Guests consistently highlight the cottage’s comfort, well-equipped kitchen, beautiful garden, and thoughtful touches. The location is ideal for exploring the Peak District, with scenic walks and welcoming local pubs nearby. While some mention detailed house rules and a now-closed village shop, these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. The cottage is described as a perfect retreat for relaxation and memorable holidays.
Multiple reviews describe the cottage as spotlessly clean, pristine, and the cleanest guests have experienced. Cleanliness is consistently highlighted as a standout feature.
The location is praised for its peaceful village setting, proximity to local pubs, and access to beautiful walks and the Peak District. One minor note is the closure of the village shop, but this does not significantly impact the overall positive impression.

The cottage is described as extremely well-equipped, with a well-stocked kitchen, rain shower, and beautiful garden. Maintenance and attention to detail are frequently praised. One guest mentioned a preference for a bathroom blind, but this was a personal request rather than a general issue.

Tucked away in the centre of the beautiful village of Bonsall, this perfect ‘chocolate box’ hideaway has been expertly turned into a secret haven by the owner’s keen eye for interior design and renovation. Exquisite soft furnishings and furniture, along with a cosy woodburner, add to the charm and character. With two double bedrooms (one spacious and one more compact), Penny Cottage sits detached, directly on the Limestone Way where you can experience charming fields, dales, caves, cliffs, gorges, woodland and riverside paths along the route. Bonsall is a village of 1000 inhabitants in the Derbyshire Dales on the edge of the Peak District and has a long history of lead mining, possibly going back to Roman times, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Bonsall inhabitants have been involved in the textile industry, pre- and post-Arkwright. In early modern times it was on an important salters’ route, and was a staging post on the road between Derby and Manchester. Situated on the edge of the Peak District National Park and just a short drive from the famous Arkwright Mills at Cromford, Penny Cottage makes an ideal base from which to explore the region’s attractions. Matlock and Bakewell are close by, as is the picturesque village of Crich with its fantastic Tramway Village, while majestic Chatsworth House and Carsington Reservoir, with its sailing centre, are well worth a visit. After a day exploring, sit in the beautiful garden with a glass in hand as the sun sets over the tree-lined fields. Tearoom 400 yards, award winning pub serving food less than half a mile. Supermarkets, pharmacies etc. in Matlock, approx. 4 miles away.

We loved our stay at Penny Cottage! This cottage is absolutely stunning and done to such a high standard. Every detail has been thought of and the milk in the fridge when we arrived was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated!There are steps up to the cottage but I was on crutches and managed ok! The garden is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The hosts are lovely and very responsive/helpful to any queries. We really hope to visit again in the future, definitely one of the most lovely cottages I’ve stayed in and excellent value!Thank you **.
