Guests say
Burdettes Cottage in Derby is praised for its cosy, peaceful atmosphere and friendly hosts. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, rural charm, and proximity to walking areas. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as clean and well-kept.
The location is described as peaceful and great for walking, though one review mentions a rough road leading to the cottage.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, especially the cosy atmosphere. However, one guest noted an uncomfortable bed, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are mostly appreciated, but some guests reported missing kitchen utensils and a small fridge/freezer, indicating room for improvement.
While guests mention a welcome pack and a gesture of goodwill, there is no consistent reference to gifts, and thus, it cannot be guaranteed.

Burdette Cottage was fabulous! 💯We had motoring issues and when we arrived late, the owner Greg was there to greet us and was friendly, down to earth and helpful. The cottage is so cosy and peaceful, located in a world away from the world. Great for walking, our big hairy wean 🐾💙 loved it to bits! Housekeeper Claire was lovely and was there to support with anything we required or had questions about. (Thanks Claire!🤗) We will definitely be back and would recommend Burdette without any hesitation. Thanks for having us.🙂
