Cleanliness is repeatedly praised, with guests describing the cottage as 'immaculately clean', 'beautifully clean', and 'spotless'. Only one or two minor mentions of extra towels or toilet rolls, but no significant complaints. The high frequency and consistency of positive comments justify a near-perfect score.

Guests consistently describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, spacious, and homely. There are occasional mentions of low ceilings upstairs, typical for a period property, but this is generally seen as adding to the charm rather than detracting from comfort.

About this property
This is a lovely, detached stone Arkwright cottage in the village of Cromford, home to the famous Arkwight Mills in the Peak District National Park. Situated next to the owners’ home, the cottage has a lovely spacious feeling, making it ideal for a family holiday. On the ground floor is a large sitting room with beautiful exposed brickwork, wooden beams and a flame-effect gas fire, giving it a cosy feel whilst opposite is a fully-equipped traditional kitchen with a dining table. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms, both with low windows and views over Cromford towards the hills beyond. Outside, there is a patio and a gravelled area with a small path leading to a stone outbuilding, along with a further patio, with a stream running alongside, which also takes in the village views.
The cottage is situated just a ten minute walk from the High Peak Trail and associated cycle routes and the centre of Cromford is just a two minute walk away. This popular village has a fine selection of shops and pubs and just a couple of miles away, Matlock Bath has a huge selection of cafes and ice cream parlours, and is also the starting point for the cable car that takes you to the Heights of Abraham.

We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and the central location was good as we had a lovely pub and hotel nearby to eat out when we wanted to. Lovely friendly hosts living next door.

We only took the car out once in a week. We had a great first impression with cleanliness and looked very modern, despite its 200 year age. Great contact with the owners to answer any of our questions quickly. Thank you for that. Very well equipped, you don't need to take anything. The facilities were perfect and so much information about what to do, where to eat. We were not very keen on the stoney outside area which was not attached to the house and located opposite, across a driveway and hard to see from the cottage. But that was just us, it wouldn't stop us visiting again.
