• "Jane was a really lovely welcoming host and we enjoyed our visits to the pub, meeting all the locals and their dogs!"

  A very relaxing place for a big family get together, with spectacular dog walks nearby and everything you could ask for provided.

• "The cottage was clean and comfy inside but two things made me score it a 3."

  Outside the cottage was a dumped washing machine, scooter with a flat tyre, a broken pump with a cable, rusty BBQs and a pot with cigarette butts in. The bedroom with extra beds up on a mezzanine floor had lights not working / bulbs missing. This was important to safety as the stairs to the mezzanine were in darkness and the steps were high in a really narrow space. This wouldn't take much to correct. It's a lovely good value cottage just let down by some simple maintenance.

• "I booked this cottage for a uni reunion, was a beautiful quaint cottage and we got given an extra night for free!"

  The kitchen was fully equipped and it was easy for us to all take turns cooking. Was very handing to have a dishwasher to. Was a short drive away from both Matlock and Bakewell and had short local walks around the area too. Only downside was there was no where to eat in the village, this meant we couldn’t all have a drink if we eat out or we would have to cook back at the cottage, but that is not the end of the world. Would highly recommend. Beds upstairs can easily fit two adults, they just have to mind there heads. Free parking also at the neighbouring pub. Don’t have a bad word to say, would stay again

• "Nice cottage situated in a lovely area for walking, mountain biking, etc."

  We had a lovely time with the family. Being mega critical there were a few bits that needed updating/general maintenance but it’s an old cottage and just added to the quirkyness really! Owners were very friendly and helpful too. We’d definely stay again.

• "The noise from the staircase was so bad we all struggled to sleep if any one ..."

  The noise from the staircase was so bad we all struggled to sleep if any one moved around with two dogs that needed to go out in the night made it very hard as we understood from the description it had a private garden which was a share roof terrace which wasn’t practical The cottage was clean and well laid out with equipment but on the whole we would not recommend it to anyone else with dogs

  Hi Julie, sorry you found the staircase noisy, it is part of the nature of an old building and has not been a problem for previous guests. We are clear that our property does not have a garden and our outside area is a paved patio which has shared access with our personal accommodation. I am sure you will agree that the location of our cottage is perfect for dog walkers and there are outside spaces very close by for dogs to have that last minute pee. Property Owner

• "Pickle Cottage is a lovely quirky cottage set in a lovely village."

  Alan and Jane very helpful with any queries we had. I would recommend this cottage. There were 5 of us , three adult and two children so would easily sleep 8 as advertised. The upstairs mezzanine was brilliant for the children to sleep in. Every where was clean and of course you can take your dog with you.

  Lots of visitor attractions at a stone's throw away. I would definitely recommend it.

• "What a fantastic find."

  A lovely cottage with great facilities. Easy to find, easy to park. Lots to do on the door step - recommend Black Rocks, about 3 miles away with pretty but steep walks, amazing views. The owners of the cottage were helpful and very friendly. Their pub next door is a proper country pub with beautiful and interesting decorations. We look forward to returning.

• "We loved the property - it was very cozy and perfect for our two families with children."

  The location is very good too, and we did two interesting walks around the area. So all in all thank you so much! The only issue was heating - it was really warm and we could not set the radiators to give moderate heat or switch them off - even on low setting they were very hot. The only way was to switch off the heating completely using thermostat. If there is a way to tune it, it is worth informing your guests for their comfort and also to save some money on the bills.

• "We had a lovely break at Pickle Cottage, it was cosy and warm."

  Well equipped kitchen and nice spacious living space. It is in a great location if you want peace and quiet. The locals are very friendly and we were invited out on the village walk as we emerged from the cottage one Sunday morning, we had an instant new set of friends! The bus service is excellent for a remote location and good valley for money if you are still of a fare paying age! We would love to return to the area some time, it’s taken a piece of my heart!

  Walks from the doorstep and all the facilities we needed at the cottage. It was fantastic that our dog was warmly welcomed by our host which allowed us to relax and enjoy the space. There’s a pub next door with lovely ales but does not do food so we needed to drive out or cook in for eats.

  The main living area was small and cosy but still fit all 8 of us in. The bedrooms were a good size and everywhere was spotless. We would definitely stay again.

• "Once we had got used to the (very), noisy stairs, it was a very comfortable cottage - well placed for exploring."

  The only two slight issues were the lack of suitable cooking equipment for the microwave, and the dim mirror lighting in the bathrooms (difficult to shave in your own shadow).

• "We could not fault the inside of the cottage or the helpfulness of the owner, However there was no reason why vehicles, especially the owner's huge van, were parked up against the cottage, taking over the frontage."

  Also our bedrooms overlooked the pub courtyard, so we were aware of chatter ( and dog barking ! ) well into the night......... The saving grace was the nearby public garden where we could sit and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful countryside views.
