  • "Our second visit to this beautuful cottage, so comfortable!"

    Reviewed by Robert5.0Oct 2024

  • "We had a lovely time in the Peak District."

    The croft was just perfect, out in the countryside, (lovely views across fields), it's own private patio garden too, but close to so much of the area for visiting and walking. We were greeted on arrival by Julie, who just happened to be near the cottage. So she took us in and showed us around and told us about heating etc. The most delicious lemon drizzle cake was left for us, along with some milk, tea, coffee etc. Several NT properties aren't too far away, and beautiful Chatsworth House a little bit further afield. Dovedale and Ilam is not far and we enjoyed a lovely walk there, although the car park, though it's large can be very busy. Weather was a bit up and down, but this was September and only to be expected. Thank you for your hospitality

  • "The cottage was very clean and beautifully furnished and the position was peaceful and rural."

    The owners were very friendly. The lemon drizzle cake was fab. The only issue we had (which we discussed with the owner) was that the fridge/freezer mentioned in the listing was not a fridge/freezer but a small fridge with an icebox. We tend to shop for the week on our way to a cottage and always choose a venue with a freezer so it was disappointing to arrive and find just an icebox. The owner did offer to put stuff in her freezer, but this would have been very inconvenient for all parties. Nobody else seems to have mentioned this in their feedback, so perhaps we are the only people who truly self-cater and like a freezer to store bread and rolls so that we don't have to shop more than once. Apart from this one issue, The Croft is a perfect place for a holiday.

About the location

HOLLINGTON, DERBYSHIRE

Ashbourne 6 miles.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District, the lovely village of Hollington, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, provides home to a scattering of traditional brick built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, whilst being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine. Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns. In its heyday, during 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 with a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don't expect a bargain! For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by offering good walking and cycling, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
