"“JUST THE BEST” From booking to arrival we received all the information we would need for our stay."
On arrival a very generous welcome basket was there to greet us. The cottage was very clean and it has everything you need and is well kitted out. Perfect location with every amenity a short walk away, plenty of information leaflets in the property too. We had an issue on our first evening all our own doing I may add and the owners could not of been more helpful, understanding or generous in their prompt response. 10 out of 10 from us and we will be back again in the future. We cannot recommend this place enough.
Many thanks for your kind comments. Our guests experience is very important to us, as we appreciate that a trip away is so important for couples and families and we try to make this as positive as we can. We are glad you had an enjoyable stay and would love to welcome you back at a future point. Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Saddlers Cottage which probably says it all!"
Lovely cosy cottage close to the centre of Wirksworth. Wirksworth which has much to offer, not too big, not too small and lots of good walks out of the door. Wirksworth is also well served by buses and is at the Northern end of Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. Highly recommend.
So glad you enjoyed your stay again. We love Wirksworth too. X Property Owner

"Saddlers Cottage is a beautiful cottage which is very clean, comfortable and well maintained."
Lots of thought has been put into the facilities and all of our needs were catered for. For example small but essential items such as washing machine and dishwasher tablets. The owners gave us lots of information prior to our arrival and we were pleased to receive a lovely welcome pack. The cottage is perfectly located within central Wirksworth and represented excellent value for money. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. We do aim for our guests to have the best of times at Saddlers Cottage in a Market town that we love, and so it’s great to hear such appreciation. We look forward to welcoming you back again to further explore the wonderful Derbyshire Dales and High Peak. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, in good location for walking to shops and restaurants."
Everything was provided that we needed to make our stay comfortable, lots of lovely throws and cushions and everything we needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and had lots of wardrobe space and drawers for clothes. The owners contacted us before we arrived with information and a phone number for if we needed them, but as it happens, we didn’t need to contact them. There were a couple of nights that it was a bit noisy outside with people going by and chatting or getting in their cars presumably from being out in the pubs. Overall though we had a very pleasant stay.
Many thanks for your positive feedback and that you enjoyed your stay at Saddlers Cottage. Warm regards Mark and Kathryn. Property Owner

"We loved this property!"
Visiting Saddlers Cottage was our first holiday with the puppy and I couldn’t fault the accommodation. Lots of blankets to cover the sofas if needed, doggy treats on arrival and the cottage had a lovely homely feeling from the minute we walked in. Although this property is dog friendly there was no trace of previous dogs being there. The cottage was SPOTLESS. I’m terms of location Sadlers Cottage was perfect! A short walk to a pub, local shop, restaurants and cafes. Wirksworth was a lovely place to stay with plenty going on, even mid week. I would definitely book again!
Many thanks for your lovely positive feedback. We love it when guests enjoy the cottage and town of Wirksworth as much as we do. So glad you had a good time. Please do come again, we love to welcome returning guests. Warm regard Mark and Kathryn. Property Owner

We had a lovely stay, thanks x
Really glad you enjoyed your stay. Mark & Kath Property Owner

"Very comfortable and well equipped cosy cottage."
Lovely tasteful interior design - more like a boutique hotel than a holiday cottage. Situated in a central location in Wirksworth but very quiet with easy parking 2 minutes away. I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for this great feedback. So glad you enjoyed Saddlers Cottage and would love to welcome you back some time. Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in this beautifully decorated character cottage."
A generous welcome pack was provided and on-street parking was readily available. We were also grateful for the logs and kindling for the wood burner. Perhaps the only thing that detracted was the slight aroma of damp dog in the lounge.
Hi Many thanks for your helpful feedback and please accept our apologies if the lounge was not as fresh as you would have liked. We do accept pets and this is the first time that anyone has not been 100% happy with the freshness of this 300yr old character cottage. We will of course pass on your comments to the clean team to focus on keeping standards high. Property Owner

"Had a wonderful week at Saddlers Cottage in the lovely village of Wirksworth, which had a real community feel, would recommend getting the weekly parking permit which made the stay even more convenient (the car park is a 1 min walk away)."
The cottage was clean and comfy and the log burner gave it a nice cozy feeling, the location was excellent as a base for walks in the local area and for exploring further afield by car.
Thank you for this positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay ant Saddlers Cottage and the lovely market town of Wirksworth. Would love to welcome you back again at some future point. Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"Had such a lovely time at Saddlers Cottage."
The weather wasn't our friend, but the cottage made it very easy to stay in a play Scrabble, enjoy the wood burner and rest up! It's beautifully decorated and so comfortable with everything we needed, it would have been easier to stay for a lot longer. Wirksworth is lovely too and a good spot to explore the area. Thank you for making my Mum's birthday very special.
Many thanks for your lovely review of Saddlers Cottage. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we’re able to relax and enjoy yourselves, in spite of the weather. We look forward to welcoming you again at some future point. Warm regards Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"Saddlers Cottage is cosy, warm and welcoming."
Situated a stones throw from the village shops and pleasant walks . The people of Wirksworth are engaging and friendly which greatly adds to the enjoyment of the stay. Wirksworth is perfectly placed to explore the Peaks which we did and to come back to a warm well equipped cottage after a day in the country is just terrific. The bed is super comfy, fab. Will hopefully be returning at some point in the future. Cheers for a lovely stay. Rob
Many thanks for your great review! Very glad to hear that had a good stay and that the cottage played an important part of an enjoyable break in the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District. We look forward to welcoming you back at some future point. Warm regards Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"It’s a perfect gem to stay at and explore the Peak District."
It’s home from home with everything you need. After a day of exploring relaxing in front of the log fire (pure bliss). Five star rating. The pubs in Wirksworth are dog friendly and Matlock Bath only several minutes in the car.
Many thanks for your positive feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Saddlers Cottage and found it to be such a good base to explore the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District. We hope to see you again soon Warm regards Mark & Kathryn. Property Owner

"The property was clean and comfy with nice furnishings."
Lots of helpful extras like an iron & ironing board, clothes airer, fire guard, kitchen roll, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. The car park is nearby - we paid £25 for a week of parking, which included car parks in nearby towns like Matlock, Bakewell and Ashbourne. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Gorgeous cottage in a wonderful market town."
Great walks nearby and all the facilities you need nearby. We stopped with 2 boys aged 9 & 11 and there were plenty of walks. They particularly liked the cinema a couple of doors down. Lots of pubs and places to eat on your doorstep.

"Fabulous cottage."
A real home from home. Had everything we could possibly need for our 4 day stay. Amazing welcome pack - very thoughtful and generous. Super comfy bed and pillows. The cottage has been very tastefully decorated throughout. Wirksworth is a lovely location to stay in, very handy for visiting Bakewell, Matlock Bath, Buxton and Chatsworth House. We never had any issues with parking outside the cottage - which was a benefit. The cottage is within easy walking distance of the shops, restaurants and pubs. Would definitely stay again.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. So glad you had a good stay and would love to welcome you back again. Mark and Kathryn Property Owner

"Delightful, newly renovated cottage within steps of all Wirksworth’s amenities…including quirky, friendly pubs (Red Lion)!"
Cottage very comfortable, beautifully decorated with everything we could need for our three night stay. A thoughtful welcome pack and a bottle of prosecco with glasses on the table to greet us! Lovely touch! Parking not always available at the front of the cottage but we purchased a Derbyshire Dales Rover Pass for £10.90 which covered all our parking across the Peak District for our 3 day stay (Bakewell, Matlock, Ashbourne…) and overnight behind the cottage at Barmote Croft car park. The owners contacted us to say we could have the cottage earlier than 3pm to make the most of our stay as it was ready. We can thoroughly recommend Saddler’s Cottage!
Dear Linda, Many thanks for taking the time to provide your kind and helpful feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay at Saddlers Cottage. Hope to see you again if you are ever returning to Wirksworth. Warm regards Mark and Kathryn. Property Owner
