"Our fifth time at the cottage."
Love the area and village. Never disappoints
Thank you for your repeated custom. So pleased you enjoyed your 5th stay at Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

"Loved the cottage everything you could need very cosy only down side was the garden wasn’t useable and there was a lot of noise from quarry lorry’s from 5."
30 am but had a lovely stay
Thank you for your review and the high score. We are sorry if you thought there would be a garden. In our description we state, 'No garden but small seating area available, off path shared by cottages in terrace' and we also include a picture. Sykes use the garden symbol if there is any outdoor space however small . We also state in our description that Bobbin Cottage is on a busy B road and that noise may be heard at peak times. We have installed secondary glazing and blanket lined curtains to minimise noise and many guests say they aren't bothered by noise once inside the property. There is a quarry on the outskirts of the village, but it is not open at 5.30 am. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Bobbin Cottage."
The location was perfect for us to go and explore and the cottage was homely. Plenty of towels were provided and the kitchen was well equipped. We didn’t take our dog with us this time, but we were happy to see that Bobbin cottage was dog friendly with spare bowls and blankets available to use. The fire was also a lovely addition, we lit it on our second night after a day out at the Heights of Abraham and it was lovely to warm up next to! Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend Bobbin Cottage to anyone wanting to visit the area.
What a lovely review. Thank you. We were so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Great base for exploring the area, clean and cute little cottage."
The mattress or bed could do with up update but other than this, it was a good break away from it all.
We were pleased you found Bobbin Cottage a good base and clean. Mattress comfort is very subjective. The mattress isnt old and many guests have commented on how comfortable it is. We stay at the property ourselves occasionally and like the mattress. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage that was perfect for our stay."
It was lovely and clean and comfortable for the two of us and the dog. We were unsure about if there was a garden for us to use or to share with another cottage as it was listed that it had a garden. This would have been useful to take the dog out. Also the TV could maybe do with an update so we can access smart features (iPlayer/netflix etc). But all in all it is great value and we would love to stay again! Thank you for a lovely holiday!
We are pleased you had a lovely holiday at Bobbin Cottage and would love to welcome you back. We were sorry if you were unsure if there would be a garden. Sykes use the garden symbol if there is any outdoor space however small. We therefore clarify this in our description by saying 'No garden but small seating area available, off path shared by cottages in terrace' and we also include a picture. There is a Now TV box that allows you to access smart features like iPlayer and Netflix (if you have a subscription ). We will have another look at the instructions in our welcome pack to make sure this is clear. Thank you for your review. Property Owner

"Great dog friendly place to stay in Cromford."
Compact, clean and ideally situated. No problem parking outside and very helpful owners. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area again.

"We had a lovely 4 night stay in the cottage and were very comfortable."
I appreciated the dog blankets for the sofas as we did a lot of walking and it was great to chill out on the sofas in the afternoon. The bathroom decor is lovely and the shower has strong water pressure which was very welcome after it got cold and wet on Wednesday. The info book is very thorough and helpful and it was great to see Dylan's fave dog walks which we did 1.5 of! Many thanks for a lovely stay!
Thank you for your lovely review. We were pleased that you found Bobbin Cottage comfortable and that your dogs enjoyed Dylan's favourite walk. Property Owner

"Bobbin cottage is a beautiful historic little cottage."
I felt thrown back in time when I looked out at the rear of the property. I compared it to a last of the summer wine experience. The cottage is perfect for two plus a doggy friend. The one and only drawback is the steep staircase which cannot be changed due to listed status. Just down the road from Cromford Mill, the canal wharf and local pubs, shops and chippy it was perfect for our short stay. If you like history and tranquil walks it is the place to be.
Thank you for your lovely review. We were pleased that you and your dogs enjoyed your stay. We liked your comment about 'a last of the summer wine experience' . We love spending time sat on the seat out the back. Property Owner

"We had a very enjoyable, relaxing week at Bobbin cottage, the cottage is well equipped with a great shower & comfy bed ."
The area around Cromford has lots of lovely walks, we particularly enjoyed walking along Cromford canal & the High Peak trail, our dogs loved it too. A great area to visit
Thank you for such a lovely review. so pleased that you and your dogs had an enjoyable time at Bobbin Cottage and Cromford. Property Owner

"Traffic noise was horrendous from trucks and lorries beginning at 5 am ending at 7 pm."
Extremely low doors that were not mentioned. Bumped heads many times and ended up wearing bobble hat indoors. Not very dog friendly. No garden or green space of any kind to let your dog out in. It meant walking out at 5:30am for a dog walk and late on in the evening. The dog was never able to be off the lead. If your dog gets out of the front door it’s chances are not good. Cromford itself is amazing and would go back at the drop of a hat but sadly not in Bobbin cottage.
We were saddened to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at Bobbin Cottage and sorry to hear that your husband hit his head one of the doorways. You emailed during your stay to say that this had happened and told me that he is 6ft 6 inches tall. We have never felt the need to mention the height of the doorways. The description does say that Bobbin Cottage is a grade 2 listed millworkers cottage, so you would expect doorways to be low. That said the doors are actually not that low and no one else has reported an issue. My husband is over 6ft tall and never knocked his head and our plumber is about 6ft 6 as well and never had a problem. I’m happy to add into the description that if you are very tall, you may find one of the doorways low. We genuinely want everyone to be pleased with Bobbin Cottage, so have gone to a lot of effort to be honest in our description so would urge everyone who is looking to book it to read the description in full. The description mentions that there is not a garden as such but a sitting area on a shared path and the potential for traffic noise from the road, mainly at peak times. Both of these factors are reflected in the pricing structure for Bobbin Cottage. Bobbin Cottage is one of the cheaper dog friendly cottages in the area. I’m sorry it wasn’t for you but fortunately we have many happy repeat bookers with dogs who have positively reviewed Bobbin Cottage and found it to be dog friendly. Good Luck with finding somewhere that is more suited to you in Cromford. Property Owner

"A lovely cosy cottage, perfect for 2."
Lots of great walks literally on your doorstep and with pubs and places to eat nearby - it was the perfect location for a weekend break. It was clean, well maintained and had everything you could need for your time away. Would definitely book again.

"Quaint and beautifully presented cottage and good value."
We will be back. Only slight problem although there is a nice outdoor sitting area with good views there is no completely enclosed area in the back for the dogs.
Thank you for your review. So pleased you found Bobbin Cottage well presented and good value. Unfortunately we can't enclose the seating area as it is small and on a path shared with other cottages in the row. Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage in a great location."
So much to do in the area, we will definitely be back.

"Our 2nd time staying at Bobbin Cottage."
Love staying here, feels very much like home from home, with all the facilities you need for a week away. Very clean, comfortable bed and found no issues with the road. Very relaxing week. Cromford is an excellent base to explore the region. Highly recommend a visit to Cromford Mills. Both the Bell and Boat Inn are welcoming. The Boat Inn serve some delicious food. Looking forward to returning to Bobbin Cottage in the future.
So pleased you enjoyed your second stay at Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

"Bobbin Cottage was a perfect place to stay especially for walks."
It was exactly as advertised. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The lounge was comfortable and very cosy especially when we lit the fire. Bedroom was a good size and the bed very comfortable too. Some road noise but hardly noticeable with secondary glazing. All in all - highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

"A lovely cottage very well positioned for visiting the Peak District."
Our dog loved falling asleep in front of the log burner. We would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to family and friends.

"Cosy, comfortable, very clean and well equipped."
Good location, close to centre of village. Easy off-street parking. Bus route on doorstep. Good local pubs. We used The Boat for a couple of meals and a quiz night. Excellent bookshop up the hill. Local walks that we are yet to experience as it rained all week. Friendly and helpful locals. All in all, a good place to stay if you want to explore Derbyshire.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Hopefully you will visit again when the weather is better so you can try the lovely walks on the doorstep of Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

"Its a great location minutes form the square in Cromford , the place was very tidy and clean with lots of info and books on places to visit and walks etc - too many to read !"
We have 2 small criticisms - the info suggested there was a private garden & there was no garden , it would have been good to have found a pint of milk when we arrived as no shops were open ( we have been to cottages where you find a cake , milk etc when you arrive . . its a nice touch !
Pleased you found Bobbin Cottage's location convenient. Sorry if you thought there would be a private garden. Sykes use the garden symbol if there is any outdoor space however small. We therefore clearly clarify this in our description by saying 'No garden but small seating area available, off path shared by cottages in terrace' and we include a picture. I don't see how we can be any clearer. We want everyone to be pleased with Bobbin Cottage, so have gone to a lot of effort to be honest in our description so would urge everyone who is looking to book it to read the description in full. We have made a conscious decision not to offer welcome products. Bobbin Cottage is one of the cheapest dog friendly cottages in the area and we have many repeat customers who come back because it is good value for money. To offer welcome gifts we would have to increase our prices to cover purchase of the goods and the labour involved in purchasing and delivering on day of arrival. Property Owner

"Really lovely cottage very well equipped."
It’s very small though so wouldn’t recommend to a family with baby & dog/s. The road noise is a lot but would affect most houses in the village. A washing machine & coffee machine would be great if room. Amazing host and lovely base I’d 100% go back and recommend.
Thank you for your review and so pleased you would recommend Bobbin Cottage. As you say its a small cottage, so we just don't have space for things like a washing machine or coffee machine. Lots of people stay with two dogs! but as a one bed cottage we would only consider babes in arms. Property Owner

"Lovely comfortable cottage Clean with all facilities we required Perfectly ..."
Lovely comfortable cottage Clean with all facilities we required Perfectly placed for lovely walks and visiting surrounding area Our 2nd visit to this cottage and not disappointed in any way Lovely eating places within walking distance Walks from front and back of house
Thank you for your return visit to Bobbin Cottage. Pleased you enjoyed it 2nd time round. Property Owner

"Being quite a small place the facilities are a little limited, and there is no outdoor area for the property, also whilst there is on street parking it is first come first served so that's a bit of a minus point too, so personally I probably wouldn't want any more than a short break there, 3 or 4 days perhaps."
Having said that it is a very comfortable and clean cottage and makes for an excellent base for exploring the dales and surrounding area, and I would certainly consider another short break in this cottage. We had a lovely break, and as long as you're not expecting 'The Ritz' I'm sure you will too.
Thank you for your review. So pleased that you found Bobbin Cottage clean and comfortable . Property Owner

"Ths a well equipped cottage in a beautiful village with everything you would need for a great dog friendly break."
The local area is stunning with lots of beautiful walks and the local history is well worth delving into. The cottage itself is well situated and just a 20 minute walk from Matlock Bath. We would highly recommend it and will return very soon.

"We had a wonderful stay at Bobbin Cottage."
It had everything you could need. Beautiful area. Cromford was a great base for us. Bobbin Cottage was extremely comfortable for our stay with our 2 dogs. The only downside was the busy road. The double glazing helps, but when you come from rural Norfolk you really notice the traffic. It a beautiful cottage and the owners have made it such a great place to stay.

"Lovely quaint cottage in beautiful village but spoiled by the busy road and the constant steam of traffic including HGV lorries starting at 5."
30am for light sleepers although there is secondary glazing which helps with the noise. Parking outside the house and normally plenty space. No garden but seat at the back door. No washing machine or dishwasher and only one bath towel per person for a week plus two dish towels but could request more by contacting the owner. We did not bother but thankfully brought spare ones with us Good facilities otherwise with catch up tv, excellent wi fi and plenty pots, crockery etc.. Loved all the guide books and maps for exploring the immediate area and further afield which were appreciated as was the advance information .Cromford is ideally situated to explore the Peak District and lots to see and do in perfect walking country. Did not try any of the local restaurants but there are good and varied choices in the village and nearby Matlock and Wirksworth. Ideal cottage for two. Very clean and some of the facilities may have been restricted by Covid which was reassuring.
Thank you for your review. We were pleased you found Bobbin Cottage quaint, clean and ideal for two. Bobbin Cottage is on a busy B road, we are honest about this in our description and this is reflected in the pricing structure for Bobbin Cottage. We have installed secondary glazing and blanket lined curtains to minimise noise and many guests say they aren't bothered by noise once inside the property. One set of bath towels and one set of hand towels provide is as recommended by Sykes and usual for a week's stay in self-catering accommodation. Property Owner

"Cute and comfortable cottage."
Bobbin cottage is very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Even though it is on a busy road it didn’t effect us very much. Cromford is very nice, friendly and helpful locals. There are some nice little shops and within walking distance to Matlock. Would highly recommend it.

"Bobbin Cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable."
Perfect location for exploring the area. It was exactly as described. It’s on a noisy main road but the secondary glazing blocks most of the noise out.

"Our 7th stay at this cottage, speaks for itself."
The area is beautiful - hills, woodland, river, canal. Full of history - Arkwrights Mill, lead mining. So many walks starting from so near the cottage. Plus the homely comfortable cottage to come back to. Well equipped and catering so well for dogs too.
Thank you for your lovely review and for your repeated custom. Property Owner

"The cottage was lovely!"
We had pretty much everything we needed (things like salt and pepper, oil etc. would have been useful for cooking but we completely understand this may well have been due to corona). We appreciated the butcher recommendation and the instructions were very clear for everything we needed to and could do during our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again if visiting this area. Thank you
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would recommend Bobbin Cottage to others. We usually leave condiments and some tea and coffee for people to use on arrival, but unfortunately we have been advised to remove shared non-essential items due to Covid. Thank you again for your review. Property Owner

"This was a small old (mill?"
?) worker's cottage - and was fabulous. Situated in Cromford which owes it's existence to the mills and is steeped in this heritage. It was what we went for and what we definitely found. There was so much more to explore and discover - more to do with the cotton mills and more to do with the earlier lead mining industry. The walking was superb - not enough hours in the day to do all we wanted. The cottage was just right for the two of us and our two dogs. SOOOO.. good to find dog friendly cottages - Sykes never fail us. Sykes booking and support systems easy and second to none. Thank you.
-
"We think Cromford is a wonderful place, full of hstory, plus amazing views and walks."
-
"The booking was easy with a real person to speak to."
The cottage was just as described, clean and with all upto date facilities. The owners were available on e-mail at all times throughout the booking process and when we got to the property. The property was well located for all we wanted to do for our time in Derbyshire. I would recommend this property without exception
-
"Busy road outside so for dogs to be on a leader when leaving ect, That was the only negative double glazing helped lessen the noise in the cottage which was so comfortable and so handy for everything."
Can highly recommend The Boat for bar meals and live entertainment, The Greyhound for something a little more up market and the Indian in Matlock where the food was devine. The Butchers in the village is also really good.
-
"Lovely cottage great walk for dogs good places to eat"
-
"Perfect cottage for two adults and two lurcher dogs (lack of garden does not matter given the beautiful walks on the doorstep)."
Tastefully decorated, good sofas and lovely comfortable bed. Kitchen well-equipped, and definitely recommend Arkwrights general store and especially Figgshaws butchers a short walk downhill. If you fancy a meal out we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Tapas bar in the Market Place, it was absolutely delicious and very good value. The walks around Cromford detailed by the owners were great, but also thoroughly enjoyed the Monsal Trail from Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale (where the gentleman at the cycle hire shop was particularly helpful) to Bakewell. Chatsworth House is definitely worth a visit even just the gardens if you have dogs, as is a trip to the Heights of Abraham country park via cable car from Matlcok Bath. Spectacular scenery everywhere, brilliant holiday all round.

"The cottage is on a very busy main road and the garden at the rear is not part of the cottage."
Thank you for giving us an overall score of 93%. I'm sorry you didn't feel the description was accurate. We have tried our hardest to be honest in the description which says ' no garden but small seating area' and it is also shown in a picture and we make reference to the road. Both of these factors are reflected in the pricing structure for Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

-
"Lovely cottage in a fabulous part of the world."
Lots to do in the village and not far to many surrounding lovely areas. One little tip - we got back late one evening to find all the parking spaces outside the cottage taken. It's not easy to park elsewhere as all the roads are very steep and mostly narrow - and residents parking. Did find space near the school at the end of North Road (near the pub) which was only a few minutes walk. Cottage had everything we'd expect and good clear instructions about things such as the rubbish collection and how to work the central heating and TV options.
Thank you for your review and pleased you liked Bobbin Cottage. We usually find we can park outside the cottage and as you note, you can always find somewhere close by. Hope you will stay again. Property Owner

"A super little cottage."
Perfect for two. Great they take dogs. We knew in advance it was on a busy road but this did not trouble us. Once inside it was very cosy and quiet. Would recommend this property and the village of Cromford. A hidden gem.

"Overall the cottage is very nice & clean."
Easy access,& parking outside cottage very good. Buses to all local villages extremely good,no need to use the car.Bakewell is a must,as is the vintage tram village & the cable cars. Noisy ,very busy main road outside cottage but don’t let that put you off staying at bobbin cottage as secondary double is very good. Made mistake of leaving bedroom window open first night hardly slept at all ☹️☹️ But after that closed everything & left bathroom window open for air flow which worked a treat, hardly could hear it at all...stairs are steep & uneven ,hard to handle if you have mobility problems . Be aware their is no garden for a dog to be let out into , just a seat outside the back door . Shower was good,but plug/ drain needs clearing out as standing in 6” water when taking a shower ,takes a age to drain away. Never had a bath , would imagine could take all day to run away not a mayor problem but does need sorting out. We liked bobbin cottage & Cromford,nothing of the above remarks would put us off from returning.
Thank you for your comments. We are pleased you liked and would return to Bobbin Cottage and Cromford. Sorry about bath waste. We have now sorted it. It's a shame you didn't let us know when you were there, we would have happily sent someone around to sort it for you. We look forward to you returning to Bobbin Cottage. Property Owner

"Didn’t mention was on a main road before booking and that there’s no garden."
Please amend description to this for future customers. Thank you.
Both the available outdoor space and the road have always been referenced in our description and reflected in our price. However, in conjunction with Sykes I have amended the description further. Property Owner

"The cottage is brilliant, very clean and well equipped."
Cromford is well situated for exploring the many beautiful natural areas and places of interest. Buses go from outside the cottage door which was brilliant. Used the local shops and they were very reasonably priced and well stocked. Very friendly and welcoming people. The only point I would make is, it is on a very very busy road with traffic thundering past constantly.
-
"Gorgeous clean, comfy dog friendly cottage, in a really beautiful setting."
Easy to park. Lots of places in the village (all dog friendly too) to visit- really geat standard of food and drink and absolutely everywhere we went the people were so friendly and welcoming. We are definitely going to come back as soon as we can. Please be aware theres a very busy road through the village- its quite noisy when youre outside but dont let it put you off- the cottage has secondary glazing and really keeps the noise out. You literally dont hear a peep! Had 2 excellent nights sleep!!
-
"Nice compact cottage with everything you need."
Very dog friendly. Agree with comments made by other visitors in terms of noise from traffic
-
"Lovely, cosy cottage in excellent location."
Would recommend booking if you want to dine out as local establishments get very busy
-
"Owner contact was good and friendly, only downside to our stay was the ridiculously busy road/junction and the noise of the traffic in the cottage."
-
"The cottage is very comfortable and although dog friendly (we took our dog) it smells very fresh and clean."
It's well stocked and brilliant location which meant we didn't use the car at all on our stay and did some great circular walks from home. The village has everything you need and we did our food shopping locally and ate in 2 dog friendly pubs. Many leaflets in the cottage for walks and food menus and the owners have put together a useful manual. Will definitely be booking again in the future.
-
"The stairs are quite steep so nay be difficult for the elderly."
Other than that a Fantastic cottage
-
"Lovely little cottage in a lovely area,dog friendly pubs and people,lovely walks from your door,will definitely be going back to bobbin cottage in cromford."
-
"Sykes were very good but for some reason I was unable to check the facilities of the cottage on the site once I had booked."
I wanted to check in order to pack appropriately. The cottage was very cosy, clean and dog friendly.
-
"Nice cosy comfy cottage in a great location."
-
"It would best be described as 5-star luxury."
This is my second visit to Bobbin cottage and what I particular appreciated was the personal touch from the owner in the emails received by her. A most welcoming approach. Wonderful area for walking with the cottage being in the most convenient position for general access, eg: bus stop with a frequent service to the most important towns right outside the front door! I shall certainly consider repeat visits in the years to come. Chris Bruce.
