• "We had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Church View."

  It is well placed for lots of activities and close to beautiful countryside. The cottage is particularly good for children with lots of toys and games provided and a large garden. It is also a quiet location with a popular pub nearby. The cottage was well equipped and with a good range of info. It might benefit from a little bit of investment but I think this is fairly reflected in the price and we found it comfy. Would say that although the heating was fine in the mornings, it never really came on at 17.00 due to the thermostat settings. This is OK if you don’t mind firing up the wood burner which makes the living room really cosy. Plenty of fuel was provided for this and the kids loved it but this might put me off going there in winter.

• "A quirky, comfortable cottage."

  There is everything you would expect and the cottage is well kept, if a little dated, as has been said previously. The village is small, with good walking routes from the cottage and the pub does good food and has friendly staff.

  Thank you for comments, Glad to welcome you earlier than check in time, Pleased that you had a good stay. Property Owner

• "This is a nice holiday cottage, not modern but in keeping with the surroundings."

  The bus is extremely convenient almost o/s the door. We used it on three occasions in 6 days. The local pub is handy the food though is well ???. All the pubs in the area are reasonably but you need to book. The owner seems very nice although I haven't met her. She was very helpful. Derbyshire is very picturesque.

• "This visit was our 'fourth' stay at 'Church view' within three years and once again - we as a couple - enjoyed everything about the cottage - it's location within beautiful Derbyshire and nearby Staffordshire countryside,."

  With it's rolling green hills and narrow lanes,. and the cottages spacious gardens which is a delight to sit and relax with just the sound of birds - sheep and the hourly strike of the church bells.// Very well equipped with everything supplied that guests might need over their stay. The cottage is spacious inside with rooms and all equipment and utensils to cater for visitors of all ages. We would not hesitate to visit again as there is always some new footpath or village to discover.

• "We loved every minute of our week at Church View, from the generous and thoughtful welcome pack that included home-baked goodies, to finding milk and eggs in the fridge, to the clean, tidy, and charming cottage itself."

  The peaceful and beautifully laid out garden completed the package. Parking on the property was available, but we chose to park in the street with no issues. Our host Lynda initiated contact before we arrived and was in touch throughout. We felt both at home, and supported as guests. The kitchen was well appointed with all the items we needed, everything worked and was clean. The location of the cottage was ideal for us, with easy access to lovely walks of various lengths and difficulties (helpful maps and guides were provided), 5 minutes stroll to the pub, and close enough to Buxton and other attractions to be convenient, yet rural enough not to be overcrowded over the May bank holiday weekend. We did not have children with us but the cottage was ideal for them. The large enclosed garden provided plenty of space to play outside, and with two sitting rooms even rainy days would be good days as there were games, puzzles, books, CDs, DVDs, and TV on hand, as well as facilities for babies/toddlers including stair gates and a cot. Since the bedrooms are all upstairs, and the drive is gravelled, persons with mobility difficulties may struggle with access, though we all as "seniors" had no problems. We will be back, and we definitely recommend Church View.

  Thankyou so much for your positive review, lovely to hear that you had such a happy time. at Church View. It is my old family home, so it is always rewarding to dee people enjoying it, kind regards Lynda. . Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay, very comfy and cosy, the children loved the garden with all the ornaments and fairy door."

  Very well equipped cottage, lots of nice little touches for the children such as kids bedding, fairy lights, books, games. Cottage in need of some renovation and oven wasn't great, although hob was fine, but didn't affect our stay. Pub in the village was really accomodating for the kids and the playground in the village was also really good. Overall had a great time.

  All the facilities are excellent and the log fire was extra special at making us all cosy after our long days exploring the Peaks. We really appreciated our welcome hamper, which was full of yummy goodies and considering it was my husbands 40th and Easter, the treats were very much welcomed. The location is excellent with local attractions and towns not too far away, which when you have kids who don’t like long journeys was a major plus. We highly recommend Church View to anyone, it has everything you could ask for and more. We would definitely love to come and stay again to explore the Peaks some more. Thank you for having us and making us feel very at home.

• "Cosy little cottage."

  Lovely log burner with plenty of logs. The owner was lovely and left washing up liquid and cloths and there was some tea and coffee and some lovely treats. It was very cold when we stayed with temperatures just above freezing. There was strict instructions not to mess with the heating settings. The heating didn’t come on until 6.30 pm. As it got dark at 4 pm we were coming to the cottage in freezing temperatures. The beds were not comfortable. Although the furnishings met our needs it didn’t give us the feel of walking into somewhere luxury or nice. For the price it was disappointing.

  Sorry that you were cold, during your stay. I did advise to contact us with any queries or problems encountered, this would have been preferable to highlighting this in the review.,when it is too late to offer help. As you will understand,central heating is a petsonal preference, and cannot be left to guests operationor We would quickly be out of business. Ample logs are always provided with the very efficient burner. Kind regards, Lynda. Property Owner

  The welcome pack was lovely and the fire every evening was great and so easy to use and we found the bed very comfortable. We used the bus a couple of times to go to Buxton and Ashbourne very easy to do with the stop outside the property! Plenty of walking and pubs nearby although the ground is a bit wet at this time of year. We would definitely stay again but more likely May/June when we could enjoy the garden. There was only 2 of us but the property would have been great for us as a family when our children were younger!

  I have already sent a message to her ,the beds were uncomfortable the double was noisey when ever you moved so if one of us got uo in the night it would have disturbe the other we tried single beds one you could feel the springs ,we notice wood lice in the living room and one of the glasses had a chip and crack in it

  Thank you for your feedback. Sorry that you found the double bed uncomfortable; everyone has a different preference and others have found it comfortable but it is subjective. As for a chipped glass, I apologise! Wood lice tend to find their way in during Autumn in a country cottage, as do spiders etc. I can assure you that I vacuum behind my sofas each week. I hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise but perhaps a cottage in the country is not for you. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed a lovely and peacefully quiet stay at Church View, and would have enjoyed the lovely gardens had the weather been better!"

  It's great for kids, having various toys, books and games in the cottage, and it was great to have a proper cot in the cot room, rather than just a travel cot. It is a convenient location for exploring the White Peak/Derbyshire Dales area of the Peak District. We were let down by the washing machine not working, and as a family with a toddler using reusable nappies, we specifically choose holiday cottages with washing machines. Having handwashed the first load in the bath, the host washed the next 2 loads for us. Having read through the reviews again, it appears the washing machine has been out of action since at least April, and given the age of the machine it isn't surprising it's taking this long to get the part. I would suggest it either needs replacing, or removing from the list of facilities (although the host did say it was due to be fixed or replaced on the day we left, so this is something that should be confirmed before anyone books this cottage who needs a washing machine). In terms of issues raised by other people, we did not experience any issues with the WIFI, which worked well throughout our stay. The double bed was comfy, if somewhat bouncy, meaning you felt whenever the other person moved! The curtains are definitely thin, so let in a lot of light, however there are blackout blinds in the cot room as well, so it's not an issue in that room. The drive is difficult to get into, but was possible with our estate car; as others, and the hosts, have mentioned there are plenty of on street parking options. The radiators worked fine for us, and in fact got too hot to touch at times, so we turned a lot of them down, which mostly solved the problem.

  Washing machine replaced with brand new one as promised on Friday that you left. We Cant please everyone with every little detail, but we do our very best. Heating is a difficult one, As everyone had a different requirement . The drive is tight due the, cottage being well over a hundred years old, and it has to be accepted that it is small. Most people park without a problem, It is also safe to park outside the cottage. Property Owner

• "I would love to have given a higher rating to this accommodation than I have but I think its important to keep the feedback as honest as possible as I always take into account feedback left by others when choosing a holiday destination."

  The location of the property can not be faulted and the well maintained garden and outside setting is ideal. Also the lovely gifts left by the owner were a pleasant surprise. The problem was the lack of maintenance inside cracked tiles both in the kitchen and bathroom also one of the kitchen chairs is very wobbly and requires attention. The washing machine not working could be a major issue if you have young children. According to previous feedback this has been ongoing for at least five months. The TV in the bedroom isn't working and even the DVD on it fails to read any discs. For me no toilet brush in either the indoor or outdoor WC is a serious omission, and an easy and inexpensive one to remedy in fact we bought one ourselves locally for £4.99. It is a shame as most of the problems could be fixed with a little TLC and very little cash. Would I book this property again? As it stands today probably not but if the items mentioned above where sorted and a good maintenance program put in place then yes I would as it sits in such a beautiful area.

  Thanks, A cracked tile here and there in old cottage, has to be accepted and Im sure doesn't affect your holiday in any way Tv signal in the hills can be unpredictable. . We do not provide a loo brush, as I find them extremely unhygienic, particularly as I am the one that has to face the unclean brush. The toilet is left spotless, with cleaner provided.

  The cottage was comfortable and very clean and had everything that you needed for your stay, with one exception - the washing machine was out of order - which although is not essential for a lot of people, was a nuisance for us as we particularly choose holiday properties that have one in order to deal with extra washing generated by our disabled son. However, we enjoyed our stay - the garden at the cottage is lovely and if you are after a peaceful and relaxing time then Church View has it all.

• "This was our third stay at 'Church view',."

  within a span of 13 months., so it is obvious that we enjoy everything about the cottage,. and in particular the large and beautiful gardens. One can laze in the sunshine with just the sounds of birds and occasional passing tractor, and the hourly chime of the church clock to remind you it's time for another cuppa'. It is an ideal and spacious property suited to just a couple or a larger family,. everything guests would ever need for a stay is supplied and the owner kindly leaves a 'welcome pack' of varying 'goodies' to start you off. Timed central heating and a log burner stove ensures cosy evenings. The whole of the surrounding countryside is stunning with nearby walks and quaint unspoilt villages for exploring. Biggin and the most lovely cottage itself is the ideal location for anyone wishing to take a stay in the area.

The welcoming Coronation-themed refreshments from Lynda and Robin were much appreciated after our journey. It was our first visit to Biggin and we found it quiet and perfectly placed for local walks, as well as for easy access to the nearby A515 for explorations further afield in the beautiful Peak District. (We found parking on the drive fine for our smallish car once we got used to it, but there is plentiful on street parking for those with larger vehicles or who would find reversing round the bend in the drive tricky).

All the double glazed units have failed, a long time ago, so your view through the windows is one through condensation stained glass so it looks dirty and cannot be cleaned as the marks are inside the double glazed units The curtain rail in the small single bedroom was hanging off the wall In terms of fire safety all the bedrooms and one reception room are inner rooms and the twin room is and inner inner room.

Close access from the cottage to lovely walks and trails - 'Biggin dale' and 'Wolfescote dale' and a track to 'Hartington' are all easy and nearby walking.

• "The cottage was very traditional and spacious enough with a new boiler and a nice garden but there were some definite areas of improvement needed."

  The WIFI or rather the internet connection had a fault and was unreliable sometimes working and sometimes not. This is very important when you have no mobile signal and you have to book tickets for places we wanted to visit. We missed out on some due to this. Raised the fault with the owner who responded but it did not get fixed. The TV signal was poor meaning hardly any channels worked not even the radio channels. A freesat dish would be better to get a decent signal in this area. The adult bed was a double which is too small to fit two adults on it and the length was also small meaning ankles hanging over the edge. We had to swap with the kids but their mattresses were uncomfortable and you could feel the springs coming through. Back ache every morning and not a goods nights sleep. Some new mattresses needed and potential a larger one for the adults. Some of the curtain rails were broken and hanging off the walls. There was also curtains missing from one of the windows which let sunlight in early in the morning. Similar situation with the book shelves. The drive way is very narrow and the plants overgrown around this area. Reverse parking required a lot of skill each time. We were warned about this but there was nowhere else to park and the property is listed as having parking. Lots of other general upkeep things like waste pipes leaking outside when the bath is in use. The property could to with some maintenance carried out. Welcome pack of cake, biscuits etc was nice and appreciated after our long drive to the property. Comments left here are to be used as constructive to help the owner improve the property for others.

  It's a very old cottage and very well equipped. A lovely generous welcome pack awaited us.The log burner is great. The central heating was on a timer but only for a couple of hours in the morning, so if you wanted a lie in it was off by about 9.30. It was about the same time in the evening, it came on about 6.45 till about 9.00. This is fine as you have the log fire, but rest of cottage is cold. It would be nice to have the option of a boost, but I realise some may abuse that. The stairs are steep, and may not suit elderly people. There also was an abundance of extension leads plugged in. The kitchen did smell slightly damp. There does seem to be a lot of clutter in the cupboards but there is everything you need. Wi fi is good, no mobile signal, though there is a phone box just over the road there is no phone and not been for many years. I do seem to have pointed out a few negatives but we had a lovely time. There are plenty of walks from the door. The walks to Milldale and Wolfscote are very nice. The Tissington trail is a flat easy walk. Hulme end to Wetton mill is also very pleasant.

  Cottage was cosy and had excellent facilities. Nice homely touches and generous welcome pack and pretty vase of flowers. Garden was huge too.

• "Great cottage, owner was wonderful and had gone over and above on providing everything we could need plus some extras on top."

  Great position close to lovely walking country. Cottage is set in a beautiful garden in a very pleasant village. We are veterans of many trips to Derbyshire and many cottages but this is the best equipped we have ever had. Will definitely return.

• "We had a lovely holiday, even though the weather wasnt great, we had a mix of rain and sun and wind."

  We specifically chose the area for the proximity to various cycle routes, Monsal Trail, High Peak Trail, Carsington Water and Tissington trail which is right round the corner to the cottage, no driving needed, the location is fantastic, you are close to everything. The village has a lovely friendly pub which serves nice food and the there is a restaurant, Biggin Hall which serves fantastic food. You are also round the corner from Hartington which has shops and pubs etc. A massive plus point for this cottage is that the owner is incredibly thoughtful, there are side tables (a particular bug bear of mine when cottages dont have enough of these), washing machine, clothes horse, iron, proper ironing board, logs for the fire (more available in conservatory at reasonble cost), lots of blankets and throws, a pouffe (another bug bear of mine in holiday cottages is the lack of being able to put your feet up), a lovely welcome pack of cakes, bread, milk and eggs. A massive massive bonus is the ability to store the bikes safely, there is a garage here that you can put them in to keep them safe. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. Its actually a 3 bed, you could easily put a baby in the small 3rd cot room. It has two living rooms. But we felt that the cottage probably suffers from damp in the kitchen and the radiators didnt really work in that they only got lukewarm. We used the fire which was more than adequate for the evenings but in the mornings as you're getting ready to go out/having breakfast we didnt want to light a fire and then have to leave it when we went out so it was chilly. Although we didnt use them, the cottage has large gardens, in warmer weather I can imagine them being beautiful to sit out of an evening watching the sun set.

  If you are expecting boutique hotel style, forget this property. If,on the other hand, you want olde world charm, cosiness and character, this is for you. Lovely location, plenty of places in the area to visit and a pub down the road...what’s not to like. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.....the icing on the cake, as it were!!

• "The cottage is very well appointed and we were very comfortable."

  The owners had lit the fire for us which was very welcome as we arrived in the cold dark and rain. Another nice touch was a welcome basket of biscuits and cake. The village is in an ideal location to explore this area of the Peak district with some really good walks along the river Dove and into Hartington. The local pub was very welcoming and we enjoyed Sunday lunch after a walk around the village and the Tissington trail. A thoroughly enjoyable break in a fantastic little cottage in lovely gardens. The owners obviously take pride in the cottage and pay plenty of attention to detail to make the stay as enjoyable as possible

• "What a lovely well appointed and thought through cottage - felt like a genuine home."

  A delightful welcome pack greeted us and the log burner was set up ready to go. Plenty of small thoughtfull things that can often be missed in a more 'stripped down' holiday let were present - hand soap, kitchen roll, a tea towel, cleaning materials on hand, bin bags available and so on - the basics were all in place for you to top up for the next visitors. The kitchen was fully equipped. It was lovely to sit in the garden on a comfy chair in the sun and listen to the Church Bells. We accessed the Tissington Trail a very short bike ride (less than 5 mins) on one road from the Cottage - spot on!

  There is easy access to the Tissington Trail and great walks at Dovedale and Monsal Head are only a short car journey away. The cottage is made to feel very home-from-home and is set up very well for young children. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone thinking of a comfortable stay in the Peak District.

  It is a big cottage but the central heating failed to keep the property warm. We had to use a fan heater most of the time, which was provided. With the onset of chilly mornings, the heating controls need to be reset to come on earlier.

• "The owner provided a most thoughtful welcome of home baked cakes,bread,milk and spread upon arrival."

  The cottage is clean,tidy,comfortable and well positioned to explore the mines and caverns and shops, giving a short drive to Bakewell, Buxton, Castleton, Ashbourne, Chatsworth and Keddleston. The tissington trail is literally on the doorstep and monsail is close by as well for the walkers. The garden is large and sunny for evenings to relax in. The cottage has central heating and a wood-burner for the winter walkers, and a bath with shower over. The Waterloo pub is popular with the locals and provides a friendly atmosphere and good ‘home cooked’ food, next to the pub, Biggin Hall is located and provides a more up market setting for finer dining. The owner provides linen and towels a starter of loo rolls and electricity. There is a new electric oven,microwave,dishwasher and washing machine. Iron and ironing board. A plentiful supply of mugs,cups,glasses pans and utensils. The lounge has a small TV and DVD player(not blue ray) good selection of board and garden games. The cottage has a small room with a cot,baby monitor and changing mat for the young family with a fixed child gate at the top of the stairs together with a second child gate which can be placed anywhere. There is a second outside loo which is very handy. I have stayed in many cottages throughout the country over the years and can say that the thoughtfulness and care of the owner for her guests is evident throughout the cottage, I would highly recommend it.

  In the morning there was often a cockerel crowing and the church bells ringing - but neither of them too loudly! Great property and the gardens were perfect for our 5 year old to run about in.
