate spca for myself and six girl friends. Very cosy lounge to sit around and chat after an afternoon walk in the country with bird hides close by. The hire of a hot tub was great fun and added enjoyment. Pamela the host is so lovely and helpful. Would recommend Lake View to all my family and friends.

Great location, weather was not the best ;0), but we enjoyed ourselves with some chilled out times. The hot tub needs thinking about as a hot tub is listed, but is actually hired on top of the property cost. The tub is not hot enough to use first day, as it heats 4 degrees per hour, so £280 for a four night hire is actually over three days. Would love to stay again in summer next time:0).

Wonderful views from the cottage and ideally located for local villages & towns. Would definitely return to this cottage

Eight of us were easily accommodated at the house including a dining table that fitted us all. We walked around the straight from the cottage door and the Miners Arms is less than 5 mins walk and is a great pub for food and drinks.

Lakeview is a gorgeous property in a stunning location. The cottage was immaculate and the owner had thought through everything that anyone would need during their stay, and more, including details of the area, local amenities etc. Pam reached out to us once we had arrived to check that all was okay and was readily available should we have needed her (we didn’t due to everything being so thought through). My two year old daughter loved stay so much that she didn’t want to leave and took full advantage of playing with the toys and games provided. The cottage is in a beautiful setting with a spacious parking area. We hired a hot tub and would definitely recommend this as an added extra to take in the breathtaking surrounding views and lake. Thank you for a great stay Pam! X

We booked Lakeview for a family holiday with our two adult children and their partners. Strangely it was the first property that came up when we started to look and despite searching to see if we could find anything better suited Lakeview seemed to be the perfect choice for us. We all felt tired and in need of a much needed rest and Lakeview fulfilled all our needs. Set just off a country lane in Hopton (look out for Hopton House as it took us a while to find the property) with lovely views across the lake and with a small patio area and large grass garden it was just as the listing in Vrbo stated. The house was immaculate - lovely and clean and fresh and we each had our own room (note one of the bedrooms is downstairs and no downstairs toilet). The decor was lovely, contemporary and fresh and the lounge with wood burner and huge sofa was ideal for family time in the evenings. We hired the hot tub for the week and if this is something that you enjoy we recommend it. We were very lucky with the weather and between us we spent a lot of time on the patio (there were two sun beds and a table, umbrella and chairs) and in the hot tub. The only small thing that we could find fault with were the bath towels were very small and inadequate. If you are hiring the hot tub we recommend that you bring your own towels as ours were constantly wet and there was no tumble dryer to dry them in. The local area was lovely with a pub just up the road had good food and small town (Wirksworth) 2 miles from the house. Lots of lovely walks or bike rides if that is what you enjoy. The host Pamela was close by and helpful in all our requests. We would definitely love to come back to this lovely property and would highly recommend it.
