  The view from the living room window is beautiful and you can see for miles. It was a quiet lane with no noise. We would recommend it as a great place to stay.

  We spent a delightful week at The Old Chapel which has been thoughtfully restored and is a compact, well-equipped and cosy place to stay. It has everything you need for a short break and is located in a beautiful spot with far-reaching views. Despite the weather, we managed to get out every day and see plenty of interesting places, of which there are many within easy reach. The owners, Mary and Stuart are a lovely, friendly and helpful couple who were usually accompanied by several chickens and dogs whenever we saw them! Thank you both for making our stay memorable. Next time we visit we'll bring some sunshine :-)

• "We loved The Old Chapel."

  It was as cute and cosy as we hoped. Nice touches such as a recliner sofa, a starter pack of wood for the burner, homemade Bakewell tarts and the fairy lights on the beams really made it. The only thing that stopped me giving a full 5 stars was the bed. On the first night although the bed looked and smelled clean, we noticed several bits of long dark hair on the sheet, these couldn't have been ours. On the bed itself was a sprung mattress. We found it very disturbing to each other as the smallest movement from one of us, caused the whole mattress to move and wake the other of us. We thought it was like sleeping on a trampoline! We are used to sleeping on a memory foam mattress which deadens movement between the two sides but this one seemed extremely so springy! Other than that we loved our stay. We also appreciated that out host, Mary who lived next door, was really lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome.

The cottage itself has wonderful character, the bed is super comfy, and the views from the patio are stunning, with easy access to many attractions locally. We would specifically recommend Crich Tramway Village, made to look like an old county cobbled village with vintage trams running all day. We will definitely recommend to friends, and will rebook ourselves!

• "The cottage is in a rural setting, remote from the hustle and bustle of every day life."

  It has a a panoramic view of the Amber valley and the wildlife on tap is a dream for nature lovers. The cottage itself is very cosy with all mod cons and a patio alongside, where you can enjoy the view and fresh air when the weather is fine. The Derbyshire Dales have something for everyone from quaint villages to busy little towns steeped in history.

• "We have just returned from a weeks break at the old chapel."

  What a lovely place in a spectacular location. Stuart and Mary are very nice people they made us feel very welcome especially with the little extra touches, wine, milk flowers and Bakewell tarts on arrival. We will definitely be trying to return in the future.

• "We had a brilliant and comfortable stay at the Old Chapel."

  The cottage was extremely well-equipped and Mary was very welcoming, supplying some home baked Bakewell puddings and a nice bottle of wine for our first evening. The cottage was in a great location for exploring Derbyshire and the Peak District and was a really nice place to return to after a day out on the hills. We had a great few days at the Old Chapel and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it!

• "The cottage went beyond expectation, the views were outstanding."

  The cottage had everything we needed and some very special extra touches like flowers and a welcome pack, bath foam, fairy lights, home cooked cake, wine, milk, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc etc that other self catering places we have had to provide ourselves, even binoculars to watch the birds on the feeding station outside. The little garden with outdoor furniture was another special feature overlooking a magnificent view. I can't thank the owners, Mary and Stuart, enough for all they did to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The setting is amazing with pretty villages and walks around and driving distance of all Derbyshire has to offer. I just hope when we want to book again that it isn't full up as it's bound to get many repeat bookings.
