Guests say
Hunters Lodge receives high praise for its stunning location, high-standard decor, and excellent facilities, including a well-maintained hot tub. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like robes and slippers, and the property's suitability for families and pets. Some concerns are noted about the bumpy access track and bed sizes, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive experiences.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as immaculate, with daily hot tub maintenance and attention to detail. One mention of spiders does not significantly impact the overall high standards of cleanliness observed by guests.
The cottage's beautiful and peaceful setting in the countryside is highly valued, with easy access to walks. The challenging access road is a recurring theme but does not detract from the location's overall appeal.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a social open-plan layout and good sleep quality. Some feedback suggests that larger beds would enhance comfort, indicating room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and social spaces. However, issues with Wi-Fi, a leaky radiator, and induction hob compatibility suggest some maintenance concerns.
While guests mention appreciating robes, slippers, and a welcome pack, there is not enough information to determine if these are consistent offerings or one-off gestures. Therefore, it is politely noted that such thoughtful gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. There is a thriving local music and arts scene and the town hosts an annual Arts festival every May as well as Winter and Summer Food festivals and a monthly Farmers Market. The nearby historical village of Wirksworth is also home to a well-established Art and Architecture trail and Arts Festival every September. Just 10 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! The award-winning town of Belper provides holidaymakers with an excellent base for all that Derbyshire has to offer.

Angie
The three properties are very close together, which is a problem when the weather is nice enough to be outside and you can hear other people's music and their conversations. There were spiders everywhere, especially the two bathrooms. Very little toilet paper was left and we had to go and buy some, which just seems mean. We all found the beds a bit uncomfortable, especially the pillows. I could go on.... All in all, quite a negative experience, especially considering how much we paid.

Fab location as youâre in the countryside but not too far from anything. Nice walks that you can go out straight from the house. Itâs the perfect layout for toddlers too, stair gate, highchair & travel cot all set up before we arrived. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The outside area was well thought out with outdoor seating for relaxing, a hot tub and a dining area. We were lucky with the weather it was warm and sunny, so we were able to take advantage of the many walks directly outside the Lodge, or relax in the outside area and listen to the birds, no traffic noises to disturb you. The owners left a book with useful info as well as being pleasant and helpful. We have no complaints only compliments for a fabulous week at Hunters Lodge. Sue and family
