“A great place to stay for enjoying walking and scenery” Great owners - very helpful in advising places to go. The accommodation was ideal for two people and was in easy walking distance to the town of Buxton which had lovely gardens and a great choice of eating places. Plenty of good walks in the area.

“We enjoyed a lovely week” Small but beautifully formed. This cottage is perfect for two people to enjoy a wonderful holiday in fabulous surroundings. The owner Ken could not have been more helpful, everything worked and we relaxed completely. The walking is great both from the door and from a short drive away. We would not hesitate to recommend it.

“Good Value for money” A lovely well equipped cottage in a quiet rural location. Very clean and cosy. Watched the cows every morning and evening on their daily commute to be milked - a lovely treat if you are a townie.

“Good value for money” Easy to find, being close to a main a road. Very friendly service and excellent panoramic views.

“Perfect Derbyshire bolt-hole” The cottage was immaculate, absolutely nothing missing. The owner was on hand if any help needed. The flowers and biscuits were a nice touch.

“charming cottage linked to farmhouse in restful, rural location.” We enjoyed the location, convenient for exploring the region - surrounded by fields but, being joined to the owner's farmhouse, it did not feel isolated. The cottage faced a concrete yard, field and barns (rustic - not chocolate box so could do with 'softening' a bit for holiday purposes - grassy garden behind (didn't use this so don't know if it would have suited families). The cottage was charming and larger than expected. We took advantage of a slight discount but on arrival realised it was probably given as the adjacent barn was being converted into a cottage - it would not have deterred us but would have appreciated knowing that in advance. As we were using the cottage as a base for exploring the region it didn't inconvenience us but may have done if we were planning just a quiet retreat. We would be happy to go back again.

“Superb cottage.” Such a lovely cottage, well fitted out with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The view from the lounge and patio is beautiful over to Mam Tor and the surrounding area of the dark peak district and the walled garden is very private.

“An all round first class house and location.” Indoor facilities first class. Bags of space without ten of us "living on top of each other" Good pub doing huge meals at good prices only walking distance away. The week we were at Ipstones was not good but the log fire with no restrictions on use of logs was a first class bonus. No shortage of facilities in the catering - loads of cooking utensils and glasses etc. All ion all a very pleasurable and memorable stay.

“review orchard view” nice cottage, all facilities provided were satisfactory and the lcle very pleasant.

“romantic getaway” An excellent location in the central peak district. The weather was wonderful too, which helped as we could maximise our outdoor time.

“An excellent stay!” Very well placed for exploring the Peak District. Clean, smart cottage, with a very helpful and friendly owner. Would highly recommend!

“fantastic location and lovely warm welcome” we had a fantastic week made all the better for the warm welcome from the owners who called for our 3 children each morning to come and help feed the horses and tolerated our 2 year old throwing the stones from the driveway into the water trough! This barn is in a wonderful location, close to Chatworth and Bakewell, right in the Peak District with beautiful walks right opposite. we will definitely go back!

“Fantastic Weekend...” This cottage was booked for my birthday celebration - what an amazing house! views were outstanding, cottage was gorgeous - we didn't want to leave! Our little boy loved running around in the gardens and neighbouring fields. We will definitely be returning for more!

“Cosy cottage in a tranquil location” We had a very warm reception from Jill, the owner, on the day we arrived. She also gave us a welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. The kitchen was well-equiped and clean. The standard of cleanliness in the whole house was very good. The decor of the house was very pleasing and the beds were comfortable. The house is set in a peaceful location but is not too remote. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay and an enjoyable holiday in this part of the country.

“It was very peaceful and relaxing” The service was very good the home was very clean with the added bonus of ensuite bedrooms. The plasma screen tv was brilliant as was the game console. The local pub was really good and the food was excellent! Beautiful scenery and lovely walks. Enjoyed the quietness and the welcoming pack. There was nothing to dislike.

“Very comfortable and relaxing” Owners were friendly.The accommodation was very comfortable and very dog friendly,they even left some dog treats for alfie.Would consider going back in the future.

“Pet friendly and peaceful.” A delightful, cosy cottage ideal for a peaceful break. Our dogs were made to feel very welcome. Situated on a farm, there were lots of places to walk and a very good pub serving excellent food was within walking distance. The addition of coal and other fire making materials made the cottage warm and cosy once the night set in. The Dales are only a short drive away along with quaint market towns that have quirky shops and lots of cafes.

“A fabulous family holiday, great for all ages” A lovely cottage, within walking distance of alton Towers for 4 20+ year-olds. We had a lovely relaxing weekend while they were all out! Very comfortable, well-appointed and equipped. A great place to tour from (for us) and lovely local pubs serving great food and real ales.

“Wow what a find!” Our party consisted of mother, 92 and the kids, 68 and 58 and a very large dog who made himself at home immediately. The bungalow was very spacious. Fitted out to a high standard and spotlessly clean. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog or for children to play safely in. It is located only a very short walk to the park,town and shopping. Matlock is situated in an excellent position for exploring Derbyshire. Bakewell and Chatsworth are a must. The access to the lane the bungalow is obscure and tight. Care needs taking turning in and out onto the busy main road. Once at property parking and turning for cars good and despite proximity to main road it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The garden was very spacious but could be awkward for anyone with disabilities. There are a few little steps to different levels and pathways narrow though Mum managed well taking care. Wheelchair access would be difficult into the property. Had a lovely stay, wish it had been for longer. Will definitely go again and have already recommended the bungalow to my friends.
