"Marsh Cottage sits in a quiet corner just outside of the hamlet of Stanton."
Nearby facilities are a short drive away. It is well equipped but could do with some extra cutlery and plates, between the four of us we needed to turn on the dishwasher every day or do a hand-wash. Lounge is very comfortable. Bedrooms are spacious - beds a bit too soft for our liking and door between second lounge and kitchen not closing properly. Bathroom also spacious and comfortable and quite nice to have an extra downstairs loo. The adjacent yard with shed, bungalow and caravan apparently do not belong to the cottage and were visited a couple of times by two men, tinkering on some thing or other and keeping themselves to themselves. Plenty to see and do nearby or a short drive away. Very happy that dishwasher tablets and toilet paper were provided as well as a welcome bottle of wine, flowers and biscuits.

"Good value, well equipped."
We had some difficulties finding the property in the dark. A "Marsh Cottage" sign by the roadside would have helped. Access to the village along small lanes requires 3 miles single tracked roads - a large SUV needs to squeeze carefully through passing places, and a small car bottomed out on the cambered track (but you expect that in the Perak District!)

"Really lovely place, very quiet and relaxing."
Plenty to see on the doorstep and a short drive to the holiday hotspots.

"The cottage was beautiful in a fabulous location for exploring the Peak District and surrounding areas as well as an exciting trip to Alton Towers, just a 12 minutes drive away!"
! The only issue we had was a lack of WiFi, as promised on the listing, other than that a fabulous cottage well maintained with some surprise extras such as tea, coffee, milk and biscuits.

"A very relaxing week in a lovely, comfortable cottage."
Well equipped throughout and felt very much at home. Owner was pleasant and helpful. Great location, out in the country but accessible to everywhere you need to get to. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

"Lovely cottage, amazing setting with lovely views and walks, very comfortable stay"

"Marsh Cottage at Stanton Derbyshire is extremely comfortable and set in a beautiful and peaceful surround."
Our week of being re-united with two friends was and is one that we shall treasure. The only small criticisms are that the oven on the cooker was two low for comfort of use and there was no key for the front door to be used in case of fire. Adrian & Mrs Mellor the owners were extremely helpful Keith & Gill Wallace highly recommend this holiday let.

"Lovely cottage out in the country."
Very comfortable and everything you needed. The only thing I would change would be directions to the cottage. We found the best way to the cottage was via Dale Lane (the turning for Thorswood Farm Shop) off the A52, then onto Town Head, then right onto Marsh Lane, past the church. With the other route the road is extremely narrow with no passing areas.

"Our second stay in this lovely cottage."
It is very comfortable. It was a bit chilly inside when we arrived and took a while to warm up once it was warm it was great. This cottage has everything you need for your stay. The garden is nice and there is more than ample parking. The cottage is sited off a fairly quiet country lane. Others have mentioned the lanes being narrow but we didn't find them too bad, generally we came in via the A52 near the Thorswood Farm shop. A good base for exploring the area.

"We felt at home immediately."
...tea, coffee, biscuits and flowers to welcome us. Surrounded by grass-munching sheep on misty fields. So peaceful. A perfect retreat from which to explore the beautiful Derbyshire Dale's.

"Cottage could do with some TLC."
Shower had all black in the cubicle. The flooring was all stained.
-
"Marsh Cottage totally met our expectations, it was comfortable, clean, well equipped and in a very peaceful location."
Ideally located for Alton Towers and a short drive to the Peak District. We would book again.

"We loved our time at Marsh Cottage."
The setting is beautiful and peaceful-it was so lovely to be surrounded by the sheep and cows. The cottage is comfy with everything we needed and plenty of space for the kids (they loved the snug and the garden especially). Lots to see within walking or driving distance and spoilt for choice with farm shops nearby! All in all a wonderful holiday.
-
"Marsh Cottage was a great place for us to unwind and spend time as a family together."
It has plenty of space and is well-equipped.
-
"Just before our holiday started we read a recent review so left home with some trepidation."
Totally unnecessary. The location was fabulous, exactly what we wanted, on its own along narrow winding roads. Fabulous countryside and walks on hand. Cottage is comfortable and inviting, had everything we needed in the well equipped kitchen and an ample provision of washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cloths ,tea towels ,bin bags and toilet rolls All the things you don’t want to have to pack to take or run out of during your stay. The decor and furniture is comfortable, exactly what we wanted. We don’t want to be surrounded with designer furniture and carpets when you feel too uncomfortable to relax after a long walk. Our stay was helped by an amazing weeks weather.

"We would like to make the following observations: Location: There are only three roads into Stanton, and two of these are single track lanes, with few passing places, many twists and turns, and steep inclines."
During our stay, because of heavy rain, there was also a lot of debris and gravel on the road, the edges were crumbling, while the few passing places had become a muddy quagmire. Visitors should be warned about this, as well as the fact that many local people drive 4X4s at speed along these narrow lanes. Furniture: The upholstered furniture in the two sitting rooms is old, tired and grubby-looking, as are the cushions. Bathroom: There are a number of unpleasant and unsightly stains on the bathroom floor, which is extremely off-putting. Garden furniture: The garden furniture is old and uncared for, as well as being placed in an area that rarely sees any sunshine. One of the slats in one of the benches had been replaced by a slat that is half an inch proud of the others. There was a general air of neglect typied by the hanging basket. Wi-fi: We had a problem with the wi-fi on arrival. For some reason, when it was working, it would only allow one device to connect, although we entered the correct password on each attempt. We notified the owner, who said that this hadn’t happened before, but she didn’t get back to us to find out how we had got on. In fact, if we hadn’t have phoned her, we would have had no contact at all during the week. Friends who use Sykes regularly were shocked and surprised when we told them about our experience – and we were disappointed, given your reputation. We did take some photographs but cannot attach them to this feedback form.

"Lovely warm, quiet, comfortable cottage in the country."
Only sheep for neighbours. Lovely enclosed garden. Plenty of parking. Comfortable sofas. Great central heating. A little bit tired decoration wise. Slightly dusty around the edges(skirting boards ect) I'm guessing time was used to ensure the cottage was disinfected for Covid-19 therefore it was very clean where it mattered all surfaces were very clean with lovely clean bed linens. I want to move in!

"Excellent base for Peak District and a warm and cosy cottage to return to at the end of the day."
-
"Really cosy and well equipped cottage situated in a beautiful location with easy access to lovely walks, the Tissington Trail, Chatsworth House and attractive towns and villages."
-
"The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful village and was ideal for us as it has no nearby houses, ideal with the Covid situation at the moment."
Lovely walks from the door and lots of places to visit. We were very lucky that the weather was glorious for the entire week.
-
"Great cottage and had everything we hoped for."
Very rural location so what we expected. Very clean and spacious. Only downside is we asked whether we needed dishwater tablets and toilet roll etc and were told no. However 2 dishwasher tablets and 4 toilet rolls doesn’t last a week for a family for 5 so we have to search for supermarket to restock when we would have brought some from home. Again though, small issue in a great place.

"A gorgeous cottage in a breaktaking setting."
-
"Lovely house and location, Ashbourne is nice and fabulous drive to Bakewell from property, Proximity to Alton Towers was a big plus, was so nice having a short drive back after a tiring day."
Felt the house itself although lovely needs sprucing up inside, new Sofa and Armchairs are needed or at least a very good clean but overall would definitely recommend.
-
"We had a lovely stay in Marsh cottage, it was well equipped and surrounded by lovely peaceful countryside."
It was very comfortable and well placed for exploring the peak district and surrounding areas. Our three children(aged 5,3 and 2 months) we very happy with the cottage and they particular liked the friendly cows and sheep in the next field.
-
"Very comfortable cottage in a quiet location, our second visit."
The 4G phone worked as a hub for internet connection. Shame the road from the village towards Waterhouses is closed for several months, had to use the narrow bendy road, take care.
-
