We had easy access and managed to park our car right outside. Had a walk down the hill to the boat pub really friendly staff and the local people just made the night food was plentiful and well cooked. Local buses ran every 30mins and on time. The location of the cottage was spot on and we will be back. X

It was a bit colder this year, so I had to put the heating on. I'm hopeless with anything technical, so I had a slight problem understanding the details that came on the small screen to control the heating. After 3 attempts, I finally managed to get the correct temperature, etc, & I put the heating back off in the morning. Everything else was fine, & I look forward to staying at 85 The Hill again, the next time I visit Cromford. (Jeff from Ayrshire).

Very well appointed with everything you would require for holiday. Having been at another cottage a few years ago we were aware that the stairs were quite steep. My wife is Partially disabled but with the carpeting on stairs and hand rail this made access to upstairs easier. Only slight drawback was shower over bath as hight of bath made it difficult for getting in and out of shower. But all in all an excellent accommodation within walking distance for amenities.
