The cottage itself is comfortable and warm (we visited in autumn, when the weather was cooler, but the central heating works well!) and has everything needed. The road outside the cottage is narrow and traffic was quite frequent, but parking for the cottage was immediately alongside the house, so there was never a problem. The cottage is situated by the river, with pleasant walks immediately on hand, and easy access to the very beautiful Derbyshire countryside.

Had a lovely stay at this cottage. It has a beautiful location with walks right outside! The cottage would benefit from a little modernising, but it was cosy, clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend!

I had an absolutely great week at River Cottage. A stunning location, with great view and walks, from the doorstep. The cottage was very clean on arrival, and was well appointed. The three local pubs, and cosy tearoom, all served great food. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be returning.
