Courtyard Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage is perfect - great amenities and very tranquil; fab location, with great walks, from the door. And a warm welcome, too. We'd love to come back.

We had a lovely weekend at Courtyard Cottage, it was very cosy and relaxing, slept really well too.

Everything we needed, pretty courtyard and gorgeous views with an outside seating area looking over the fields. The welcome basket was full of tasty treats and our hosts were so friendly and accommodating. We would definitely return

We recently stayed at Courtyard cottage and had a wonderful time.

The cottage was perfect for us and provided a comfy relaxing environment. It had everything that we needed and the shutters really helped to keep the cottage cool when it was 30 degrees outside. While it was too hot outside for us to use, the log burner would be welcomed in the cooler months. The owners were wonderful to us, especially our young daughter. It was perfectly situated from Bakewell, Castleton, Buxton and the Monsul trail all being a short drive away. Dovedale, Hartington and other white peak areas were under 40 minutes away meaning that we didn’t need to drive far. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

We have just spent 2 weeks at Courtyard Cottage.

The cottage is extremely well equipped and the owners, Helen and Gordon, who live on sight couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The cottage is in Peak Forest which is ideally placed for exploring the southern Peak District. We highly recommend this holiday cottage.

A lovely stay for my adult son and myself in this warm,cosy,well equipped country cottage with all the facilities that we needed.

Helen and Gordon who own the property were friendly and available to help if needed.We found it an ideal location for accessing walking routes in the Peaks and extensive information packs showing attractions and activities were available to view in the cottage.We would definitely book Courtyard Cottage again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Courtyard Cottage which is ideally placed for accessing the Pennine Bridleway.

The cottage was immaculately clean and very well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The stairs are steep but there is a sturdy handrail. The weather was glorious and we were able to enjoy tea on the terrace and watch drystone wallers at work. Thank you Helen for your detailed instructions, warm welcome and for the wine and biscuits etc.

Courtyard cottage was just perfect for our stay in the Peak District.

Helen and Gordon were so welcoming and from the initial booking to our arrival and throughout our stay, were so helpful and informative. We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and an immaculately clean cottage. The perfect location for lots of exploring of the surrounding areas, and brilliant directions given for finding the cottage in the first place as well as lots of local routes by car and foot. We could not recommend this cottage and these hosts enough!

We were greeted by lovely stone barns within a spacious garden area A trolley was provided to transport our luggage from the car park to the front door of the cottage.

Inside is exactly as shown in the advert with everything provided to make our weeks stay comfortable. The treads of the stairs are fairly steep although at 85 years I managed them. Bedrooms are spacious and have views over fields and woods.My only criticism involves the up and over steps to the seating are at the rear of the barn which were very steep. The owners are a very welcoming couple, helpfull but not intrusive.x

Lovely cottage with a lovely rustic charm.

Our host, Helen was really welcoming. Helen and Gordon gave us some great tips on things to do and see, and we loved their enthusiasm for Derbyshire and we particularly enjoyed the hens! Courtyard cottage was really clean with good facilities and had good WiFi. The cottage is ideally located for some great walks. Buxton and Castletown were stand out visits as well as Mam Tor and you are not too far away from Matlock and Bakewell. We also recommend Lantern Pike! The local pub, The Devonshire was friendly with good food (basic but tasty) and huge portions! We really thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Peak Forest and cannot recommend Courtyard Cottage enough.

After arriving at Courtyard cottage the owner welcomed us and was really helpful during our whole stay.

The wine, biscuits, tea, coffee, milk and condiments were really appreciated. The cottage was cosy and warm with plenty of hot water and so quiet and peaceful. There were plenty of lovley walks from the doorstep and the scenery was amazing. Would definitely recommend if you are going to the peak district.

Loved this cosy, warm, relaxing and spotlessly clean cottage.

Great WiFi,views,area and brilliant hosts who were friendly and informative .

Spotless, very well equipped, lovely location to explore the peaks.

Just a note to say not suitable for disabled may be added, but this didn't spoil our holiday. Would go again.

The perfect accommodation.

The cottage was ideally situated in the heart of the Peak District with magnificent views. The hosts had clearly made an exceptional effort to provide everything a guest could possibly need. We had a wonderful week and would highlyrecommend this lovely cottage.

A lovely stay in a comfortable, interesting property.

Very welcoming hosts. Easy access to many of the Peak District's sights and activities.

Courtyard Cottage is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, after many years of UK cottage holidays.

Helen and Gordon, the onsite owners, are lovely people- very friendly and welcoming.We appreciated Helen's invitation to help with and attend the Well Dressing celebrations in Peak Forest; the book recommendations and car appreciation chat with Gordon also added to them going out of their way to make our holiday special. The cottage is gleaming,( never seen cleaner on arrival!), spacious, characterful and well equipped, with lots of useful information. The views are stunning from the comfortable bedrooms and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sun terrace in warm weather. The house is located in a peaceful, idyllic spot, with easy access to road routes to explore this beautiful area.The friendly, free range hens were lovely to watch. For eating out, the village pub, the Devonshire Arms, was good for an evening meal and we had a tasty lunch at Tideswell Lounge in Tideswell. A fantastic place to stay- our grown up sons also enjoyed it.We will be back!

An extremely comfortable cottage, very well equipped.

Very helpful and friendly owners. In a perfect position for good walks from the door and for sightseeing in the peak district.

Lovely relaxing place to stay, very clean with everything you need provided.

Owners very helpful and welcoming. They checked too see we had everything and gave us information of the area.

Loved it - Wish we could have stayed longer Having worked in the travel business for over 25 years, I’ve seen my fair share of different accommodation (good and bad).

Courtyard Cottage ticked all the boxes for us and was certainly very good. Our first impression was the friendliness of our hosts, Helen and Gordon who couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. They gave us some great advice on where to go and what we might like to see in the area. We followed their advice and we were not disappointed. This was our first attempt at a cottage holiday…. Something we will definitely do again. The cottage was very clean (the first thing I look for in a property) and it was evident that the owners had really given careful consideration to the varied needs of guests. Everything we needed was provided. We were impressed by the care and fine attention to detail, even down to the folder with ‘how to use’ instructions for all appliances etc. I would definitely recommend Courtyard cottage as a place to stay if you want to visit the Peak District. Worth every penny and deserving of its 5-star rating with Sykes.

Helen & Gordon are very friendly and welcoming.

They included a thoughtful and delicious welcome basket on our arrival. The cottage itself is comfortable, cosy and scrupulously clean with comfy beds. The surroundings are stunning and we greeted sheep and lambs out of our window daily, together with onsite chickens. The property is situated in an area of outstanding beauty, great for walkers. We visited Mam Tor, Castleton and Lyme Park to name a few. There are lovely eateries nearby and we highly recommend, The Peak Hotel and Tilly’s Tea-room both in Castleton. We also ate at The Barrel Inn, Bretton. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay and would very much like to return.

It had everything we needed for our stay.

Helen and Gordon our hosts provided loads of ideas and we're very welcoming. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in. Not often you get a dales walk starting right outside the cottage. Brilliant.

Lovely cottage.

Cleanest I've ever stayed in. Lovely spo very friendly host. Would stay again and highly recommend.

We stayed at the cottage for two nights with two small children (Age 5 & 3).

The owners were really welcoming and helpful, sending information prior to our visit and checking in with us when we arrived. The unexpected snacks and wine were a lovely addition, and very welcome! The children loved the cottage and walking in the field behind, to see the animals. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, big enough for us all and easy to keep tidy. Beds were comfortable too. The location is good for day trips - we did Matlock Bath for Abraham's Heights and Crich tram museum, as well as Monsall and Bakewell. We would definitely visit again.

We had a lovely stay at Courtyard Cottage and it had everything we needed.

Great location with plenty of things to see and do within a short drive. The cottage itself is clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and gave lots of recommendations for things to do. The wood burner was lovely for a cold evening and the outside space was perfect for a sunny breakfast!

Courtyard Cottage is a very pretty and very clean cottage.

It was perfect to spend a few relaxing days there over the Christmas holidays. The surrounding area is great and the perfect base for a walking holiday. We felt very comfortable and had great hosts.

We enjoyed a comfortable short stay in this cosy, well equipped and very clean cottage.

Countryside views from upstairs windows and well situated for walking/exploring Mam Tor area.

The property was immaculate, very neat, clean, well maintained and fully equipped.

Very welcoming hosts and a perfect location for exploring the Peaks whatever type of break you’re looking for!
