we got this cottage on a deal sometime last year, there was 6 of us which cameto £90 each. we went to celebrate a friends birthday and was a lovely stay. we were really pleased with our stay, a hot tub, a nice view and even cockerels that came to say hi at the door! the cottage was clean and secure and the bedrooms were cosy and felt very safe. the owner gave us an unprompted tour around the farm to see the pigs and the donkeys etc which was a nice touch.one thing i would request a change for would be the £1 for an extra toilet roll if you ran out. i feel like these are a necessity and shouldn’t need to pay an extra £1 per toilet roll- we went to the shop and ended up buying a pack of our own. the hot tub was always heated and a fully equipped kitchen. there was even a hoover, brush, an iron and board and other amenities. there is a walk not far away, at a place called markeaton park and a shopping retail park close by. overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would return! :)

A well equipped and clean cottage. Especially the kitchen. Found the downstairs a little chilly compared to the hot temperatures upstairs, the underfloor heating upstairs was very hot. Lots of towels and the hairdryers were of a high quality. Location was central for all the activities we visited and the pub and shops not too far away.
