Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently noted the property as being extremely clean, with one review specifically stating 'cleanliness was second to none'. The high standard of cleanliness contributed significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and the presence of deer, which added to the charm. The proximity to local attractions and the countryside setting were appreciated, although one guest noted it was not as secluded as they would have liked.
The comfort of the property is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds and bedding particularly comfortable. The spaciousness and cosy atmosphere of the cottage allowed for a relaxing stay, although there were comments about the lack of seating for larger groups.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests mentioned a lack of baking equipment, awkward parking, and a desire for more storage space. The presence of modern TVs and a BBQ were positives.
While the reviews reflect that the hosts were accommodating and kind, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category.

We have had a marvellous time. The house is lovely, well cared for and very clean. The owners Jo and Rob are very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. One of the delights is looking out of the windows to see deer very close by grazing. Hot tub was amazing. We have had a quiet and peaceful holiday even with four grandchildren in attendance. Hopefully will be returning soon. We also travelled into Matlock Bath and Belper. Both worth a visit. Thank you.

We had a wonderful weekend. The cottage is spacious, beautifully decorated and maintained with views of surrounding countryside and deer in adjacent fields. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. The owners are friendly, helpful and accomodating. Thank you, Jo & Rob, for helping to make our stay so memorable
