"My wife and I visited The Den on our mini-moon in the Peak District The place was comfortable, clean, and well equipped with high quality furnishings and amenities We enjoyed the use of the hot tub and appreciated how accessible and private everything was Karl was so kind and understanding even despite a mistake we made with the TV."
Thanks for the great stay! We will be recommending and likely to come back

"We had a really lovely stay and Karl was an excellent host right down to the chilled Prosecco and fresh flowers."
The only reason we’ve given 4 stars and not 5 is that, for us, we would have preferred a slightly more comfortable sofa (it seemed to be more “occasional seating” and we found sitting for an evening was not the most relaxing). The other thing was the slightly limited clothes hanging space and somewhere to put bulky outdoor coats etc. where they didn’t keep falling off the hooks! We are NOT nitpicking but hope you appreciate us drawing these things to your attention. All of the other facilities were of excellent quality, and everything you could possibly want was provided - even down to an air fryer. We so enjoyed our brief stay. Hot tub was lovely. Thank you.

"We really enjoyed our stay in this well kept, well equipped quiet location."
The welcome pack of flowers and Prosecco was a lovely touch. As was the supply of milk, coffee and tea. The hot tub was relaxing after a day's walk in the countryside. We would stay again

"We had a lovely time at The Den and Karl was very friendly and welcoming!"
Couldn't have asked for a better stay!
It’s easy to be a “friendly and welcoming” host when we receive such lovely guests, so thanks for your very kind words! Property Owner

"A short break booked last minute for a birthday gift."
The place was amazing and the host Karl was to, he is available all of the time but does not intrude he's physic I think, he showed us how to get in and out of the hottub of which I was very worried, but we needn't have it was amazing and helped or arthritis no end. The place it's self ours being the Den was 5star plus even to the point of asking a friend who travels alot to name something ( always something she needs lol) she could not!! From a sieve to grater there is everything!!! On arrival there was also a bottle of bubbles, flowers tea coffee etc even milk in fridge. Everything about the break was 5* thanku Karl
It was lovely hosting you two Channtel, so thanks very much for the lovely feedback! Property Owner

"Lovely peaceful setting, and a lovely owner who greeted us and showed us around when we arrived."
Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen area and the hot tub was great. We may well be back to try one of the other properties!
What a really kind review Donna, which makes all the hard work from everyone so worthwhile. Thank you! Property Owner

"I think we were expecting a bit more privacy."
It felt a little awkward sitting in the hot tub with the owners home overlooking, visitors to the owner also pulled up right next to where we were sat in the hot tub. The French doors at the back of the den need some privacy blinds. Leaky shower and the sofa in living room was very uncomfortable. We had till 10am to vacate the den but the owner was in the back yard from 7am cleaning the hot tub. Lovely place and lovely host. Just not for us unfortunately.
Thanks for taking time to provide feedback Jade, and I’m truly disappointed The Den was not for you. Apologies also for making a start on preparing the hot tub before you’d left, I was having a rare day out from 9.00am, and should have shown you the courtesy of asking the day before if this would be acceptable. From a privacy point of view, I did point out that the wind-out awning completely covered the tub, however, I appreciate you’d have liked more. We’ve had no complaints about the sofa (which is less than a year old) or about the shower, and I did walk the cottage before I showed you around and there no evidence of a leak, but will enquire with current guests about this, and if you can give me a steer on the leak that would be a help. There are some comings and goings around the farm, however the deck is screened by a 2 metre fence to mitigate this, and previous guests have never mentioned the need for blinds on the French doors onto the deck, but I’m going to embrace your point and see if we can get some integral blinds fitted directly onto the two panes of glass. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts. Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Just had a wonderful holiday in Derbyshire staying in the Den at Bank Top Farm."
We were made to feel very welcome even before the holiday when we spoke to Karl on the phone. Karl was there to meet us with a handshake on arrival and showed us around, we felt very looked after and he even had a complimentary chilled bottle of bubbly waiting for us. The cottage is a lovely base from which to explore the area, then return to a great hot tub and BBQ. The bed is comfortable and there is a lot of attention to detail throughout the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I'm sure we'll be back!
Thanks for such wonderful feedback, Wendy. I’m so pleased you guys enjoyed yourselves. Do stay in touch with me won’t you! Property Owner

"Karl was an amazing host."
Nothing was too much trouble. We had a bottle of fizz waiting for us as we arrived which I thought was a lovely touch. The place was clean and had everything you need. Attention to detail was spot on even down to having a fresh pint of milk waiting for us. Highly recommend Jayne and Scott

"We had the most incredible short break at The Den."
The accommodation was absolutely stunning, well equipped and so clean. The hot tub was also a big hit! We can’t thank the wonderful host Karl enough for making our stay so special. The personal greeting and little extras that Karl provided just added the icing to the cake and what was a wonderful little holiday. Can’t wait to come back! Jodie and Richie
We loved hosting you both Jodie. Thank you for the lovely words, which really do motivate us to keep moving forward with the Cottages. Property Owner

"Me and my partner stayed at the Den and it was lovely."
There was everything you needed, it was spotless on arrival & really cosy! The hot tub was great too. It is in a beautiful location, the booklet kept at the property provided us with things to do, places to eat and takeaways etc. The owner Karl was very attentive and made us feel welcome.
It was lovely meeting you both Georgina. Do come again! Property Owner

"The Den is a cosy and lovely place to stay!"
We absolutely loved what they did with place. Everything that I expected and more. The hot tub was a hit with me and partner, we enjoyed spending our time in there and relaxing. Karl was an amazing host and provided us with a guide which was very helpful and informative. We used it all the time which was great, as we didn’t know the area. We’re already planning our next visit to Bank Top Farm!
Thanks Teerith for the wonderful review. We loved hosting you! Property Owner

"It was our first time at The Den and we wasn’t disappointed one bit."
We were met by Karl who was very proud of his property and pointed out the complimentary bottle of Prosecco and flowers before explaining everything we needed to know including how to work the hot tub. The area is so peaceful yet there is plenty to do within a few miles away. We really only went to chill out and relax for the week so spent most of our time in The Den and even though it’s not a huge place we felt very comfortable and at home. I can definitely recommend the place and will return
Hi Dene, Thanks for such kind words. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we look forward to hosting you again! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Absolutely superb stay!"
Karl and his "crew" have an absolute gem and are excellent in everything you can think of in your stay. Christine and I had a 3-night break and it was total rest and relaxation. The accommodation is top notch, facilities second to none and the hot tub was the highlight...a total indulgence! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed talking to Karl as we were leaving...a nice touch, as he asked if anything could be added or we had any ideas on improvements. We would definitely recommend the break and the site for a relaxing getaway from the stresses of everyday life and look forward to our next visit! Keep up the good work Karl 'n' the Gang...5*****
Thanks for the amazing review Peter. We loved hosting you and Christine and really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback! Property Owner

"Wonderful place to stay."
This was our first break away for 5 years and booked this cottage on the strength of its recommendations and reviews. They were not wrong. Hot tub was lovely, clean and well maintained. Kitchen area was spotless as well as the bathroom. We didn't have any plans made about what to see and do however the folder left in the cottage gave us a few pointers and off we went. Local pubs were great and we would recommend 'The Shoulder of Mutton' as a great place for food. For visiting places Ashbourne was a nice town and make sure you visit Chatsworth House and Kedleston Hall. Not to mention Alton towers. Top notch service and support by Karl and Pip - thanks to you both. We hope to see you again soon.
Michael, Your feedback is so very much appreciated. I’m so pleased your much needed holiday was with us! Regards, Karl Property Owner

"We stayed in The Den, Bank Top Farm in Mid August."
We were met by Karl upon arrival, who was very welcoming and showed us around. The property is really nice and modern with everything you could want, the Hot hub was fantastic, clean, and relaxing. It was checked twice a day by Karl. We took our bikes and Karl kindly lent us a bike lock as well to secure the bikes. We had some amazing food during our stay at nearby Ashbourne, at the George and Dragon, Greenman, and Bowling Green, all can be recommended. Overall a great place to stay, recommended!
We really enjoyed having you and well done for getting out on your bikes. With several repurposed railway lines close by, there’s so much flat, safe riding. Thanks also for the feedback; new, bigger awning fitted to provide cover over the tub! Property Owner
-

"We came to the den for a little getaway from everyday life and to celebrate our engagement and it was just perfect."
Karl the host greeted us on arrival with flowers and Prosecco and showed us around the den. The den had everything we could need and more. Karl even helped us out with a phone charger when ours stopped working. Honestly the den was just amazing and so was Karl. It was perfect from start to finish and we can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to come back again and tell our family and friends about it too.
Hi Shauna, So lovely to meet you both and amazing that you chose Bank Top Farm and The Den for such an important celebration! Please do stay in touch and thank you so much for you kind feedback. Regards, Karl (Helen & Pip) Property Owner

We had a great weekend, the location is so quiet and peaceful and everything entices you to relax, including the loungers! There is so much to see and do in the local area, Dovedale stepping stones is beautiful and well worth a trip out. Thank you Karl for being an amazing host

"WOW, What can we say."
Karl made us so Welcome, It was a lovely gesture with Wine & Flowers, The Den accommodation was immaculate You could not wish for a nicer place to stay with quality equipment , everything was thought off. Hot tub was a added bonus after a long day out it was most welcoming. If you looking for a quiet place to stay then look no further. Bank Top Farm is set in Beautiful surroundings so close to the Peaks. The owners are a Lovely Family, What else do you need just lay back & enjoy. We will be back.
Hi Colin, It was a pleasure to host you and Julie at The Den. Thanks so much for the feedback, which is a real motivator.

"We had a fantastic stay at the Den, at Bank Top Farm."
Karl, the owner has gone above and beyond to provide everything you would need for a relaxing week away. We were out walking/cycling most days and on returning to the Den the Hot Tub was an added bonus to relieve our aches and pains from so much exercise. Karl met us on the day we arrived and went through how to use everything, we even had a bottle of Prosseco that was chilling, ready for us. The only minor negative point is we didn't find the sofa particularly comfortable for 2 people to sit on, but would still give this property 10 out of 10 as everything else was perfect. Thank you Karl for making our week away perfect!
Hi Angela, Thanks so much for your kind feedback and great score. Not had any previous feedback on this sofa, but I'm going to look into it further to see what can be done. Do stay in touch! Karl Property Owner

"This hot tub cottage is set in a lovely rural setting and close to all facilities."
Ashbourne and the Tissington Trail are not far away. The cottage itself is furnished to a high standard and spotlessly clean. The hot tub is a great feature and being December we were able to sit in the hot tub and watch the shooting stars as we had clear nights. The owner greeted us on arrival and clearly takes pride in ensuring his guests enjoy their stay. A great value cottage, would highly recommend.
Thanks for the kind review Tim. We do indeed take pride in our cottages and intend to make sure they never look tired! Property Owner

"This den is what I was looking for and boy do this deliver."
The owner who was a genuine guy greeted us on arrival and kindly showed us around. He also went out of his way and brought us a bottle of bubbly as it was our anniversary. He mentioned what was around from site seeing to dinning. I would highly recommend this little get away. The setting the view the fine detail the owner has put in to his den made it feel like home. Also forget to mention the HOT TUB. it was beautiful

"The den was such a perfect getaway for me and my partner on our anniversary weekend."
There’s everything you need there and the town is a short 20 minute drive. Karl was welcoming and friendly! The flowers and bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch and perfect to sip while in the hot tub. Overall I would definitely recommend if you want to relax and or go on adventures in the countryside.
Thanks so much for the kind feedback Paige; lovely to meet you guys! Property Owner

"We was met by Karl on arrival who showed us round."
We got complimentary flowers, prosecco and milk which was a nice touch. The Den is in a great location and the scenery is beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable and a great size.

"Really lovely hosts whom I believe would go above and beyond to make their guests stay perfect."
The Den was spotless and had everything you need and more. Just one negative point, the sofa was uncomfortable, with it being winter we did sit a while and watch a couple of films but had to watch them in the bed room (not ideal) because it was impossible to get comfy on the sofa. Also I did not find a large sweeping brush to be able to sweep up as I would usually do. The Den is perfect for a short break.
Hi Susan, We enjoyed having you at The Den; only sorry about the Sofa. New one now ordered and set to arrive next week! Thanks for the constructive feedback. Regards, Karl Property Owner

"Me and my partner went to stay at the Den just before Xmas weekend."
We only booked the trip in the morning and Karl was very accommodating towards this. We reached there at 10.30pm and was worried how cold it would be. We were surprised to get there as the rooms were very warm and cosy and everything was spot on. The rooms were very clean and immaculate and Karl ensured we had everything for out stay. A milk gallon was in fridge with essentials like coffee, tea, sugar etc. All the facilities were amazing and the hot tub was simply the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed it soo much and have recommended to all friends and family. On Xmas Eve, we got a lovely gift from Karl to keep us going. Absolutely amazing place to stay and would definitely recommend the Den. Thank you Karl for being an amazing host ☺️
It was an absolute pleasure to host you both. With The Den, we’ve tried to create an intimate space for couples to chill and relax, so I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! Property Owner

"Booked ‘The Den’ last minute for a relaxing xmas getaway."
The property had everything we needed and very well stocked; upon arrival we met with the friendly host Carl of whom showed us around the property and ensured we had full knowledge of the utilities and how they should be used. Also provided was a complimentary bottle of prosecco which was enjoyed whilst we spent our evening in the hot tub and a small pint of milk. The property was very clean, nice and warm, which was a bonus due to the cold weather at the time. The bed was comfortable and a very decent size, which ensured we were able to have a lovely night sleep, the only downfall being the noise coming from the pipes in the bedroom which had a trio of tones during random times of the night and at times quite disturbing; however this can easily be amended . Overall we have had a lovely weekend and would definitely return to the property.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. We’ve not had noisy pipes reported before, so I’ll ask our plumber to look into that (air in the system?). Apologies for the inconvenience. Look forward to seeing you again! Property Owner

"Honestly we never leave reviews but completely had to!"
Me & partner are due to get married next week and we needed a well deserved rest after a busy few weeks, booked last minute. Prior to our arrival the communication from direct from the owners was seamless with an easy & personal check-in. The Den was perfect, clean, beautiful inside, the hot tub was all ready for us when we arrived, with some beautiful prefect touches. Beautiful Den, perfect location, amazing hospitality. Flawless, would highly recommend and will definitely revisit.
Hi Sara, Thanks for the lovely review. I really hope your wedding day was everything you both hoped for! Regards, karl Property Owner

"This is by far my favourite place I have ever stayed!"
The host’s daughter came and greeted us on arrival and went through how to use the hot tub. She gave me her number so if we needed her we could get hold of her whenever. The Den itself was beautiful, it was super clean, bed was super comfy and the kitchen well equipped. The Den is beautifully decorated and the complimentary bubbly on arrival a lovely touch. The fresh milk in the fridge was a blessing! All in all an amazing place to stay, can’t wait to visit again next year

For people with some limitation to their mobility they may find the bathroom on the small side, especially the sink.

"Soon as we got to the property, the owner Karl was really hospitable and made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us some great advice about the area."
Everything was really clean and the Hot Tub at the back of the property was fantastic, even on the rainy days! Brilliant location just a short 10 minute drive to the southern part of the peak district and was able to get a ASDA delivery to the Den with ease. I will definitely be re-booking this fantastic property in the future!
-
"Really enjoyed our two week stay at The Den."
Great location for exploring the Peak District The cottage was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The BBQ and hot tub area is a lovely sun trap.

"Amazing stay!"
We got over the disappointment of not being able to travel abroad for our honeymoon by booking the Den and it was the best decision we could have made! It was a beautiful romantic setting and our host Karl could not have made us feel more welcome and could not do enough for us! We will definitely coming back to stay again and we suggest you all do as well!

About the location
ASHBOURNE
Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.
Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
