"Thankyou for a really nice last minute getaway the peak district is a lovely place....this was the first time we have ever taken our dog with us and it was amazing the cottage has everything you could want.a very luxury feel even down to the drinking glasses!my only issue would have been the bed in the main bedroom. would have preferred it to be kingsize/superking size but I am 6ft5 and is always an issue when going places to stay over not the cottages fault....more mine but I think If you ever upgrade do it to a king size or superking it would warrant a few more ££££s per stay but totally worth it for me personally.the garden is also lovely to sit in and relax.the parking could of been an issue....I was going to bring 2 cars because we were bringing the dog and the kids bikes etc and had seen on the reviews about there being enough parking for 2 cars in front of the cottage..we parked directly infront of our cottage and on the night had a neighbour knocking on the door telling us that was her spot and we would have to move forward next time we went out.she told us our parking is just on the concrete next to the posts wich made it more difficult to get out and in after we were blocked in by the neighbour I'm just glad we didn't bring the 2 cars as one review says you can park in a lay by down the road but while we were there that lay by was taken up by 3 cars someone local was selling.so could of been a big issue as no parking anywhere for possibly a mile each way of the cottage."

"We had a lovely weekend at Lumsdale House. We were 6 adults and 3 children. It was really well equipped with just about everything you could possibly need - the owners had thought of everything! The rooms were huge and there was so much space downstairs. We ate in both nights making full use of the well equipped kitchen and great big dining room. The showers were fantastic (but didn't work so well when someone else was having a shower in another bathroom at the same time!). The only thing that would have improved our weekend was a bit more sunshine and some work on the circular garden immediately outside the house! The garden was beautiful but was a bit let down by the circular garden being full of weeds and overgrown - it would have been stunning with a bit of work. We would definitely go back again if the opportunity arose."

"This was a great venue for a big group as there is so much space! All the rooms are beautiful and the dining room was perfect for our murder mystery evening. We were very comfortable here. The gardens are lovely too and a great location tucked away but a quick drive into Matlock for everything you need. Loved the waterfall over the road. WiFi struggles with a lot of people on it and doesn’t reach round the house very well but that’s to be expected with a big old house like that. My only negative is with regard to the things like glasses and cups etc. Although there was enough for everyone, it was all very miss matched so hard to give everyone the same thing e.g champagne flutes, tumblers and if having a dinner party there isn’t enough cultlery for starter and main, so had to make do. I would love to go back!"

"We were a group of friends who hired the house for the weekend. We absolutely loved it and would return. Both the owner and caretaker were really helpful and informative in advance and during our stay and the caretaker was available if we needed anything and was happy to help. The house itself was stunning. There was plenty of room for 10 of us though note one of the bedrooms is a single soon so we had to pull a single mattress from another room so 2 people could sleep in it. The garden was great. There were lots of board games to play and the house was well equipped for groups. We were blessed with the weather so spent most of our time outside but would love to return in winter as am sure it will be equally impressive then.The only thing I would change is that I wish we booked for 3 rather than 2 nights."

"Cotton Cottage was ideal for a family holiday visiting caves and hill walking to inspire two 13 year old people. We had a supermarket delivery the eve of our arrival and the many cafes, restaurants and pubs sorted meals. The footpath to Lose hill is opposite the gate and from there you can walk the hills round to Mam Tor. The cottage is comfy with a TV in the spacious lounge and also in 2 of the 3 bedrooms. You wake to a cockerel and chickens in the yard and horses close by. The kitchen has attractive quality farmhouse style crockery and chunky glasses. Adequate cooking utensils microwave and 2 fridges were really useful. The owner who lives in the nearby farmhouse was around and friendly and in no way intrusive. The garden is lovely with several seats with views of the valley. We will return!!"
