    Dennis (our Dachshund) had the best time as we didn’t need to get in the car to find the best walks, in fact, we didn’t need to use the car at all. Hot-tub was an absolute bonus to what was already an amazing weekend. Can’t wait to go back next year!!!

    Claire was a star when we were in need of help. Maybe a bit difficult dinner table for toddlers if I have to make any suggestions but in general we were very happy

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Maria. I’m glad I was able to help you when you needed it. We chose the Bistro style table for extra height so guests can enjoy the view into the garden from the conservatory but I appreciate it may not be ideal for very young children. Property Owner

  • "An excellent property in a perfect location to enjoy the magnificent Peak District."

    The property is very well presented and guest needs carefully considered. The highlight after a day of walking is of course the hot tub, for which robes and slippers are even provided. A great place for dogs, with their own bed, bowls and biscuits! Garden is secure and a great dog walk straight from the property is available.

    Ideally located. Hot tub a welcome extra after a day of walking. Local pubs serve excellent food. Tight parking but due to instructions given for entering and exiting, it wasn't a problem.

    Thank you for this wonderful review Carol. I’m glad you found the parking instructions helpful. Other cottages in the village like Lydgate Cottage tend to have no parking at all, but it’s good to be able to get the car on the drive with the gates closed and know that children and pets are safe. Even if it takes a few extra mirror checks! I hope you’ll come again :) Property Owner

    Cosy comfy lounge, big tv, fast broadband, and a decent fire. Nice little conservatory to shelter from weather. Compact kitchen, with everything you need to cook (we cooked all bar 1 of our meals). Good size bedroom with vaulted ceiling and a really comfy bed. Bathroom was immaculate and a pleasure to use. Outside the garden was secure and a perfect size for us for the week. Location was perfect too, just off the village centre which has several cafes, pub, & village stores. Plenty of walking from the door, no need to drive anywhere. We only holiday in the Peak District, and have stayed in dozens of cottages all over, and Lydgate is hands down our new favourite.

    Thank you Richard for taking the time to leave this amazing, detailed review.

One of the reasons we chose the cottage was the hot tub and it really didn’t disappoint!! If you have a long vehicle, parking may be more of an issue than my small SUV.

    Thank you for this lovely review Debbie. It is nice to be able to close and lock the gates to the garden and patio area and know that pets or children are safe. We’ve had a few guests stay with Toyota Hilux’s and still be able to close the gates, but you are right anything longer and the gates may not close. I hope you’ll visit again Property Owner

    The property has been beautifully done and was comfy and cosy for us and our two dogs. Eyam is also a great base from which to explore the stunning local countryside, with a seemingly inexhaustible network of walking trails in all directions. We were able to clock up over 50 miles of hiking without needing to get in the car. There is then the bonus of the hot tub at the end of a day’s exploring, plus a good choice of places in Eyam to go for a meal and a drink. All in all, a fantastic trip and we fully intend to visit Lydgate Cottage again in the future.

  • "A lovely quaint cottage with a mix of old and new."

    The kitchen, bathroom and outside hot tub were all modern and looked brand new. Everything you need for a few nights away. Rainfall shower and the pressure was especially good. Lots of old stone in the kitchen and lounge which gave it a rustic look. Log fire was lovely, cottage was lovely and warm. Bed was comfy. Clearly a lot of time and effort has been spent on the hard product. Welcome package was a nice touch, small bits of feedback would be to have more provision of tea and coffee, oil for cooking and milk would have been really helpful given the small amount of tea/coffee provided. Location is great we had two days of walking around the hills, one in the snow. Our dog loved it and she really enjoyed the big dog bed. Thank you

    Thank you for the lovely review James. This is really appreciated. I’m so pleased you found the cottage warm and comfortable. We were providing milk but found it was often left and we threw it away. We tried to make up by adding extras to the welcome pack. Agree, cooking oil would be useful but I’m not sure how as we can’t leave anything open or used for the next guest, but will definitely look into it. Property Owner

    (There were four of us + dog but our youngest refuses to sleep by themselves) The kitchen is well stocked, we took our our dog bowls but there was actually some already there. When we arrived there was a basket with some welcome items in, some milk in the fridge and a bottle of fizz that was extremely appreciated after our drive! I loved the small touches like the books on the shelves from and about the local area as well as the dressing gowns, and some spare slippers, which were great for wet feet and on the flag stone floors. There was also baskets of blankets and a log bucket for the fire which we made full use of, and the fire was especially nice after coming inside from the hot tub! We made full use of the hot tub in the afternoons and evenings, after taking the dog out on a walk, which there was plenty of locally. Incredible stay, and while we were there we tried to add on a some additional days but unfortunately couldn’t get the availability with hubs work. Would recommend and most definitely would return.

Eyam is one of the best-preserved villages in the Peak District National Park, nestled at the foot of Sir William Hill, 800ft above sea level and is surrounded by the most glorious countryside. Historically the village is known as the famous 'plague village', as it went into voluntary quarantine when the plague was imported from London in 1665 and thus prevented the spread of the disease. There are many fine old houses in Eyam, and parts of the village have been kept as they looked several centuries ago, such as Eyam Hall, a beautiful 17th century manor house with delightful gardens, craft shops and tea rooms. Above the village lies Eyam Moor, a fine area for walking, with fantastic views across the Derwent Valley, with its many Bronze Age remains and monuments. Visit Bakewell (7 miles) a picturesque market town which holds a livestock market every Monday and the home of the world famous Bakewell Pudding. Explore the mysterious caverns of Castleton, the elegant spa town of Buxton or enjoy the many stately homes on offer including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and Hardwick Hall, to mention a few.
