  • "We were in the premises from 1-4th November."

    Lovely and convenient property. Lots of good walks. We were lucky to watch the local hunt. Host was helpful in providing the checking in information promptly. Plenty of board games, books available. Absence of mobile reception was amply compensated by good wifi.

  • "The property was exactly as described and the owner was very helpful from initial booking."

    The location is remote however clear directions were provided. The owners made the home welcoming with lots of thoughtful touches. The main parts to note were the beds were very comfortable and the shower was modern and powerful. The accommodation is larger than the photographs appear but lots of amenities. The only negative was the WiFi wasn’t great however that’s to be expected in a remote location. Overall a great stay at a reasonable price!

    It was well equipped throughout the house, Lots of entertainment, games, dvd’s etc. A lovely welcome gift of Prosecco and home baked cakes from Jo the host and a disposable bbq. Very comfortable beds and lots of seating in the living room. Perfect location for visiting all of the Peak District. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return for another stay.

    We had a fantastic stay, the cottage has everything you need and more. The owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome, thank you again for the prosecco and strawberry tarts. It's clean, it's cosy, the beds are very comfortable. We didn't want to leave and the kids are already asking to go back.

  • "The cottage was lovely."

    A peaceful, beautiful setting and close to various places - 20min to Matlock Bath, 30min to Alton Towers. It was exceptionally clean and the owner had provided all the essentials - dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll, washing up liquid etc. She had also, very kindly left a bottle of prosecco and home made cake - a lovely touch. Good blackout curtains in bedrooms, so great for kids. Upstairs double could however do with a floor to ceiling mirror on the wall. Highly recommend the The Cock Inn at Mugginton. 5 min drive, food excellent and lovely restaurant with reasonable prices. Only slight negative is the fact there is only one main bathroom (shower) which is upstairs and as far away as it could be from downstairs bedroom. Ok if staying with close family, but may be an issue if staying as a group of friends. With a re-jig, the cloakroom toilet and under stairs could be made into a small shower room, which would make the cottage more appealing. I would definitely stay again if requiring accommodation in the area.

    It was warm, comfortable and very well equipped. Jo, the owner, was not intrusive, she sent e mails to check we were satisfied with the property and we had everything we needed which we were and did. The bed we used was very comfortable ( from a choice of three) Excellent amount of cups,plates etc. The heating system was easy to adjust to our needs ( instructions provided in welcome pack). The wood burner was a welcome adjunct for the colder evenings (cheapest logs in garage in Ashbourne) Altogether a very nice and relaxing 2 week stay.

    An easier solution would have been welcome. Once inside the welcome pack of Prosecco, cakes, bread, milk all very much appreciated as was the Happy birthday banner and the Fresh Flowers. Well equipped kitchen including a chair for a youngster, tea bags, coffee, washing up liquid etc. A Cheese knife and more pint glasses would help as would a washing machine, particularly if staying for a week. Very comfortable lounge with a large log burner. Great supply of games and DVD’s as well as a large TV. The downstairs bedroom would benefit from a wardrobe, it’s designed for two adults but nowhere to hang clothes. Maybe a wardrobe in place of the bookshelf. A working radiator would have been nice, the electric heater was ok but not very effective. The upstairs bedrooms were very nice with comfortable beds, great views and the main bedroom had a fantastic walk in wardrobe. The main bathroom was very well equipped with a great shower although one of the light bulbs in the shower cubicle was not working. Lovely views and there appeared to be a great garden area but not for us in November! Met the owner on arrival and was very welcoming. Good location for accessing Peak District attractions and walks and nice pub in the village. Overall, a convenient, well equipped, warm, cottage ideal for a short break and family celebration.

  • "The holiday cottage is perfect for up to a family of four."

    It is in a lovely, tranquil location with lots of country walks on the doorstep. It is also close to,Ashbourne, Matlock and Bakewell. The owners John and Jo go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. The cottage is well equipped and extremely clean throughout. We arrived to beautiful fresh flowers and provisions including homemade brownies and prosecco - thank you. John and Jo are happy to help you and know all about local walks etc. We felt instantly relaxed when we arrived until we left. We are hoping to return fairly soon.

  • "Wonderful accommodation and very warm hosts."

    This is an extremely welcoming and comfortable property with great living space. The lounge is beautiful with a lovely view of the surrounding countryside. We used this as a base for visiting places such as Drayton Manor, Matlock Bath, Derby and Chatsworth - a nice secluded spot but not too long a journey for our day trips. They also accommodated our requests for children - they bought 2 x stair gates especially, and provided a high chairs, children's books and games. We also got some lovely sparkling wine and crispy cakes on arrival!

  • "A really quiet, well equipped and newly renovated holiday cottage."

    We had a very pleasant weeks holiday cycling along the disused railway tracks in the area, and around Carsington Water. It was a pleasure always to come back to the very comfortable cottage at the end of the day. The weather was good and we would have loved to have stayed longer. We will probably look at revisting both the cottage and the area in the near future!

About the location

HULLAND WARD

Carsington Water 2.5 mile; Ashbourne 5 miles.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District lies the lovely village of Hulland Ward, which, nine centuries ago, was the Royal Duffield Forest of Frith. Hulland Ward is made up from a number of smaller hamlets including Hulland Moss, Hulland Upper, Nether Biggin and Hulland Village and is comprised of a scattering of traditional brick-built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, 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. The town offers a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters. For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, Carsington Water is one of the country's premier watersports centres, offering excellent sailing and a host of other activities including walking, bird watching, cycling and bridleways, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!
