  We had a wonderful Christmas stay at this superb cottage.

  From the moment we stepped inside, we found everything needed for a great holiday had been anticipated. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and the owners had left a welcome tray, with wine/beer, biscuits and sweets, plus fresh milk in the fridge. The kichen is extremely well equipped with a great range of dining and cookware and cosy underfloor heating morning and night. The living room was a lovely retreat at the end of the day and the clear instructions for the wood-burning stove worked very well. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable, including the sofa-bed in the snug. We noticed lots of thoughtful touches, like torches and toothbrush chargers in the bedside drawers, a basket of dog towels and dog waterbowl/toys and treats in the hall. Also games and mini juggling balls in the snug and local books in the living room. The juggling balls got more use than some of our Christmas presents! We enjoyed a short walk to the local pub and another for a couple of hours down by the river. The cottage is set in a conservation area, not far from the Peak District, though this seems quite an under-rated part of Derbyshire and lots to explore nearby. Parking is on the road, so be prepared to carry luggage down a short shared driveway, but this is clear before booking and we didn't find it a problem. Our overwhelming impression was that the owners want people to really enjoy this cottage and the local area during their stay and we certainly did!

  Super little cottage in a great location.

  We had a wonderful stay. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, A good sized bathroom with a lovely powerful shower. Plus, a super comfy bed. It was also good to be able to park right outside the property. Although, it's compact there is plenty of storage space upstairs. It was also spotlessly clean on arrival. It's situated in a great location to be able to enjoy all the wonderful industrial history (Unesco World Heritage Site which is right on the doorstep. However, if you choose, you can walk in the other direction for fantastic countryside walks with stunning scenery and views. Cromford station is only 15 mins walk away for trains to Derby and Nottingham. Or for simply travelling a few stops along the tracks and then walking back to the cottage along the Cromford Canal. All in all a great stay! We would definitely consider a return visit.

  We had a lovely weekend at Buttercup Cottage.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, the living room was cosy, especially once we got the wood burner up and running (we bought a box of kindling from up the road) and the kitchen was spacious and very well equipped. We didn’t use the garden as the weather wasn’t great but the steps up to it are steep. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well, although the downstairs one was a little stiff to turn on (reported to owners). The heating was efficient but hot during the night (again, reported to owners). The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful village with two excellent dog friendly pubs within a few minutes walk. Nice to see a few horses trotting past the window. Great location for days out too … Bakewell, Monsal Head, Monsal Trail, Thornbridge Hall to name a few. Would definitely recommend.

  Lovely holiday cottages.

  The owner left us flowers, biscuits, wine and toffees for when we arrived. There was everything we required in the cottage, even a lovely big bed, treats and poo bags for the dog. I forgot to bring coffee but there was some in the cupboard. The cottage is in a lovely village and quite central for places to visit. There is a lovely dog walk a little way from the cottage, which has lovely views. The owner has left lots of leaflets and books outlining various places of interest nearby. There also lots of books and games in the cottage to entertain guests in the evening after a long day out. The Greyhound pub is close by and very dog friendly. We had to leave early because of the terrible weather, which was a shame, just have to come back again. Angela and Ian

  A great little cottage with absolutely everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay .

  The cottage is beautifully decorated with quality fixtures and fittings, especially the Pete McKee print. The log burner is a must on a cold evening, although be warned the cost of logs was extortionate in the village, definitely take your own. A beautiful welcome pack greeted us and helpful advice from Chris regarding directions and how everything works was welcome . The heating was popped on for when we arrived too. Some beautiful walks by the canal, busy on a weekend though and The Greyhound and The Boat Inn were warm and welcoming. Can highly recommend the Cheese Shop at Cromford Mills and a walk to Matlock and Matlock Bath . Thank you to Chris and Jon for sharing their beautiful cottage. Jenny
