• "This is our 3rd stay at the snug, it's a lovely, cosy, comfortable, clean cottage."

  Lots to do in the area, lots of great walks, close to Matlock and Matlock bath. We didn't have to use the car all week.

• "The Snug is a really lovely cottage - exactly as described, ideal for my husband, myself and our small dog."

  It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

• "We really liked the little cottage."

  It was well equipped and nicely decorated - suited our needs perfectly. The garden was lovely. Good location for lots of local attractions and walks. Would happily return if we come back to the area.

• "Nice cosy property with lots of thoughtful touches."

  Nice deep bath that fills quickly is great after a long walk. Carsington Water is definitely worth a visit. If you are on public transport 110/111 drop off and pick up from the Rising Sun and the Visitor Centre. Little sixes are great for getting around local places.

• "It's a lovely cottage in a lovely location."

  Very good for walking in the countryside and also within walking distance of Arkwright's Mill, Cromford, Wirksworth, Matlock Bath for those willing to walk up and down the hills. The village is pretty and has two good pubs. I was able to park my car within 50 m of the cottage which was very convenient.

• "A lovely place for two with everything you need for your stay."

  The spiral staircase may cause problems for those less able - small suitcases/bags recommended. Although it has no on site parking we found street parking each day. Lovely area for walking and two welcoming pubs in the village.

• "Lovely cottage, ideal for 2 and the dog."

  The garden wasn't as secure as we thought as the pictures didn't show the low wall on one side so I'm glad we took our long lead for Niko. Being a husky he would have chased anything that moved.. Having said that we would definitely book again as the Village is pretty much central to everywhere we walked

• "Lovely cottage and 'the Snug' suits it's name."

  I had problems with broadband which the owner tried to resolve although it remained slow (taking time to load pages, not enough to stream on the nice, big Smart TV). Otherwise the owner was very helpful and I would recommend and may return

  Hi Robert. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm so sorry about the broadband! It was just something that was out of my control unfortunately with it being a technical issue their end. I was on the phone to Plusnet so many times trying to sort it out, and happy to say that the engineer came out yesterday and fixed it and is alot faster and back up and running again as normal. :) Thanks for your feedback, Jo.

  Has everything you need. In a lovely little village, in a lovely part of the country. For a short stay, this cottage is perfect. Garden secure (unless your dog can jump a 3 foot wall, like our sausage tried to!) Lovely neighbours, very clean. WiFi hit and miss but generally good enough for day to day use. Thank you for the lovely little welcome package and being super dog friendly. Would recommend :0)

• "From the moment we found the place (brilliant guidance from Jo), it became our hidden home away from the world."

  Jo very thoughtfully left a small gift, cupcakes and birthday decorations for us so when we walked in, we instantly felt at home, and in the mood to celebrate! The cottage itself is beautiful with an air of magic. Lots of beautiful decoration that makes it feel homely. We especially loved the barn door (where the top half of the door opens, but the bottom half is closed). The dates we were there had some rainy moments but the barn door allowed us to enjoy the rainy smells and sounds, take in the beuaiful view and be as close to nature as possible, all whilst sitting on cosy chairs with a blanket to keep us warm. Truly magical moments that we're looking forward to experiencing again.

  The doggy welcome pack was a lovely gesture on arrival. There was an enclosed garden which made it really easy to let the dog out and to have somewhere to wash the dog after a muddy walk (and a dive into the canal!!). The owners were very helpful when we had questions; and in one instance where something wasn't working they were there sorting it incredibly quickly to make sure there was no impact on our stay. Their customer service was really excellent. The location was really good with plenty of walks and tourist attractions nearby and a nice pub with food down the road. It was easy access to go anywhere we wanted. Genuinely sad to leave and really enjoyed our stay.

  Easily found with the instructions given. A cosy cottage lovely and clean with everything you need for your stay. It sits in the middle of the main street but just down a little alley so no noise. A pub at each end of the street both with very friendly people, The Rising Sun does food but not the Nelson. A short ride to the supermarket for essentials but the cottage is perfectly placed for trips to neighboring tourist attractions, we did loads although it was quiet everywhere.
