Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently praised the cottage for its very clean and pleasant condition, with special mentions of clean bathrooms and a tidy kitchen.
The location is central for exploring the Peak District, with easy access to local towns and attractions. However, some guests noted traffic noise due to the cottage's proximity to a busy crossroads.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with a home-from-home feel. Comfortable beds and a well-equipped living space contributed to the high comfort level, although some guests mentioned the need for earplugs due to traffic noise.
The property is well-equipped with a clean oven, fridge, washing machine, and tumble dryer. However, some guests suggested the need for more power sockets and noted the early lorry traffic as a minor inconvenience.
Many guests were delighted by the thoughtful welcome gifts, including biscuits, wine, and cake. While these gifts were highly appreciated, it's important to note that such gestures are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
The Old Toll Bar cottage is a brilliant holiday retreat on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
A fantastic renovation of the original Toll Bar, this cottage is flowing with quality throughout, making it a really great holiday retreat for family and friends. The décor inside is stunning, whilst embracing lots of original features, such as the stone arches between rooms. You’ll feel right at home, with a comfortable lounge, spacious and well equipped kitchen, separate dining room and three lovely bedrooms.
The Old Toll Bar is situated just outside the historic town of Wirksworth on the edge of the Peak District National Park, meaning you won’t be stuck for things to do during your stay. Head into Wirksworth, filled with history and heritage. Catch a train from Wirksworth to Duffield on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, or a film at Northern Lights little cinema. Venture to the High Peak trail - great for walkers and cyclists. Carsington Water is great if you’re wanting to have a go at some water-sports, or visit StarDisc - a 21st century stone circle star chart sitting high above Wirksworth. Don’t forget to visit Matlock Bath’s cable cars and have a stroll along the riverside prom.
Jump in the car and you’ll soon be at the magnificent Chatsworth House, historic Haddon Hall or travel to Bakewell, famous for its Pudding and take in the breath-taking views of picturesque villages, hills, valleys and sparking rivers on your way.

Mrs Reeves
Property was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. Its on a main crossroads with some very heavy traffic, which did concern me with young children. Lots to do locally and we had an enjoyable week away. Thank you for the warm welcome we received.

Beautiful well equipped cottage. Done to a very high standard. Only disadvantage was the head room in the up stairs double bedroom. But we coped because the rest of the cottage more than made up for that, would definitely stay again.Could do with an earlier book in and slightly later departure.
