"The finish on the building is of a very high quality and the owner made us feel most welcome. We were sorry to leave such a lovely holiday home.."

"The Barn was well equipped with high quality furnishings, we felt very comfortable there. The Barn was well insulated and the under-floor heating was very efficient which was welcomed on the couple of colder days we had. The Welcome Pack was a hamper full of quality local produce, even a treat for the dog, never had a Welcome Pack so good. It was a lovely touch. ..."

"...after travelling over 100 miles it'd be easier if it was sign posted. The cottage was exceptional although it is in a rather derelict location but handy for the superb dog walks. The yard was perfect as were the facilities and space. We couldn't have faulted the westher so enjoyed sitting outside. The owners guidebook suggested it was a 10.30 am leave but email stated 10 am. We left at 10.33 am but still felt pushed out. Dean was polite enough but entered the property while we were clearly loading the car with the final pieces. He handed my poorly mum our dog beds as if to get her out which i did not appreciate. Consequently I didn't get to have a last minute check and left food which I intended to take and my hair comb. Everything replaceable but felt if Dean had waited a couple more mins I'd have definitely come back. Only disappointing thing was for the money, a king size comfy bed would be better than the low double with a not so comfy mattress. Yvonne"

"Having selected Grey Roofs based on the glorious photos and proximity for where we wanted to be we were not disappointed if anything we were blown away. Grey Roofs accepts 2 well behaved dogs and is well suited as a holiday base for the energetic canine that likes to take their human companions on holiday with them. We received a warm friendly reception and the addition of a welcome pack is a very nice touch. There is plenty of good walking for the dogs and humans with a nice walk across park land and public footpath that can take you to rear entrance of a charming village pub that does great food. I would recommend a stay at Grey Roofs to anyone. Thanks for a great break."

"The property was brilliant, the underfloor heating kept us cosy warm and facilities such as kitchen and shower were of a extremely high standard. Location makes travelling for days out easy we visited Chatsworth house and Bakewell. Evenings were great as property so relaxing, we took full advantage of the smart tv and now tv film package provided. Fully enclosed garden was perfect for our small dog Bella we never needed to worry about leaving a door open. Welcome hamper, have to agree with other reviews such a excellent surprise. Dean the owner was great, he was available to answer any questions, but gave you full privacy. If you are looking for a high quality, modern property with super entertainment package but in a location which benefits from peace, quiet and walks from the door you can stop looking, greyroofs manages to meet all expectations. We will definitely look to return."

"The welcome pack was the best we have received."

"The noise caused my dogs to bark and I had to keep them in. I do think it would be fair to inform guests if such work is being carried out. As a consequence I didn’t benefit from the peace and quiet of the property which is one of the features that was important to me. Grey Roofs is a fabulous property, the welcome hamper was first class. I would recommend Grey Roofs to friends and family."

The Welcome Pack was a hamper full of quality local produce, even a treat for the dog, never had a Welcome Pack so good. It was a lovely touch. The secure courtyard garden was great for the dog and beyond the ruins of the Abbey was beautiful parkland type countryside, ideal for walking our dog. Dean was very accommodating and helpful if you needed him, otherwise left you to enjoy your holiday. Would highly recommend. Pauline, Andy and Ralphy"

"Very well equipt, modern, spacious and clean; ideal for me, my husband, baby and dog. We received a beautiful hamper too to welcome us which was a great touch. Definitely something we appreciate in a 5* cottage. We also ordered a Tesco delivery who did manage to find the cottage so this was perfect. Ideal for dog walkers as there is a large field next door where our dog could run off lead. The cottage was also very secure for him as it’s all enclosed. Ideal location for Ashbourne and Dovedale and about 30 mins to Matlock (all places I would recommend, especially Dovedale stepping stones). The cottage itself is very secluded and right next to the Calwich Abbey down a very long lane. This was a little unnerving at first as we’re used to neighbours but we got used to it by the end of the week. There was a very strong smell from the septic tank which put us off sitting outside which was a tad disappointing. This could have been due to the heat and the fact that the owner is renovating the cottage next door. As said in a previous review...I would have liked to have seen a king size bed with a more comfy mattress In the main bedroom! I ended up sleeping in the smaller room for some of the week. All in all though a great find and I would definitely recommend this place to others, especially if you have a dog."

"The location was as described but had it not been for earlier reviews we'd have likely never found it....after travelling over 100 miles it'd be easier if it was sign posted. ..."

"Owner very helpful. Having rented cottages for over 20 years, this probably the best, or at least in the top 3."

"It catered to our needs and was very suitable for our baby and dogs. Would definitely go back."

"The welcome basket (including dog treats) was a lovely touch. We would recommend Grey Roofs without hesitation."

"Peace and quite and plenty of wildlife. The property is finished to a very high standard - all a credit to the owner."

"The owner was very friendly but not intrusive and the welcome hamper was a nice touch. Thanks."

"Very clean, modern and finished to a high standard. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch. The only downside was not having enough time to spend there!! We would definitely love to return. Thank you"

". The welcome hamper was lovely thank you. I would definitely recommend and definitely go back."

"It look far better in real life than on the photos. It’s set within beautiful grounds and is very quite. The owner was lovely although we never met him, he left us a beautiful hamper of goodies, bacon, eggs, sausages and even dog treats. I would highly recommend this property for a weeeknd away."

"The cottage was immaculate; clean and extremely well appointed with excellent modern appliances. Its location provided a number of good local walks for us and the dog. It is also well placed for access to Dovedale and the southern Peak District. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise - the local produce within was delicious. We had a slight problem with the water heating but the owner responded immediately and was with us in 15 minutes to sort out the problem. Highly recommended."

"Owner (Dean) provided us with some locally produced produce all we needed for a lovely cooked breakfast and even some treats for our dog a very nice touch. Great walks on the door step and plenty of places to visit. Would definitely recommend thankyou."

"Definitely the best welcome package ever left for us!"

"The cottage is in a very quiet location and the facilities are lovely. Cottage is done to a very high specification so makes the holiday extra luxurious. The kitchen is very well equipped, we definitely recommend and book again. The only tiny tiny comment is the hot water is tricky... you have to be quick in the shower before it turns cold..."

"The hamper was an added bonus full of local produce, even treats for the dog. Thank you Dean. Lots to do and see in the area and a little further afield."

"The bedrooms are large with plenty of storage. We found the beds extremely comfortable. There is a large walk-in shower with underfloor heating - lovely! Grey Roofs is set down a winding 'track' across farmland, but the track itself is well made so it's easy to negotiate. It's very peaceful. Ashbourne is a short drive away where there are supermarkets for your holiday needs and Grey Roofs location makes it easy to visit all the interesting places in the area. The patio area of Grey Roofs is large and there is a large B-B-Q - weather permitting! The hamper of local produce left for us by Dean and Fiona was much appreciated. We really enjoyed our week in Grey Roofs and hope to visit again sometime in the future."

"The welcome hamper was a real treat. Will definately be back!"

"The accommodation was first class, with a wonderful kitchen, comfortable lounge area. Comfortable beds as well. The shower was very much appreciated,rarely have we stayed anywhere where the shower was better than the one we have at home. We made use of the barbecue as we were extremely lucky with the weather. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The Derbyshire Dales are beautiful and we enjoyed lots of walks with our two dogs. They appreciated the doggy treats in the welcome pack, and we appreciated the totally secure garden, with peace of mind they couldn’t get out. A very peaceful setting that I am sure we will visit again."

"The holiday home has everything you need and is finished to a very high standard I marked just below happy face for comfort purely because the bed was extremely hard would of preferred a softer mattress but that was the only reason the rest was perfect and would definitely go again.Oh and you get a lovely welcome hamper on arrival too which is a lovely gesture.***** 5 star + accommodation."

"Will definitely book it again and once the new cottage behind is finished the site will be lovely."

"The property was further from the road than we anticipated which meant we had difficulty finding it however we telephoned the owner who met us at the top of the road and guided us to the property. Beautiful surroundings, High quality furnishings, spotlessly clean and excellent facilities. Would definitely recommend it"

"Very secure garden which was a bonus as we had dogs . High standard of property . Would recommend trip to Dovedale and Bakewell"

"The secure garden was just perfect for our 2 dogs. The welcoming hamper was a great touch and very much appreciated."

"We have just got back after a week at the Grey Roofs cottage which is only a few miles from Ashbourne.The accommodation certainly lived up to the pictures and more.It is down a long lane which makes it very private and beautifully quiet, which we love. The whole cottage has been kitted out very tastefully and is very clean. The under floor heating was amazing and kept us incredibly warm and cosy to the extent that we didn't even need to light the woodburner. It is also a great dog friendly place ..."

"The welcome hamper was full of local produce which was lovely and tasty, the enclosed yard was excellent for our dogs. We would definately return maybe in the summer so we can take advantaged of the barbecue and the outside space too. There are lots of places to take the dogs for walks within 20 minute drives and also nearby field.There is a local pub 3 minutes drive away and it is dog friendly the food was delicious The Dunscombe Arms. ..."

"Location was very peaceful and everything we needed was available. Some great dog walks near by and our dogs were exhausted after the week! Dean the owner was on hand for our arrival and left a hamper with some lovely local produce. The garden was great for the dogs as it is very secure and well lit with outside lights at night. Visited in winter so didn’t use the BBQ but it looks great."

"It's a very impressive place, very modern and stylish cosy and warm. The food hamper was the"

"We had a wonderful stay at Grey Roofs. My mum, myself and my dog. The property is not the most obvious to find, sat nav takes you down the wrong drive about 1 min away, so perhaps a sign pointing you in the right direction from the main road entrance would be helpful. We kind of stumbled upon it really, but the owner lives so close if you do miss it and phone him, he will come and guide you in so not a major issue. Grey Roofs was everything we wanted for our weeks stay in the Peak District. ..."
