  • "We had a wonderful time at the Parlour!"

    It is so cosy and well equipped, exactly what we were looking for - we will be back! The surrounding area is beautiful, we had a lovely time exploring nearby and loved saying hi to Parsley the horse! Thank you so much

  • "The holiday was marvellous, entirely due to the perfection of The Parlour Cottage in which we stayed."

    We kept saying, ‘There’s nothing lacking here’. It was comfortable in all respects, and lovely and quiet. It was situated on the cleanest, tidiest farm I’ve I’ve ever experienced. The Cottage reflected this too. Wendy was very welcoming, and helpful at all times during the holiday. It was was a lovely relaxing time: just what was needed.

    Wow! We are chuffed with your feedback! Thank you Property Owner

    If you like "middle of nowhere" vibes, this is the place, although the owner lives next door and is always happy to sort things out. Tideswell is only 10 minutes drive away and the location is lovely. Would definitely recommend.

    Very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and thank you for kind feedback. Property Owner

    Lots of parking and space. We were lucky enough to be here at lambing and the very friendly owner showed us the new born lambs and introduced us to the horses. Perfect base location to explore the surrounding area of the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District which was just gorgeous. Accommodation was quiet and cosy and pretty well equipped. We were here for 5 days, I would have loved to have stayed for longer.

  • "We had a very lovely stay at The Parlour, and really appreciated the accommodation."

    The cottage provided very comfortable, and well equipped facilities on a very well maintained farm, and while compact, was perfect for our family of 5. We especially appreciated the cleanliness and the lovely bright flowers on arrival. The WiFi and charging stations were a nice touch for those who needed them, and the shared utility space, and access to a paddock for kids to play were also great benefits. The cottage was fantastically well placed for the locations we wanted to get to, and we were only a short drive from walks at Mam Tor, Monsol Trail and Chatsworth, as well as the caverns at Castleton, the reservoirs and Buxton and Bakewell. Thank you for a very comfortable and lovely stay!

    Very confusiing about laundry bags and ringing bell on departure - couldn't find bags and no-one answered bell. Your instructions sheet has several ends of lines missing, slightly confusing. Took us a while to find cutlery! Overrall, very satisfied.
