"Wow! What a wonderful welcome from Jane and Terry at their beautiful, super clean, well appointed, warm and cosy cottage."
How lovely in these post covid days of opening a key safe, letting yourselves in a not meeting the owners all week to have such great hosts. They were helpful and informative, so much so, Jane text me (I thought she would) at 9.30 and we all stood in her garden watching the Northern Lights glowing in the skies above the cottage. A fabulous end to a brilliant week! Amazing walking, Dovedale, Thors cave, Carsington Water and Longshaw Estate, NTrust, Biddulph, Kedleston, Sudbury and Calke Abbey. A holiday to remember, absolutely brilliant! Thank you!
Thank you very much for the feedback. I am very pleased you had a good holiday and liked the cottage. Thank you for leaving it so clean and tidy. Agreed the northern lights were very special, i am so glad we all managed to see them. Best wishes, Jane. Property Owner

"Despite the weather, which we know can always be unpredictable at this time of year, we had very enjoyable stay at Top Stable Cottage."
On arrival the cottage was found warm, clean,tidy and welcoming as expected. The owners next door were welcoming and always on hand with helpful tips on where best to go for meals out etc. The cottage is well situated for access to local towns as well as the southern Peak District. If going back to that area we would certainly staying there again.
Thank you for taking the the time to leave feedback and thank you very much for your kind comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your holiday despite the weather and the cottage was as you had hoped. Best wishes, Jane. Property Owner

"Really nice cottage with all you need for a lovely stay."
Jane and family close if needed but also feel that they left us to enjoy stay. Lots of lovely pubs to explore and eat at. Very quiet but close to main routes to areas. Will look at staying again when journeying to peak district. Only extra that would be great is a small local welcome pack of local produce. Many places do this for that initial treat on arrival.
I'm really pleased you like the cottage and it sounds like you enjoyed your holiday. Regarding the local produce welcome pack: it is hard to accommodate the multitude of dietary requirements and preferences that exist . Therefore we concentrate on making sure the cottage has been thoroughly cleaned, the grass mown, paths swept etc. and that everything is presented as well as it can be, ready for your holiday. We do go out of our way to try to be here for when guests arrive so we can welcome you with the offer of a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits on your arrival. Property Owner

"Fantastic stay in this cosy little cottage, which comes equipped with everything that you might need."
A good base for exploring Derbyshire and the peaks with most places well within a hours drive with some very scenic views. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed watching our dog Ruby having a run around with Frank (owners dog). Thank you for having us.
You are welcome it was very nice to meet you all. I am pleased you had a good holiday and liked the cottage. Frank did miss Ruby after you had left. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Best wishes, Jane. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, road on both sides of the cottage so it was noisy."
Garden not as big as we thought, and we could not walk the dog at all from the cottage. Stairs very slippy, also a handrail on the wall would help. Apart from that we had a good week rest. Freezer was great to have, and we arranged a delivery from Tesco's, so that was brilliant not having to cart food there. Thank you to Terry and Jane,
Thank you for visiting Top Stable Cottage. I think this is the first time anyone has suggested the garden is too small. I would agree that to remain in all day with an energetic dog a much bigger property all together would be necessary. However, the garden has an area with bench seating at the entrance, a lawn and a further separate seating area which is surely reasonable for a cottage which only accommodates 2 people. As regards the stairs, it is a wooden staircase, as can be seen from the photographs. There is of course a handrail on one side of the stairs. Thank you for your feedback, best wishes, Jane Property Owner

"We had the most incredible time at the cottage."
The place was absolutely perfect for a week in the countryside, walking and relaxing. I'd say it feels a bit bigger than the pictures look, so for the two of us and our dog it was spacious, clean, and very well maintained. The little garden was brilliant, its fully enclosed so theres nothing to worry about if you have a pet that likes to explore. The hosts were incredibly friendly and we will definitely be coming back in the near future.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. We are very pleased you enjoyed your holiday and that cottage met your expectations. It was lovely to meet you as well, we would be very pleased to see you if you decide you would like to return. Best wishes, Jane. Property Owner

"Our first visit to Top Stable Cottage."
The property was well equipped, clean and tidy. Too many gates to go through because of one excitable friendly dog. Due to the location of the cottage, we found it was extremely noisy with motor vehicle traffic passing most of the time and for this reason we will not be returning for another holiday.
First of all we are sorry the cottage failed to meet your expectations. The gates you mention were a temporary measure due to building work. These were removed on the Tuesday of your visit. We are also disappointed you found traffic noise a problem. In our experience this is rarely a problem other than when farmers are working in the fields. Again, we are sorry you have been disappointed, thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

"Jane & Terry are fanastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble and very welcoming."
The cottage is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need, even washer and dish washer pods. The garden is enclosed for small dogs with table and chairs outdoors. The bedroom is quite large with lovely views over the fields. We will miss Frank the dog host. The cottage is central to many scenic areas, Matlock is a short drive away, a walk to Black rock is a must. There is a morrisons and aldi in Belper, 10 minutes drive away, which also has lots of shops to look around. We will definitely be returning to the cottage, it felt like home after just 1 weeks stay.
-
"Beautifully clean cottage with everything that you need for a very comfortable stay."
The cottage is ideally situated for visiting many of the attractions that the Peak Distict has to offer. The owners, Jane and Terry are lovely too, really friendly and there if you need them. When we go back to the area , Top Stable Cottage will definitely be our first choice for accommodation. We had a fantastic week , thank you.

"One of the very best holiday cottages we have stayed in."
The property has been furnished and decorated to a very high standard. We really appreciated the dog friendly welcome and secure garden. The location gives great views and easy access to many local towns - Ashbourne, Duffield, Belper, Cromford, Matlock, Wirksworth and more. Within easy reach an excellent farm shop at Croots (Duffield), many pubs and tourist sites eg Carsington Reservoir, historic houses and estates and the great Derbyshire outdoors.

"Top Stable Cottage is a perfect base to visit some of the beautiful attractions in Derbyshire."
On arrival the cottage was warm, clean and inviting. The facilities were excellent and the equipment in the kitchen was very good as well. Dogs are acceptable and ours didn't 'sniff' around everything on arrival which proves it was well cleaned. Shops around is a large Morrisons in Belper which has everything you need but there is also a large Co-Op though we just stuck to Morrisons. The owners Jane and Terry are very helpful if you have any problems as live in the adjoining property. Would thoroughly recommend it.

It has a really spacious bedroom and an extremely comfortable bed. The cottage kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. There is a small lawned garden with garden furniture.

"We had a very restful week in the cottage which was all we thought it would be."
If I was to find fault at all it is that the car parking was a long way from the cottage and the path was difficult for my wife who is disabled apart from that the cottage was probably the best we have stayed in.
-
"This cottage is immaculate and the owner has thought of everything, and used top quality appliances!"
The bed is so comfortable too. The location is handy for so much of Derbyshire and nearby Ashbourne is charming and very well served by supermarkets for your food shopping. We would definitely return, it was a really relaxing week which did us both good. And Harry the dog too!
