Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with guests feeling comfortable during their stay. There are no significant complaints about cleanliness, indicating a high standard is maintained.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to walking trails, and the charm of the surrounding Peak District. The village setting with a nearby pub adds to the appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

Most guests find the cottage cosy and homely, with a log burner adding to the comfort. However, some guests mentioned the beds could be more comfortable, and there were comments about the central heating schedule and the need for additional warmth.

The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities and the garden is a highlight. However, points are deducted for ongoing issues with the washing machine and some guests noted the need for minor repairs and updates.

Guests frequently mention the welcome pack and other considerate touches, reflecting the owner's thoughtfulness. It's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This character, detached cottage is situated in the picturesque village of Biggin, near to Ashbourne, in the peak District National Park. This cottage is tastefully decorated throughout, keeping many original characters, making a perfect place for families and groups of friends to enjoy a lovely holiday. There is a well-equipped kitchen with a good-sized dining table and chairs, making a great social space to prepare and enjoy some great home-cooked meals. There is a choice of two sitting rooms with plenty of comfy sofas either with a welcoming woodburning stove or electric fire to relax in front of after a full day out and about exploring the area. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, plus a cot room with a family bathroom. To the outside of the cottage are extensive enclosed lawned gardens to enjoy, making a great place for the kids to let off some steam. Make use of the outside furniture for some alfresco dining or even just a relax with a glass of something chilled. There are wonderful walks from the doorstep and cycling trails directly accessible from the village, while the lovely village church and pub allow you to soak up the local atmosphere. Take a trip to the wonderful National Trust owned Dovedale and make use of the Tissington Trail for something different. For a good day out, take a trip to Buxton with its famous opera house and spa water as well as a good array of shops and bars, whilst the antique searcher’s paradise of Ashbourne is also an easy drive away in the opposite direction. Further afield, take a visit to Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, or take a trip to Alton Towers for a fun-filled day out. Whatever you decide to do, Church View is a great place to explore the whole of the Peak District.

The lovely, small rural village of Biggin is situated perfectly for exploring the Peak District National Park. The village is a scattered stone-built village with a church, a lovely pub serving good food and Biggin Hall Restaurant. Biggin is close to the wonderful National Trust owned Dovedale and the Tissington Trail, with excellent access for all for walking and cycling.

    We arrived and the cottage was decorated for us with lights and decorations making it instantly feel festive and magical. The welcome pack we were greeted with was the best we have ever had. The cottage itself had literally everything you could ever need and more. Warm, quiet and in the perfect location. The pub was just a couple of minutes walk away, was friendly and the food was delicious.

    The welcome pack was lovely and the fire every evening was great and so easy to use and we found the bed very comfortable. We used the bus a couple of times to go to Buxton and Ashbourne very easy to do with the stop outside the property! Plenty of walking and pubs nearby although the ground is a bit wet at this time of year. We would definitely stay again but more likely May/June when we could enjoy the garden. There was only 2 of us but the property would have been great for us as a family when our children were younger!

    Lovely log burner with plenty of logs. The owner was lovely and left washing up liquid and cloths and there was some tea and coffee and some lovely treats. It was very cold when we stayed with temperatures just above freezing. There was strict instructions not to mess with the heating settings. The heating didn’t come on until 6.30 pm. As it got dark at 4 pm we were coming to the cottage in freezing temperatures. The beds were not comfortable. Although the furnishings met our needs it didn’t give us the feel of walking into somewhere luxury or nice. For the price it was disappointing.
