"What a beautiful place to stay."
Very cosy, comfortable, and set in the most beautiful grounds. We were there for 2 weeks and could have stayed longer. We were made very welcome by Joanne and Ian - great hosts. Walks from your doorstep were a bonus and the hot tub was a delight - private & perfect for after walk relaxing. So many lovely places to visit within 20-30 mins car drive. Highly recommend a visit. Thank you for the perfect place to relax and recharge the batteries.

"Truly the best week away ever."
If you’re thinking of booking this place, DO IT! Jo, Ian and their daughter were lovely- anything we needed was provided. The cottage was extremely cosy and clean upon arrival. There were clear instructions for everything. I don’t even know what to say as everything was 10/10 - the hot tub was amazing, the bed was comfy, our dog Kobe had the best week ever running around the enclosed garden. Kobe is a flight risk (he’s only 1 so his recall isn’t the best) and I felt safe with him off lead in the garden. The facilities were excellent; the kitchen was great to cook in with all utensils and kit provided. The bathroom was lovely. We got to do our washing and drying while away (which is a BIG help for returning home and not having to do it here!!) The area is also fantastic as well- so lush and green, nice and remote, plenty of places to eat out, good walks, nature. We will be coming back next year. The owners are truly running a fabulous place, just amazing. Thank you again- Amy, Ryan and Kobe (Liverpool)

"Had an amazing 4 day break at Woodland Lodge."
Very homely accommodation with plenty of space but also a cosy feeling with the open fire. Did not explore the area much as just wanted the time to relax, read and enjoy the hot tub. Although had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Bluebell Inn
-
"Woodland Lodge is the perfect wholesome and peaceful staycation!"
We had the best 3 nights with our dog. It’s a great location for exploring the Peak District, brilliant walks, charming small market towns & delicious food surrounds this cottage! Woodland Lodge felt a home from home & we didn’t want to leave, we will absoutely be booking back in! The owners were absoutely lovely, so accommodating & even introduced me to Ollie and their 3 ponies that I had been dying to stroke!! A brilliant stay, wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting the peaks!

"We had a wonderful stay at the cottage for a week."
What a wonderful, peaceful place and everyone is so friendly. We took a walk to the local village which was lovely and it was a great base for days out. We took our small dog who enjoyed the enclosed garden area and the walks of course! The cottage was very cosy with plenty of room, kitchen and bedroom was spacious and the lounge area was very comfortable. You will not be disappointed, great hosts, top property and lovely area.

The cottage and hot tub we're amazing and the scenery beautiful. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble ensuring our stay was comfortable.

"We had a fabulous week at Shaw Wood Farm."
The lodge (Woodland) was beautiful, clean and so peaceful. Ian and Jo made us feel so welcome and the little thoughtful touches in the lodge were lovely. Everything we needed was there. We look forward to visiting again next year.

"A FANTASTIC break."
The cottage was perfect with everything you needed to both unwind and explore the beauty of Derbyshire, knowing that you had a warm and cosy base to return too. Lovely walks right on the doorstep with Bluebell woods just seconds away. The hosts were brilliant, so friendly and helpful and if you get the chance, make sure you say hello to ROLO, there lovely four-legged friend. Now we have our own dog we only holiday in the UK and look for nice 'dog friendly' places to stay. This was the BEST YET! Thank you so much.

"Our second stay at Woodlands Lodge, I am sure it wont be the last."
Friendly hosts, great accommodation, spotlessly clean great enclosed garden so Phoebe (our hound) could also enjoy the holiday. Restful and quiet everything we wanted, oh and the hot tub superb.
-
"Lovely cottage & everything as described."
Hosts were welcoming and then left us to it which was great. Recommend that guests take the time to read the information book. White Hart at Duffield very welcoming.
-
"A quality cottage, extremely well renovated by the current owners in a beautiful location."
Anyone looking for a stay in this area would struggle to find better accommodation in this price range. Hosts were very friendly & accessible if needed, couldn't recommend more.
-
"Enjoyed a fantastic week at Woodland Lodge with stunning views from the hot tub and cozy evenings Infront of a roaring log fire."
Just perfect 10/10.
-
"What beautiful place in a lovely area of the country."
Our accommodation was Woodland Lodge and was perfect. It had all we need and more for our stay over the New Year period. Ian & Joanne the owners are so lovely & friendly we loved the log fire, hot tub & our fur balls Marley & Storm loved the large enclosed garden to play and have fun. Would love to return again and this place is definitely on our favourites list. Thank you Ian & Joanne for an amazing break.

"The property is beautiful we stayed for Xmas and it was beautifully decorated."
Very relaxing quiet stay the dog loved it. Fab time would highly recommend
-
"Wonderful stay in this huge cottage."
So beautiful. Tastefully decorated for Christmas. Very secure setting because of the double sets of gates. Basket of logs and firelighters/kindling were provided which was a nice touch. Cottage was spotless clean. Bed was very comfy but it is set up as a double so give them notice if you want singles. Hot tub is delightful but take a bluetooth speaker if you want to play music. Garden is secure for dogs. So peaceful except for the odd speeding train which you only hear from the garden. Only negative was no shampoo/shower gel. I didn't think to take my own.
-
"This is the third time we have stayed at Woodland Lodge and each time it has been fantastic."
A beautiful setting, clean, comfortable home from home. Loads to do in the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay, I'm sure we will be booking again in the future.
-
"Idyllic property, the hot-tub was wonderful and the area so peaceful."
The cottage was very comfortable with a good range of kitchen equipment. Ian and Joanne were friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"A lovely, well maintained cottage in a fantastic location which was perfect for our time away with our puppy."
Plenty of local walks, great places to eat and easy access to towns like Bakewell and Matlock.
-
"A beautiful, peaceful, home from home!"
We would highly recommend Woodland Lodge. Everything you need is on the doorstep. The walled garden was super safe for our dogs, hot tub for after long walks to relax into. The owners of the property were always on hand if needed and really lovely. Perfect getaway! Thank you so much.
-
"Woodland Lodge exceeded our expectations."
It really is homely , warm and peaceful . The owners have made it really comfortable and cozy and the garden and surrounding walks ( fields and forest ) are a delight. Everything in the property was perfect and the log burner and hot tub made it that bit more special . Although secluded and peaceful the proximity to villages , roads and attractions in the Dales is great . A definite must to visit - Thankyou Ian and Jo
-
"Absolutely amazing cottage, well equipped, and owners where lovely, beautiful ..."
Absolutely amazing cottage, well equipped, and owners where lovely, beautiful walk right on your step, will definitely be coming back
-
"What a relaxing stay in this exceptional cottage."
Everything was better than we ever imagined. Great layout and with the absolute benefit of the enclosed garden keeping Phoebe (the dog). The hot tub was also fabulous and a great way to unwind in the day.
-
"Beautiful cottage, much more spacious than the pictures suggest."
Lovely location and scenery. Sitting in the spa, watching the sun go down over the ruins on the horizon will live long in our memories! Only downside would be noise, which came from 2 main sources. Firstly, the high-speed train line about 50 yards away, and second from the works on the next-door site ( and accompanying site traffic going up and down the lane ). It didn't spoil our trip though!
-
"We had a really enjoyable stay, very comfy, and loved the location."
Definitely will come again. There is use of a freezer although not mentioned in the description.
-
"This property was just perfect in such an amazing setting."
We have a 14 month old and two dogs and I cant recommend this cottage enough. Walks on your doorstep and easy reach of all amenities including local pubs within walking distance for food and drinks. We will definitely stay again! Extra comfy bed too and such beautiful original features and setting. Nothing was too much trouble and extremely friendly and helpful host. Beautiful private secure garden with hot tub, pergola and wooden swing. Truly beautiful and thank you for sharing such a beautiful property.
-
"Outstanding property for a truly relaxing break."
The Lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for our holiday. The bed is so comfortable and results in a fantastic night sleep. Hot tub well cared for and clean with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Definitely on our return list…thanks for a wonderful stay…
-
"Fabulous cottage."
Location perfect. Hot tub a bonus. Great secure garden, wonderful for the dogs, also great that dogs were allowed. Lovely walks on the doorstep, not far to the village if you wanted the pub. Really lovely little break for me. Would've been good to have a freezer......only to make ice cubes, but I'm just being picky because truly couldn't fault it. Xx
-
"Ian and Jo thank you for your hospitality."
You have created something special and it’s been an absolute pleasure staying at Woodland Lodge. Couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and relaxing place and even in the cold weather the hot tub makes it that little bit more amazing. It was our second visit and we hope to be back next year. Thank you!!
-
"We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful cozy cottage."
Every room Is to a very high standard. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making their guests comfortable and have certainly made the place literally feel like you could Live there. The surroundings are superb and ideal for a quiet luxury getaway. We wouldn’t hesitate to re-book. Allie Bray.

"We had a lovely week and would thoroughly recommend ."
-
"Woodland Lodge is an extremely spacious one bedroom barn conversion amid beautiful scenery."
With friendly helpful hosts, a great hot tub and comfortable bed, we would thoroughly recommend this property, which even accepts dogs. Great place.
-
"Excellent cottage and location."
-
"When we arrived we had to clean the fridge out because there had been a spillage of milk over the bottom of the fridge that had dried and needed cleaning before we could place any of our items in the fridge."
The coffee was stale, the cottage needed a good dusting, there was a dirty rug at the back of the living room which we had no idea why, the main bathroom needs more ventilation and got so musty from condensation mould is growing in there, you couldn’t open any windows around that area so when you went to sleep at night you felt you were breathing in damp, the bed is two single beds pushed together! The small toilet leaked, barely anything matched in the kitchen and all the mugs were dirty. There seems to be a problem with damp because there’s moss growing on the outside of the building and when it was slightly wet on the brick driveway you really had to watch where you walked or you slipped over. No robes provided for the hot tub, we had to go and buy some during our stay. Good location and a great hot tub. Only met owner and he was pleasant and helpful. Wouldn’t go back due to the damp issues mentioned.
-
"A great cottage which was clean and tidy throughout."
The enclosed garden was an excellent feature which meant that the dog could just wander in and out as he pleased. The location to the rest of the Peak District was good and not far from the main shops in Alfreton for supplies. Would definitely look to book this cottage again in the future
-
"Fantastic property."
Everything we needed and more was available. Welcoming hosts. Would definitely return and recommend A+++++
-
"We just spent a wonderful week at Woodland Lodge with our 2no chihuahua,s."
It is a beautiful property, with excellent facilities, & a lovely secure garden. Good location for visiting the national park, lovely part of the world, excellent walks. We would definitely book this property again. Thanks Lawrence.
-
"Lovely place."
Great location. Smashing hosts.
-
"Beautiful, very well presented barn conversion on the owners property."
Lovely views across the valley from the hot tub. Very quiet, despite being near a railway line. We needed a quiet, restful week and we got it. The accommodation is beautifully decorated with lots of little niches dotted around. It had everything needed for a week away, (though could possibly do with an outside tap or sink to clean dirty boots and dogs). I would highly recommend this property
-
"Absolutely perfect in every way."
The directions to the property are very good (do not rely on the postcode for Satnav!) The lodge is very spacious, beautfully appointed and comfortable. Kitchen is well-equipped (washing machine and freezer is available on-site but not in the lodge). Hot-tub is divine, perfect temperature and well-maintained. The garden is safe and secure. Finally, the hosts Jo & Ian are fantastic.
-
"The whole experience was fantastic and the cottage is absolutely beautiful ,really enjoyed our stay it was really relaxing!"
-
"Lovely cottage."
Just what we imagined.
-
"Absolutely loved our stay everything we hoped for."
Cottage lovely location nice and quite and hot tub fantastic. Hosts brilliant. All in all a fantastic break away would highly recommend.
-
"Fabulous old stone barn conversion with loads of space to relax."
Tons of character. Quality of all services (heating / hot water / shower/ TV/ wifi / external lighting / kitchen etc) was first class. Bed a bit soft and bouncy for our taste but that is very much an individual preference. Hot tub fabulous.... really professional installation with lovely frame / roof surround with built in "fairy lights". A real treat. Good walks through the woods from the cottage itself. Also up to the runed manor house (Maps / walk guides would have been a welcome addition). Very high quality food served at The Dog at Prentice (5 minute drive). Wonderful, relaxing stay
-
"Lovely location The comfiest bed ever All in all a relaxing break"
-
"We stayed at the beginning of Sept 2021."
Ian & Jo were lovely hosts and our stay absolutely lovely.. There are loads of nice walks without or without a four legged friend and the food served at local (recommended) pubs excellent. Woodland Lodge is also a great base to explore across the peaks and Derbyshire/Notts generally. Great facilities especially the hot tub which was perfect at the end of a long day. Would definitely recommend Woodland to anyone & would love to stay again at some point.
-
"Wonderful property, very welcoming hosts!"
Well situated and the hot tub was superb! Highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful accommodation in a truly wonderful setting."
Ian and Jo are fantastic host's and the cottage was so clean and well kept. Amazing walks from the doorstep and a huge fully enclosed garden for the dogs to run and play in. We had the best week and would definitely book again. A perfect holiday.
-

"Lovely cottage, very homely and comfy"
-
"Lovely, large, stone barn conversion in a beautiful countryside setting, with all the facilities needed for a week in and around the Peak District including a hot tub in the private fully-enclosed garden."
The owners are very friendly, welcoming & relaxed. Although the cottage is south east of the peaks, all of the Peak District is within easy reach, and there are local footpaths directly from the cottage. We loved it & would happily return & will recommend it to friends & family.
-
"Superb accommodation, the owners are friendly and extremely helpful."
Very peaceful and cosy, we loved the hot tub and garden. There are some lovely walks nearby. Would not hesitate to recommend
-
"Lovely cottage."
Fantastic hosts. Thoroughly recommend
-
"We had a superb week at The Woodland Lodge."
Everything we needed plus “The Hot Tub”. Which was very much appreciated after our long days out walking the Peaks. Everything is maintained very well. Everything is very clean and Jo and Ian the owners were very welcoming. Location is great for visiting Bakewell, Mans Tor, Dovedale, Buxton etc but we also did two lovely big walks from the door step. Super dog friendly too. The perfect week was had. We will definitely be going back.
-
"Really lovely stay at a beautiful, spacious lodge."
The homely touches and huge space really sets it apart from other similar places. Loved the fire and hot tub in the evenings. Comfy sofas and beds, great kitchen for preparing food and a lovely secure garden space for our dog to run around. Ian and Jo are brilliant hosts, very welcoming and friendly. They’re onsite and available if needed but not stepping on your toes! Really loved our stay and would book again in a heartbeat!
-
"The cottage was absolutely stunning, there was so much space and the facilities in the cottage were excellent."
We especially enjoyed the hot tub (apart from getting out into the cold!). We had the dogs with us and the garden was great for them, it was enclosed so they could be let outside without fear of them running off. The cottage was lovely and warm and even the flagstone floors didn't freeze bare feet. The owners were very friendly and we got to know Sunny the pie bald cob who is very friendly. It was a wonderful break and we felt refreshed after our stay.
-
"Woodland Lodge was a lovely relaxing place to stay for our anniversary."
The owners Ian and Jo made you feel so welcome. The cottage was even better than the pictures. It’s an ideal place for visiting places like Buxton, Matlock and Bakewell. We enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. We would happily recommend Woodland Lodge.
-
"Woodland lodge is amazing , we didn’t want to leave !"
It was so peaceful even the dog chilled out The lodge was so homely , cosy & ideal for a relaxing holiday Near enough to local towns & villages for shopping trips to the local markets. Jo & Ian were wonderful hosts and were very helpful & have done a fantastic job with the lodge Will defo book again
-
"Fantastic cottage and Owners."
Would recommend a break here to anyone.
-
"We had a fantastic week away in this beautiful place and were so lucky to have lovely weather too."
Me, my partner and our dog Jake loved every minute of our time away, the garden was also fully enclosed meaning Jake could wonder round at his leisure Jo and Ian are so lovely and welcoming, Meg the dog is lovely and Jakey absolutely adored Sunny the Pony. We will definately be back again. Only suggestions I have is...umbrella for the garden would be welcomed especially in warmer weather and a dog poo bin of sorts, once picked up the poo would be nice to be able to place it somewhere. Thanks so much for a wonderful and memorable weeks stay in paradise xx
-
"The photographs don't do the lodge justice."
Lovely quiet setting, beautiful, comfortable accommodation. One tip: if you like ice in your drinks take an ice bucket as the freezer is in a separate, but close, building. We will be rebooking.
-
"Great facilities and the property is fantastic the amount of space for two people is great especially with two dogs"
-
"The owners were easy going and stress free,the scenery was beautiful,and have no doubts we will be back again next year."
-
"The cottage is comfortable and well equipped."
The private garden catches the sun late into the evening and hot tub is perfect for relaxing after walking. Ian and Joanne are excellent hosts and on hand if needed. There is a lovely walk from the cottage through a wooded area leading back to the cottage.
-
"The cottage was absolutely perfect, it had everything that we needed and more."
The garden was lovely and the dog loved running around and playing it in. The farm was really easy to find and the owners were just the loveliest people and made us feel at home and welcomed straight away. We will definitely be staying again.
-
"The cottage itself was excellent, very clean and comfortable inside."
A great hot tub outside and an good sized enclosed garden. We went with a young dog who loved being able to sprint around the garden all day long. The owners were very friendly and available for any issues we had. Good location for a relaxed holiday too, a half hour walk to some nice restaurants or country pubs. Would happily recommend and visit again.
-
"This is a truly remarkable property in a beautiful setting."
It provided all we could have wished for and then some!
-
"We had a wonderful break at Woodland Lodge - the hosts were so kind and they really had thought of everything."
The cottage was beautiful and so spacious, our dog Gus loved the space in the enclosed garden and the hot tub was a total treat for us. This was complemented with amazing scenery and great walks, even in the stormy weather!
-
"Absolutely loved our time here,was just what we needed,the cottage was amazing added touches of Xmas tree and decorations was lovely."
A visit to Chatsworth house is a must,plenty of places to eat in Matlock but we didn’t feel the need as didn’t want to leave the cottage so had chilled days in with the bonus of the hot tub.
-
"The cottage is on private land in a beautiful countryside, perfect for a couples retreat."
The furnishings are of high quality and very homely. There's plenty of things to do around the area in terms of pubs, sites to see and shops to visit. We were made to feel very welcome and will definitely consider returning when we come back to the area.
-
"We have recently come back from a long weekend break here and had a fantastic time."
The cottage is beautiful and well looked after it had everything we needed. The cottage is dog friendly and he loved it.

We will be booking another stay here as well as recommending this holiday cottage stay to our family and friends.
-
"Beautiful property in great location for dog walks."
Friendly and helpful owners.
-
"What a fantastic cottage this is, if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing break this is the place to come."
The owners Jo and Ian (and their family) are all really friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. The standard of the conversion and decor is top notch with a lot of thought being put into the detail. The garden is lovely, private and secure for the dogs and the hot tub was great and completely covered so we even used it whilst it was raining! We will definitely be back
