"The house and it's situation was fantastic, having everything you need for an enjoyable stay, although parking could sometimes be an issue."
It is very central for places to visit and Belper itself is a great town for shops and the picturesque riverside gardens. The local fish and chips shops were amazing! (Kings and Nick's)The welcome pack was a lovely thought and appreciated (forgot to bring home the honey

"Please find below our findings at 60 Swinney lane, Belper On arrival we could not stop the smoke detector from blipping and spent hours trying to get an answer from emergency phone numbers in the information leaflets."
Only to find that the people who had the numbers were in Japan! We eventually managed to speak to someone at Sykes who e mailed the owner. Eventually the owners daughter arrived and changed the battery. I must say that the young lady in question was very polite and helpful. The reviews stated that they received a welcome pack on arrival. All we were left were a cupboard with half used items, jams, sauces and other food items. The freezer was situated in a brick built shed the door of which was rotten and was hard to open. Once we did get into the freezer it was covered in debris that had fallen from ceiling. On opening the freezer we found three packets of half eaten ice creams! Towels provided we not much bigger than a t towel and there was no spares in the blanket box, unfortunately this was empty. Inside we found the floors to be dirty as was the table in the dining room. On inspecting the oven we found that it needed a good clean as was the grill pan and two metal trays left in the main oven. The shower cubicle needs re grouting and the shower water does not get very hot. The outside terrace area needed sweeping and tidying, the mat by the back door looked Jurassic and is falling apart. The BBQ had been emptied but the grill was filthy. All in all we were very disappointed with our stay. This is a very lovely cottage that has the potential to be a great holiday location.

"I have spoken to the owner about our particular issues."
The property is not suitable at present for holiday makers with disabilities. There was safety issues with the front door step, shower, bath and shower cubicle for disabled users. The stairs are too tight but being a cottage the owner cannot do anything about that but advertise as such. He is taking some on board that’s why I don’t want to under score him. A nice touch was bread, honey, butter, chocolate’s and wine left for us, milk also but opened. Please re advertise the disability faults
Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the welcome pack. We are sorry the property was not suitable for yourselves, it is not actually advertised as disabled friendly. It is clear from the pictures that there are different levels at the property however we have added a note to say the property may not be suitable for people with mobility issues. Property Owner

"Enjoyed our stay at this very dog friendly cottage."

"Lovely cottage with a beautiful view from the kitchen window over the valley."
Cottage has everything you need, very thoughtful having handwash at every sink, even shower gel in bathrooms and plenty of toilet roll. The kitchen has tea, coffee, sugar etc, and a lovely welcome basket including milk and bread. The outside has steps up to a seating area with bbq which would be great In summer time. Fully enclosed area which was perfect for our dogs. Valley view is a lovely base to visit Matlock, Derby Dale, Bakewell with some lovely scenic walks. Just down the street is a footpath where you can walk the dogs with a great view of the valley. It’s a short walk into the town of Belper and there are plenty of places to eat locally. Parking is easy on the street outside the property. Thank you for a lovely few days.
