• "We booked a 3 night stay at Dove cottage having looked at a number of options in and around the Derbyshire area and were finally swayed by other guests reviews."

  We found the cottage spacious, clean and well appointed with good quality furnishings and very comfy bed. There were little extras that were most welcome and Simon, the owner, was welcoming and friendly. The cottage is located in the centre of Clowne, a former mining village, and there are supermarkets, dining options and a number of pubs in easy walking distance. For dog owners there are a number of areas to walk your pooch both within the town and a short drive away. Chatsworth and other lovely Peak District attractions are within a short drive so the cottage is a suitable base from which to explore. The cottage garden is pretty with established plants and shrubs and offers a secure area for your dogs to wander once the gates are closed. We enjoyed our stay and would gladly return.

  A real pleasure to meet you both and we are delighted that you found the cottage suitable to your needs. If you do plan a return visit please note that the cottage will revert to being a family home in January 2025. All good wishes and thank you for your thoughtful review. Property Owner

• "Had a lovely stay at Dove Cottage."

  Cottage has everything you need and is very spacious. Spotlessly clean with a lovely cottage garden with plenty of seating and dining out options too. If taking a dog you can simply close the gates to ensure a secure enclosed space. The area is great, plenty of local supermarkets and food and drink options and things to do. Simon was a lovely host, very friendly and always available should you need him. Lovely gesture of flowers, milk and biscuits on arrival. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return for a long weekend soon.

  A real pleasure to meet you both. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Derbyshire and we would be delighted to welcome you back. Please note that the property will revert to a family home in January. All good wishes. Property Owner

  Such a lovely touch from the owners leaving fresh milk and biscuits for arrival! Only thing I would say is the larger bedroom could do with some blackout curtains as it was very bright in here until very late on and we ended up having to all sleep in the smaller room however this is a very small detail! Overall lovely cottage and would 100% book again!

  Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Dove Cottage and would be pleased to welcome you back. One note of caution. We are taking no further bookings after January 2025 when the cottage will revert to a family home. We appreciate your suggestion re the curtains in the main bedroom. So much so that we have already changed the light curtains for darker ones. Best Regards. Property Owner

• "Lovely place very central to lots of country houses and parks."

  Very convenient for a takeaway and nearby shops. Cottage had plenty of home comforts a shame we didn’t know about the dog parafinalia as brought our own which took up a bit a space in the car. I would suggest that instructions for all the electrical appliances was made available as all are different. The only negative was the sofa nearest the TV should be on the back wall as was difficult to watch where it was placed and gave you neck ache so needed to reposition it. Overall would recommend it to friends and family.

  Thank you for your thoughtful review. We always try to make the cottage homely and especially welcome owners and their dogs. The bowls, spare lead, emergency tins of dog food and throws are there for the occasional guest who forgets an item or two in packing. We’re always happy for guests to rearrange the furniture to suit their needs and are pleased you felt free to do this. Property Owner

• "A little too far from National park!"

  The property is small but was big enough for us 3. It is rather dated and would benefit from a upgrade of furniture and shower. Close to shops which was a benefit and a park next door. Owner left us milk etc for our arrival which was a nice touch.

  We are sorry everything was not to your wishes. The rooms are actually well above standard size for a two bedroom cottage and the furniture has been recently purchased from Marks and Spencer and John Lewis, and many other guests have been kind enough to find it worthy of praise. We wish you well in finding properties more suited to your needs in future. Property Owner

  Very well equipped kitchen and both bed and sofas were comfortable (a rare find!) Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were left for us on arrival which is always a nice touch. Property was very clean and well maintained. Front garden area -where you can park your car - is slabs and flower beds, which proved to be a slight problem when it rained as our dog then got very muddy feet everytime we let her out (she won't toilet on slabs so was having to use the soil areas) Luckily we always take a microfiber towel so could clean them off before she reached the cream carpet. Very well placed for a lot of adventures. Nice walk starts just 100 yrds away and plenty of places to drive to locally. Also a very short walk to supermarkets, takeaways and pubs.

• "Very misleading."

  The photos must be outdated as they resemble nothing like the actual property…i.e front garden overgrown could just get car on to park. Not the same table and chairs in yard. Place could do with complete overall.. Dirty walls , banister ,staircase skirting boards..the shower rail was a disgrace and the toilet seat was a disgusting pee yellow colour. My wife would not get a shower or sleep in the bed. We stopped 1 night and went home..we have been on several Holidays with yourself (Sykes) but this property as let you down…

  Thank you for your feedback. As is clearly documented below in the previous 32 reviews plus 6 on Booking.com, the above review is an anomaly. We are very sorry that Mr Appleyard left a day early and wish him every success in finding accommodation more to his taste in the future. In our opinion, the property is accurately reflected on Sykes website. The garden has matured into a genuine cottage garden affording greater privacy as well as interest with flowers, fruit bushes, birds, butterflies and bees, and even the occasional squirrel. It is a delightful place to sit out in good weather with many guests enjoying picnics and barbecues. Most guests are delighted to find ample off-road parking which is still exactly as in the photographs. The garden furniture in the photographs was beginning to show signs of wear and has been upgraded with superior replacements. The main rooms have been redecorated in the last 12 months and some facilities have also been upgraded; the Smart television, washing machine and fridge/freezer are all improvements on the good quality goods they replaced. We constantly renew bedding from quality sources. All bedding for this particular visit was brand new. The staircase is due for re-decoration which would have already happened (paint etc purchased and time off work arranged) for the week commencing 9th July but we received a last-minute booking which we felt bound to honour. The cottage is deep-cleaned weekly at every changeover. It is a property we are immensely proud of and the very many positive reviews show it to be a clean, comfortable and delightful place to spend time. We take complaints seriously and will address them directly and respect everybody’s right to an opinion. We feel however, that the 38 very positive reviews more accurately reflect the real Dove Cottage. The owners. Property Owner

  When we arrived, the first we noticed was how clean the house was which in the current times was much appreciated. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and has everything you could need. In the lounge there is two comfy sofas and a smart tv. Both bedrooms were really well furnished with comfortable beds and high quality bedding. The only thing I would mention is I think the twin beds are slightly smaller than a standard single bed (maybe 2ft6 instead of 3ft?). This was ok though as we pushed the two singles together. Compact bathroom but great shower and lovely toiletries. Would highly recommend this house to anyone. It is in a great location just 5 minutes from the M1 and in the centre of the town but very peaceful and quiet. Coming from the city, it was so nice to hear the birds in the morning instead of the traffic! Simon, the host, is a nice guy and you can tell that alot of love and care has been put into the property. Everything was high quality and we will definitely be back later in the year.

It is a lovely village with a few local pubs, a cute one is The Crafty Clowne. It has very nice decor, plenty of outdoor tables, nice staff and good range of drinks. The cottage has a spacious main bedroom, a roomy second bedroom, and a good bathroom . The rooms are well maintained with top quality towels, toiletries etc. The lounge and kitchen also are well equipped with quality goods. Good WiFi. There is a good outdoor space with table and chairs for relaxing in the good weather and a parking space for the car, even two small cars. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay here again.

• "A lovely cottage with excellent facilities."

  Spacious and clean. A beautiful garden with lots of birds, it kept me entertained while I was washing up! There's an old disused railway line close to the cottage, perfect if you've got a dog. The village shops are minutes away from the cottage. There are loads of Country Parks and Nature Reserves close to Clowne. It's a perfect location.. We really enjoyed our stay...... Thank you Simon.

• "The joy of Dove Cottage is that it is not in the Peak District."

  But so close bye if one wanted to visit it Britain's busiest National Park. Situated near the center of a small town we could support the High Street facilities which is important to us. Next door to the cottage is a disused railway that one can walk for miles without getting lost. Dove cottage is simply one of the best we have booked over the last ten years. Full marks to the owners.We will be back again!

  I would give a extra mark, just for the fact that there was a egg timer, it's the first time that any place I have been to that has had one.

• "The cottage was well equipped,clean,comfortable and most of all really dog friendly."

  The owner Simon only lived a few doors down and was more than welcoming. We had the most wonderful welcoming pack left for us would definitely go here again. The dog walks near by where a real treat right on the door step, met quite a few people while we were out and about with our dog. One thing it doesn’t say on Sykes cottages is that IT HAS GOT a good size fridge and freezer which we were pleased about.

• "Lovely cottage in a great location."

  Shopping for food was easy and plenty of other shops too. Easy to take the dogs out for their morning and evening walks as we were right next to the local dog walking area. The owners of the cottage were fantastic, welcoming, warm and extremely accommodating. I will most certainly go back again and I have already recommended this particular cottage to friends.
