  • "Had a great time, property was extremely clean and decorated nicely throughout."

    The area was great for exploring and the walks along the canal were fantastic. Had a couple of meals in the Boat Inn and the big draw was the stunning fire as the weather was freezing all week. The only couple of niggles we had was that there was a draught around the kitchen door which made it extremely cold and would benefit from a seal/draught excluder. Secondly the noise from the exceptionally busy road with massive lorries up and down all day. Apart from that we had a lovely time.

  • "Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided."

    The cottage was squeaky clean and the basket of food on arrival was much appreciated. Cromford is a great place from which to explore the lower areas of the Peak District and we had a wonderful three days doing so. Would recommend highly.

  • "Only problem is we couldn't get hold of the owner to report the heating not on."

    Otherwise, it was a lovely clean cozy little house. Ideal for the 2 of us and the dog. In and ideal spot for visiting places. Also, local bus takes away meals out at the nearby pubs. and dogs welcome in the pubs. Would recommend to family and friends would also return again

    Thank you so much for your 5 star review Margaret and I’m really sorry to hear that you couldn’t contact us. The heating is set to come on to keep the cottage at a comfortable temperature and then it goes off once that temperature is reached. Hopefully, it soon got cosy for you as it’s usually nice and toasty. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay and would recommend to friends and family. Thats great to hear! We’d also love to welcome you back in the future. Thanks again for taking the time to post a review, Emma & Stuart Property Owner
