  Fantastic place in.

  A beautiful village. Very easy to find and great local areas. We arrived and we’re greeted by Simon who was working outside. Very friendly then later we’re treated properly by the host who was friendly and lovely. Great fresh eggs on arrival which was a lovely touch. The cottage/lodge was lovely and quaint. Bathroom was a little tight but absolutely fine. Kitchen was well equipped even with washer and dryer so. The garden which was ours was to the side of the property was beautiful and well kept. No gate tho which at first made me worried but even if you have a pooch that will rub out its perfection safe as it’s a private road /entrance to the house so I was at ease. Just be careful when washing up as the sink is solid and we accident it broke a glass which the host was very understanding and told me not to worry. Literally the main thing I wouldn’t recommend which is coming from someone who relys on tech is that the tv needs a chrome cast or some casting device so you can turn the tv into a smart tv and cast from your phone on a evening or if staying in the lodge. I worked from home a few half days while there and would of found it easier. Overall great beautiful lodge in a lovely area !

  Beautiful, modern, and well decorated cottage in a fabulous location.

  It has a lovely comfy bed with quality bedding, everything you require to stay in and cook, the welcome pack (milk, bread, choc-o-pains, butter, jam, coffee and tea) was appreciated, and even treats for our dog and towels to dry her when she came back wet from romping in the fields. Luxury toiletries in the bathroom, lots of fluffy towels and a bonus of an outdoor courtyard area to sit out and enjoy the rays. Even books, games and maps were provided and Netflix for those rainy times. The cottage is on a busy road, which can be noisy especially during the day, but the most of the time we were out exploring and there is no parking, but we managed to park for free on a quiet and safe street just up the road. Ashbourne is a gorgeous town, with lots of fabulous countryside right on the doorstep. We enjoyed lots of walks with our dog, visited Bakewell, Tissington, Ilam and scoffed and troffed in many of the local eateries and cafes. There was even a brass band playing in the local park. The locals were all friendly and had time to chat. Would we visit again - most definitely, would we stay at this little home away from home - YES! But ssshhhhhh, don't tell everyone as we want to return.

  Although the apartment looked nice, we were extremely disappointed in some aspects.

  First upon entering, it was freezing as no heating was on, it took most of the evening to get to a decent temperature. While unpacking we found a dirty towel stuffed in a bedside draw, and had to wash most kitchen items before use. The extractor fan didn’t work efficiently so cooking was extremely difficult as the kitchen would fill with either steam or smoking and we risked setting the fire alarm off. The biggest disappointment was noise. The windows despite being double glazed provided no protection from sound at all. While trying to watch tv, the sound of traffic drowned out the volume and made it impossible, if being considerate to our neighbours to watch anything. The amount of traffic going through the town at night was enormous. Consequently sleep was broken every night with the sound of deliveries being drag around on trollies, Lorrie’s bumping along the bad roads, conversations of people walking in the street etc. it was an absolute nightmare. I would not stay in this cottage again!

  Thanks for the stay at Midway.

  Albeit the weather was extremely wet. Generally, a good cottage with some issues that need sorting. I suspect that the following points were exacerbated due the change of seasons and would not have been apparent during the summer months. The upstairs shower is leaking and has been for some time. The ceiling at the bottom of the stairwell is marked and water drips through onto the stair carpet. There are patches mould growing around the house and needs attention. The worst case is inside the underbed draw in the downstairs bedroom. There are three different modes of heating in the cottage and as many electric underfloor heating controls. The instructions for the three types of heating were available but too complicated and we couldn't be bothered with them. The heating come on at random times but insufficient to do it's intended job. I venture to suggest that this is a contributing factor to the growth of mould. Mattress protectors would be good investment.

  Lovely week stay at Midway.

  Kitchen fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, fridge has a 3 freezer drawers. Beds and seating in lounge very comfy. Both settees in the lounge are electric recliners with handy built in charging points. Underfloor heating nice and cosy once we worked out how to use it , great log burner. Only thing we missed was that there are no wardrobes in any bedrooms but plenty of hooks on the back of downstairs doors to hang clothes. The ample draw storage does make up for the space if you don't mind folding clothes for storage . Had a slight issue that was nobody's fault that was responded to immediately by a call to Julie and sorted in 10 minutes, a clear sign of a good, caring, and responsive host. A car is a must to get out and about. A welcome pack with local information etc would be helpful as would instructions for the different heating controls. Thank you for a lovely stay.
