It provided a warm and comfortable base in a week of indifferent March weather. We very much appreciated the generous provisions which awaited our arrival. The Hill becomes very busy at times and is used during daytime by numerous lorries travelling to and from nearby quarries. However, this is characteristic of local industry and additional glazing to the windows largely eliminates traffic noise. An excellent bus service and walks from the door allowed us to leave our car parked at the cottage and to explore local trails eg the Cromford Canal & High Peak Trail, and other places of interest - a relaxing car-free week!

Though the cottage is small there is very clever use of space so there is everything you need even a coffee pod machine. The owners left a few lovely homely touches which made us feel welcome too. I would highly recommend this holiday let.

There were some biscuits, wine, bread, butter and milk left, which was very much appreciated. A lot of very thoughtful touches throughout the house, e.g. charging cables left in the bed room and an automatic nightlight in the bathroom. Also, a lot of information about the area and the history of the cottage, which was very interesting and we found annual passes for the Cromford Mills, which unfortunately we didn't have time to use but very thoughtful! Unfortunately, the mattress isn't very comfortable and left us with stiff backs after two nights. As it is only a small cottage and there isn't a lot of space, the landing is a death trap in the night, you'll have to be careful not to fall down the stairs when going to the loo in the night. The shower is very small and water pressure wasn't very good. The cottage is right at the main road of the village and it was surprisingly busy, very loud during the night so we didn't unfortunately get the rest we were hoping for on our holiday. Over all, in terms of thoughtfulness of the owners one of the best places we've stayed, but for what we were looking for (relaxation and comfort) not quite right.
