• "A fantastic property, well situated on the outskirts of Matlock."

  The house is very well appointed, lovely kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms it is warm and comfortable. It is on a slope so not ideal for those with mobility problems, especially the back garden but it has a great aspect onto open countryside. The house has everything you need and very dog friendly. There are some excellent places to eat and attractions locally, though you need to check Winter opening times. As seasoned UK holiday cottage renters we would highly recommend this one.

  Thank you for your nice review. You are most welcome anytime : ) Property Owner

• "Our stay at Barley Cottage was a delight."

  The house itself is very tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped, with a wonderful garden that affords generous views across the valley. The location offers some great walks, whether it is on the doorstep to Matlock and Matlock Bath, or further afield to all the riches that the Peak District has in store. Elaine was very helpful and friendly, ensuring that we had all the information we needed, and even allowing us to come back and collect an item we left behind! A great rental experience, and one which we hope to repeat at this particular cottage.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave us a good review. We hope to have you again in the not too far future : ) Property Owner

• "The cottage is absolutely lovely and very comfortable for a group of six with large bedrooms and bathrooms."

  The cottage is really well equipped and looked so pretty with the Christmas lights. It’s also very welcoming for dogs; everything has been thought of. We hope to return there in the future.

  Thank you Anna, we are glad you found the house welcoming we do work to make it home from home and it would be lovely to see you as returning guests. Property Owner

• "Wonderful property."

  Pictures don't do it justice. Downstairs/ living space much more generous than it appears. Owners have put in very thoughtful touches from a tea tray in the top bedroom to lights that automatically illuminate your way through the house and garden. This is also what I would truly call a dog friendly property with bowls and blankets provided. We stayed for Christmas and found the property well equipped for cooking and beautifully decorated. Matlock and tansley a 15 min walk either way from the cottage (each with a dog friendly pub) on a various gradient of hill. Set of stairs to first floor is quite steep for less mobile people but there's a solid handrail. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

  Thank you Clare we appreciate you taking the time to write and we are glad you enjoyed your time with us. Property Owner

• "We had a fabulous time at Barley Cottages."

  Amazing views and pretty much every detail considered by the owner. The kitchen is soo well equipped with everything you need to cater for a group of 6 plus a dog! The location is perfect for getting out on immediate walking trials, or a little mooch into town. The weather was pretty dismal for our stay though, so no long hikes as intended, but it was magical watching thunder and lightning storms across the valley from the summer house. The garden is spectacular and a lot of work must have gone into it. I would say the garden isn’t suitable to let a small dog off lead in my opinion and my only feedback would be to possibly point this out in the booking details. We would love to stay again.

  We are happy you enjoyed your stay and the facilities offered as we wish you have every comfort available. In addition we are pet friendly we supply everything you might need for your beloved pet however we are unable and or cannot guarantee that the garden is pet secure because even the most determined pet will work out a way to escape.

• "A lovely cottage with a real wow factor."

  All the rooms are immaculate and designed with a contemporary finish. Everything we needed was available, making our stay very relaxing and comfortable. The garden is amazing with fantastic views (we were blessed to the first proper week of sunshine this year! Which meant lovely evenings admiring the Derbyshire countryside). The garden is also very secure for a dog but those with limited mobility would struggle. Thank you for a lovely stay, we would definitely recommend.

• "This is probably the best cottage we have stayed in."

  It is immaculately decorated with so much attention to small details such as the torches readily available and always charged conveniently placed on the walls, the lights which come on automatically in the dark and the abundance of high quality kitchen equipment. I could go on and on. The furniture is top quality, the settees and beds all comfortable. It is ultra doggy friendly, feeding bowls, toys, blankets, treats, everything has been thought of. The garden is lovely- you get lots of exercise going up and down the steps! The views at the top are superb, excellent place to sit and have a cuppa or glass of wine. I cannot rate this cottage too high, we would love to go back.

  Ideally situated with plenty of walks on the doorstep including a 20 minute stroll into Matlock. Our two dogs Sandy and Teddy really enjoyed playing and lazing in the sun in the enclosed garden and we enjoyed the added bonus of the summerhouse and wonderful views. Off road parking provided the icing on the cake!

  Loved that there were clean towels, blankets and bowls for the doggy guests in case you had forgotten anything, and treats and poo bags! Kitchen in particular equipped to very high standard and the supply of tea coffee and washing up items much appreciated. The light sensors were very welcome to make you feel safe and secure going up and down stairs. Maps and local guides also supplied along with board games to entertain us in the evenings. A real home from home (without the clutter) where you could actually have a rest. Pubs within in walking distance.

  Stylish and beautifully decorated. The owners have gone out of their way to think about all those little things that make a holiday cottage home from home.

• "We had a fabulous stay at Barley cottage- I don’t think the photos do it justice!"

  It’s stylish and immaculate, with really good quality fixtures and fittings and a well kitted out kitchen. I was a bit apprehensive when I booked as I couldn’t find any reviews but this is clearly because the place is brand new. There are beautiful walks on your doorstep and lots to do nearby. The terrace has a wonderful view I could have sat there all day. This cottage has lots of stairs that are quite steep, both inside and outside so please be aware that if anyone is a bit unsteady on their feet this might be a bit difficult for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone else and hope to be back again soon.Thank you!
