  • "Thorntree Lodge is a real gem."

    This property was ideal for visiting the peak district and easily housed 4 adults and our dog and also had more than adequate space for visitors. Several easy to reach dog walks can be accessed from the property and the lodge itself is very dog friendly as are the owners whom share the adjacent farmhouse. We enjoyed a relaxing 5 day stay that included 2 elderly ladies that found the one level property together with an easy access shower the ideal setup. A small enclosed garden/driveway was more than adequate for our pooch to do its business etc and the nearby farmyard had a tap and hose so as to washdown wellies and the dog after some muddy but delightful walks. A BIG thank you to the owners whom were friendly, welcoming and very helpful without being at all intrusive and made our stay all the more relaxing. Put Thontree Lodge on your places to stay and you will not be disappointed.

  • "Shabby exterior, weeds and nettles."

    Decking slippery when wet. Interior better. Spotless bathroom although mirrors not cleaned. Windows filthy, had the remains of dog drool on the glass and kiddies finger prints. Wardrobe smelt of cigarette smoke. Lampshades full of dust and cobwebs hanging from ceiling corners. Toaster had food remains left in. Hob not cleaned and oven trays not cleaned. No instructions of appliances. The bed was comfy and decent bedding but a drab grey colour. Plenty of hot water. There was a toy found under the bed and the owner made a joke of saying his daughter had not cleaned under the beds. Beware of the Labrador dog which is domineering with other dogs and attacked my dog. The owner was quick to say that his dog did not bite mine, even so it upset us and my dog. This is the first time that we did not get a welcome pack. We had been travelling a long time on the road and was in need of a drink and something to eat. A bottle of milk and some biscuits would have been nice. Also it states that the property is in Rowsley. We was then navigated up some narrow, winding, pot ridden roads. No shops around. Too dangerous to walk your dogs on the roads but the owner did allow us to use his fields. One of the windows had all so had blown glass. The place was warm.

  • "A great location for exploring the area, very central for Bakewell, Chesterfield and Matlock."

    Thorntree Lodge was well equipped with everything we needed for a three night stay. Ample room with three spacious bedrooms and a large kitchen/dining/lounge area. Warm and cosy for our frosty winter escape with the dog. The lodge is adjacent to the farmhouse, situated in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. It was the perfect getaway.

  • "Property was lovely spotlessly clean."

    Quietly situated but close places like Chatsworth and popular Peak District destinations. Although weather when we went didn't allow it, there was an area for sitting outside and eating. Enjoyed some short walks from the property. Hope to return.

    All facilities were spot-on and well cared for. There is a dedicated parking spot, private fenced garden and you don't feel overlooked, giving a feeling of privacy whilst knowing the hosts are not far away should you need anything. The hosts are extremely helpful and accommodating and will ensure you have the best experience during your stay. Even got visited by a curious chicken! Would definitely recommend.

    The property was brilliant and very clean and well maintained. The location was very tranquil and quiet. Enjoyed watching the birds and the chicken that roams about and the two little dogs.

  • "We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend Thorntree Lodge."

    Great distances (in the car) from Matlock, Rowsley, and the Peak District. Even though it rained on and off throughout our time it didn't matter. There was milk in the fridge on arrival along with tea and coffee - who doesn't want a lovely hot drink after any commute? There was also a pub quiz game to keep us entertained on a rainy afternoon. Towels and linen were fresh and laid out on the beds. Easy arrival. Our host was extremely helpful beforehand and during our stay. We would definitely recommend and go back for another break away. Many thanks!

    A couple of small improvements would be a clock in the living area and mirrors in the two twin bedrooms - other than that it was perfect - just a shame about the weather!!

  • "The lodge is beside the owners home and they made us very welcome."

    Plenty secure parking for a t least 2 cars. We stayed for 6 nights and found the facilities and furnishings were excellent and of good quality. The owners have thought of everything for a self contained break. The lodge is warm with plenty of hot water for showers/ baths together with a well equipped kitchen including washing machine. The double bedroom has a roomy en suite. Although the decking and small garden look great the weather did not really allow us to make much use of them but they were very secure for the dog or children and had good quality garden furniture. Location is excellent being surrounded by fantastic countryside with lovely walks and views yet only 10-15 minutes drive from Matlock, Bakewell, Chesterfield and a bit further to Buxton. Lots to do and see from a very comfortable base. I would recommend this lodge unreservedly and I know we will go back

This little village has many attractions, including Caldwell's Mill which houses the last water-powered roller flour mill and a range of craft workshops, shops and a restaurant, Peak Rail, which is a rail enthusiasts dream with rides along the valley, and the Peak Village which has many outlet shops with bargains galore together with feature attractions, a fitness centre and an old fashioned sweet shop and ice cream parlour.

The village is also a hub for walkers and cyclists with many picturesque Peak District trails being accessible including the Derwent Valley cycle way, the Monsal Trail and the Rowsley Bar Hill Climb. Close by is Bakewell, capital of the Peak District, and home of the famous Bakewell pudding (definitely not tart!), still made locally to an old and secret recipe.
