Bluebird Cottage

We loved our stay!

The hosts were so friendly and the cottage was clean and cozy. Truly felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend it!

Amazing little cottage!

Hosts are lovely and we love the fresh eggs provided; they are tasty! The cottage was clean, quiet and tidy. The view from the cottage was stunning and the horses were beautiful.

We love this cottage and it's location.

It as everything you need for a really enjoyable stay .the owners are very friendly .love to see the goats and donkeys .lovely walks from the cottage .also the railway trails are good to walk along or cycle.

We had the most wonderful time in this lovely homely cottage.

The Donkeys were delightful and they.loved the carrots we gave them. The cottage was so clean with new carpets, comfy sofa and beds. The kitchen well equipped. Lots of national trust properties near by and places to visit and walk. We wished we could stay longer, so peaceful and calm, just what we needed, we didnt want to come home. Thanks very much. Marie and Alex. Xx

Cosy, comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Great location for exploring the area and visiting Alton Towers. We loved seeing the Donkeys, goats & pony everyday. Owners were really friendly and accessible if needed. Lots of really nice places within a short distance in the car. Highly recommend staying here.

A beautiful cottage with everything you could need.

Warm and comfortable. Great nights sleep. Accommodating hosts. Loved feeding the donkeys and the goats. Would love to say here again in the future.

Gorgeous little cottage, exactly as listed on the website.

Really welcoming owners, we really enjoyed the eggs we received on the table when we arrived. Really quiet and comfortable, perfect for a getaway. Our little one loved seeing and feeding the animals, the donkeys and the big goats were his favourite! Had all the facilities you could need. We've already talked about wanting to come back again in the future.

What a gem we will definitely be back.

Kids loved feeding the donkeys and goats. Fantastic rural location and picturesque views on the drives to the nearest towns and attractions. Kitchen is well equipped. Can’t wait to return as so much to do and visit around.

Peaceful and delightful cottage situated in a quiet location yet within easy reach of main roads and towns in the Peak District.

Parking on site available. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting area and bedrooms. Super soft towels and bedding included. The whole cottage was spotless! The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend this cottage and would have no hesitation on returning.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable.

Very soft towels and comfy bedding. Everything we needed was there in the kitchen and delicious fresh eggs too. Well kept open large garden area. The location was perfect for exploring the area and the farm animals were a big hit with the kids. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The emergency light in the bedroom was too bright during the night

The Bluebird cottage was beyond our expectations.

Very pleased with our accommodation, which was well equipped and modern furnishings in all rooms, including extras like towels, hand wash etc., In a very peaceful rural environment surrounded by fields from the back of cottage. Plenty of places to visit within easy reach. Would highly recommend as an ideal relaxing get away or retreat. (The only thing I would suggest is to take an eye mask to aid sleeping as bed rooms are illuminated brightly by a green exit security light. Thanks

The cottage is immaculate and all the fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard.

We only had one small niggle which was the fire exit light in the second bedroom which was on permanently and very bright! Perhaps that could be addressed in some way?

The cottage was exactly as shown on the website.

The owners were very friendly and accommodating even providing free eggs! Overall our stay was lovely and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and pleasant get away.

It’s the 3rd time we have stayed at bluebird cottage and always have an an enjoyable break lovely and peaceful .

Luv seeing and feeding the donkeys and goats . And the owners are very friendly and helpful.we have booked to go back next year. Highly recommended .

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage.

There was everything we needed. The children loved playing in the garden and looking at the goats and donkeys. It was the perfect location for us to explore derbyshire.

Brilliant place,owners so friendly and helpful,couldn't fault a single thing.

Total peace and quiet,so relaxing. Feeding the animals was a great experience, just take some carrots for the donkeys and apples for the goats. Would not hesitate to go back. Absolutely stunning.

We had a wonderful stay here, everything was spotlessly clean, it was cosy and comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Owners were very friendly and there if you needed anything. My young daughter's highlight was feeding the donkeys carrots every day! The location was also perfect for exploring the peak district, with so different many places nearby. We had a lovely day at Chatsworth gardens and farm, and Sudbury Hall. We can also recommend eating at the Bowling Green in Ashbourne, we had a fantastic meal here. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would love to come back again.

A lovely property in a nice, quiet area, run by a lovely couple.

Everything we needed was available and we could always ask if we needed something. My daughter loved visiting and feeding their donkeys and goats too. It was very easy to access lots of local attractions in the Derbyshire area and we would happily return in the future.

We stayed for a week 3 adults.

The cottage was excellant it truly felt a home from home. The cottage owner had left out fresh farm eggs and also there was cleaning products and milk in the fridge. We could not have asked for more. The cottage was spotless (clean) and modern. |In the kitchen there was a full under fridge and freezer. In the living room there was a 50" TV which I believe to be freeview channels. Leading out from the lounge there was a back door which lead on to the patio with chairs and table so you could sit there in the evening and watch the children run around the large garden (field) very well maintained. To the right and left of the field there was a paddock with goats in. If you had children they would love to play in field. The goats and donkeys were very friendly as we fed them. All in all I would recommend this property 100%

Had a lovely relaxing week in this quiet location.

Cottage was comfortable and well provisioned. Twin room was a little cramped for 2 adults however. Owners very welcoming as were the goats and donkeys! Excellent location for exploring the South Peaks. Even had a little owl visit the garden a couple of times!

Bluebird Cottage is a comfortable and well-equipped converted barn in a very quiet rural location on a farm, although only a short drive from a main road.

This is a good location for exploring the southern part of the Peak District, and other places of interest in Derbyshire. We visited Chatsworth, Ilam Park, Dovedale, Kedleston Hall, the Monsal Trail, Chrome Hill (an exhilarating walk), and the Crich Tramway Museum. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there are plenty of places to eat out within easy reach; the Carriages in nearby Newhaven was a particular favourite, and less than 5 minutes by car.

Lovely cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location for biking (close to Tissington trail). Kids had fun feeding goats and donkeys. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebell cottage.

It was ideally located for exploring the Peak District. There was plenty of space for our family, and we enjoyed going to see the animals each morning. The cottage was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped.

Lovely freindly couple who made us very welcome .

a lovely holiday home are booking to go again .enjoyed feeding the donkeys and goats lovely country side and very relaxing .

House was immaculate, with extra essentials such as washing up liquid provided which was so handy.

Well-placed for exploring the peak district and set in beautiful surroundings. We love the donkeys too! This, was our second stay at Bluebird Cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to come back again - we love it.

We enjoyed our week at Bluebird Cottage.

The cottage is comfy, well equipped and so peaceful. Lots of walks from the door and close to the Tissington trail. Would recommend.

We loved our short break over new years.

The cottage was perfect and quiet. Loved the little extras like fresh eggs, cakes and milk. Also had games to play plus plenty of films to watch. Kids also loved feeding the goats and Donkeys. Will return in the summer

Due to family sickness, myself, girlfriend and 2 year old son arrived at the property 2 days late at 11PM - they were kind enough to wait up for us to arrive allowing access to the cottage.

On arrival the cottage was in immaculate condition and well presented, all relevant appliances required PAT tested and in working condition. The first night's sleep was amazing after the 4hr travel, we all slept like babies - after waking to the fresh country-side air, on our way out for day 1) the owner (Tom) reminded me that we were able to feed their goats and donkeys which my son absolutely loved, he has a massive obsessions with Tractor Tom the TV series so staying on a working farm with tractors present lit up his face the entirety of our stay. The cottage is situated in an ideal area of the Peak District: Ashbourne, Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock, Alton all below or around 30 minutes away. The hosts offer a selection of local pubs and food hotspots which are tried and tested: we visited (The Carriage) one of the suggestions, 3 times on our stay....Yes it is that good!! All in all the entire experience was exceptional, the hosts should credit themselves for delivering such a stellar service in terms of the cottage but also the facilities on offer, going above and beyond to be accomodating. You have given this family some fond memories to look back on and I cannot be more grateful. I'm sure if we are in a position to book next year, we will. Diolch from your guests from Wales

We had such a lovely long weekend at Bluebird Cottage.

Booking was easy, and everything was as advertised. The cottage was so cosy and welcoming, and had everything we could possibly need - the farm eggs left for us were a nice touch. We loved feeding the donkeys and goats. Very easy to get to, but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, it was so peaceful. Nice pub in the village for meals as well (The Sycamore), but glad we booked as very busy. Honestly our stay could not have been better.

Couldn’t fault it.

Lovely setting, peaceful and quiet. Owners very friendly. Would highly recommend.

It was a lovely cottage.

Well equipped, very good position for exploring the beautiful Peak District and lovely large outside area. Lovely and cosy place to stay.

Excellent property, everything we needed, spotlessly clean, beautiful views.

Pleasant and welcoming owners. Enjoyed our week at bluebird cottage, I would certainly recommend it.

We've just come back from a lovely week at Bluebird Cottage.

We were really fortunate with a mostly dry week to enjoy the Peak District. The cottage was well fitted out with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of parking outside. It was fun to be able to feed the donkeys and goats in the field nearby. Although it is just down a little lane, it is easy to get to an A road which then takes you to Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock. Would definitely recommend this cottage and this area.

Bluebird Cottage is a delightful place to stay.

The kitchen is well stocked and Irene kindly provided fresh eggs and milk on arrival. The cottage was clean and cosy and the quiet but central location met our needs perfectly. Feeding the goats was an added joy to a fabulous stay.

Lovely home from home cottage, you can smell the fabric softner as you walk in the door.

The grandchildren loved feeding the animals and large garden to play in, we would definitely stay again

Bluebird cottage is perfect in every way possible with a well equipped kitchen and good size rooms which are all spotlessly clean.

The location for our cycling holiday was great and central to all trails and attractions. We loved the peace and tranquility of this cottage, it was so relaxing Sat in the walled garden and we could see the cheeky goats watching us as we watched them play. All in all we can not fault Bluebird Cottage The hosts are so lovely and go above and beyond to make your stay great. There was a nice gesture of fresh eggs and milk upon arrival too. We will most definitely be visiting again. By far one on the best cottages we have stayed in. XXX

We enjoyed our break at Bluebird Cottage.

It's clean, comfortable and well equipped with lovely views from the rear patio. Very central for visiting other parts of the peak district and beautifully quiet.

The best equipped kitchen and most comfortable seating we have had in a holiday cottage

We had a lovely time staying at Bluebird cottage.

There was milk and fresh eggs waiting for us on arrival. All of the rooms are well proportioned and the cottage was very clean. The location is great as it's not too far from the A515 with easy access to Buxton and Ashbourne but also minimal traffic noise. I got to say hello to the donkeys at feeding time, and like that the owner Tom plays Classic FM in the yard in the afternoon. The only suggestion I can make is that it would have been nice to have a blanket in the lounge for the evenings, although the cottage was very warm.

Fantastic place and location for peace and quiet.

Hopefully we will return again soon.

Welcoming hosts.

Excellent accommodation . Good parking. Ideally situated for walking, cycling and sightseeing . In fact we were so impressed we have already booked for next year. The donkeys and the goats were an added bonus.

Beautiful well cared for cottage with all facilities as listed.

Need to go back again to do the many walks around the area. Irene was lovely, and caring about our visit

A lovely cottage.

Well equipped and a brilliant setting. We would stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebird cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bluebird Cottage.

The cottage is very well equipped & I loved feeding donkeys & goats every day.Friendly owners who are on hand to help if it is needed.

We had a lovely stay at Bluebird cottage.

We had everything we needed. The cottage was really comfortable. Our son really enjoyed the view of sheep from the bedroom window & lovely seeing the goats, donkeys and horse.

Beautiful little cottage.

Spotlessly clean. Great hosts. Lovely countryside retreat. Only negative was size of bed , room was big enough for a king size for more comfort.

We had a lovely half term stay here in the heart of the Peak District.

High winds and snow made for some bracing walks in the surrounding countryside but we were always warm and cosy when we returned to the cottage. The interior is finished to a high standard and has all you need for a comfortable stay. We were made to feel welcome and our son enjoyed feeding carrots to the resident donkeys on the farm. Thank you for an excellent stay.

A wonderful stay in picturesque landscape with a great view from the rear windows.

The property owners, who live on site, couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s. A great location too with some fantastic walks within very easy reach. The cottage itself is very clean and has all the facilities you need. I would most definitely return.

Bluebird cottage was everything we wanted for a pre Christmas getaway.

Sheila is disabled and she managed fine. It was situated just right for us to visit all of the places that we wanted to go to. The hosts were friendly and the fresh new laid eggs where a nice touch. We would certainly stay again! Sheila and David Woodward

Fantastic cottage.

Well equipped and lovely owners. Would definitely recommend to anyone and hopefully we will return.

Had a great couple of nights away.

Property was just as described, and shown in the photos, was spotlessly clean, really well equipped, spacious but cosy. beds were comfortable. Location was great. Lovely views and friendly animals. Ownerswere on hand if needed. A perfect break away, would loved to have stayed longer

Fabulous place, super comfy and great location.

Little added bonus of the goats and donkeys which we fed daily. The accommodation is clean and has everything you could possibly need. A stones throw from both the Tissington trail and the High Peak trail. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

We had a relaxing time and the cottage and its location were perfect for exploring the Peak District.

The cottage itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed for an enjoyable break.

Superb, extremely clean, well equipped cottage in a quiet location in beautiful countryside but within easy reach of places of interest and near fantastic walking areas.

The owners are very friendly but never intrusive. The donkeys, goats, and horse are delightful - not forgetting the friendly cat and the dog with boundless energy. We loved our stay here and hope to return.

Have been taking cottage holidays for twenty five years, and this is simply THE BEST property we have ever stayed in!

! The cottage is spotlessly clean and fresh and had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay, and so well equipped. The farm location is extremely peaceful, lovely views from every window and with a nice big garden and outside seating. The hosts were kind and friendly, giving us some lovely farm fresh eggs to enjoy for breakfast. Good selection of DVD’s to watch in the evenings also, sitting in a pleasant lounge. Very clean laundry room too. The donkeys and goats were an added bonus, very tactile and obviously used to visitors. Would love to make a return visit, and will highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to visit the beautiful Derbyshire Dales.

Beautiful cottage, we really enjoyed our stay.

Very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Excellent location, would happily rebook :)

Great location, lovely little cottage for our family of 4.

The hosts were very welcoming and let us feed their animals onsite, which the kids loved. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. The living room had plenty of DVDs for everyone to enjoy. Loads of outdoor space, garden is huge, beautiful animals! And it’s dead peaceful couldn’t hear a single car, just the birds tweeting. Couldn’t of asked for more! We will rebook for sure

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Very well equipped and clean. Stunning views from the garden. Our boys loved feeding the donkeys and goats. Hosts were very friendly and kindly provided garden furniture to make the most of the good weather. Great location and plenty to do within a short drive.

We had a lovely week at bluebird cottage.

We've got two young children and they absolutely loved the goats and all the space to run around. There are lots of nice places to visit nearby, we would definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location 100 percent recommend

Lovely location and great facilities.

Our boys enjoyed feeding the goats. We would definitely book again.

We had a great week at Bluebird Cottage, my children especially enjoyed being able to feed the donkeys and goats!

The cottage was lovely, comfortable, well equipped, very clean, nice big garden, lovely and quiet setting. It is well situated, we didn't have to travel far to get to our many destinations during the week, Bakewell, Black Rocks, Dovedale, Alton Towers, Matlock and Carsington Waters. I would definitely recommend a stay at Bluebird Cottage.

Loved seeing the donkeys and goats lovely surroundings away from it all Wed luv to go back the cottage was lovely and comfortable and the owners were a very nice couple would recommend this cottage if you like the peace and quiet

The cottage had absolutely everything we needed.

It is in a lovely quiet setting perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine. The water pressure in the shower is the best I’ve ever encountered on holiday!

Bluebird cottage is spotlessly clean.

The kitchen, albeit small is fully equipped with fridge, separate freezer plus all other mod cons. The beds are really comfortable and very well ventilated with large windows.There are 3 donkeys and a crazy cat that is a "purr machine"...great for families. There is a patio area overlooking a small grassy field...idyllic. Thomas and Irene the proprietors run an excellent ship.We have already booked our return for 2021. Finally, great value for money and an ideal location to explore the Peak District.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, location was perfect for us.

Cottage had everything you could possibly think of and spotlessly clean throughout. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Will definitely be going back !

A lovely barn conversion which was found to be exactly as described, quiet location warm clean and comfortable.

We got a very warm welcome.

The house was grate and very clean. would come again. I would recommend this house to anyone. Being on a farm we saw a baby fox and was allowed to feed the donkey's

Lovely cottage .

.. highly recommend!

We had a lovely few days in beautiful Derbyshire.

It is an area that would suit folk who enjoyed walking.You would have to travel a few miles to civilisation if you weren't happy with picturesque villages & wonderful walks. We enjoyed every minute - both in the area & in the cottage.

kids loved it and wait to go back.

beautifully presented. very nice and clean with a cottage feel. beautiful kitchen area and plenty of information about what's on in the area. really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful place with friendly and helpful owners.

Clean, comfortable and characterful cottage.

The fact that we would stay in this accommodation again without hesitation says it all. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Probably the best holiday property we've stayed in at this price point.

Clean and well equipped, with a comfortable bed. And larger than you expect based on the photos. Would stay again.

The cottage was lovely.

Owners kind &helpful and we had a great time.

Everything inside was so clean and tidy, looked like brand new.

Much better experience than the previous cottage. We were so pleased to stay there. Our little one was extremely happy there. It was her first experience to see the animals so close , didn’t want to leave them there. Beautiful location

The cottage is newly adapted and well laid out.

The kitchen and bathroom work very well. The double bedroom is spacious. The twin bedroom is adequate so long as one at most is very tall, as this requires a bed to be rotated. The bike storage is excellent. Irene was friendly and extremely helpful, bringing a map from a local shop and providing cord for mounting bikes. We would gladly return.

Comfortable well equipped cottage in a very peaceful location.

The owners have now provided a useful shared facility with washing machine and tumble drier.

Bluebird Cottage at Whitecliffe Farm nr Parwich.

Stayed a week in March. Lovely and warm, comfortable and clean. The hosts played it right, not intrusive but available if needed (we didn't call on them). It is about two miles to anywhere though, so a long walk or car required. Quiet too, all in all would highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay, other than the door to the master bedroom being really low there's nothing to nit pick about the place.

It's in a nice location and you can get to most of the decent towns within 25 minutes by car. Definitely worth a stay of your looking to just get out into the country for a break.

Small, immaculate and comfortable cottage in peaceful location

Fantastic cottage, in a lovely area of Derbyshire that we were not previously familiar with.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, and the hosts (and their pets!) were very welcoming.

wonderful collage the owns are very friendly and would be telling family and friends about the collage

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bluebird Cottage.

Very pleasant owners, the cottage is in a nice quiet location ideal for exploring this part of Derbyshire. Clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Perfect for a relaxing break.

being in the country on the farm is a fantastic spot in the Derbyshire dales.

This was a wonderful cottage - comfortable, clean, and a beautiful location.

The owners were helpful when we needed them, but left us alone too. Thank you for a fantastic break - it was perfect. We loved the goats and donkeys too!

A comfortable well equipped cottage on a quiet farm (no cows).

A quiet restful break, entirely meeting or exceeding our expectations.

We have returned much the better for it.

Dont rely on sat nav to find cottage.

Home from home in a lovely rural setting.

No fuss with everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Cottage excellently appointed for exploring the Peak District and surrounding area.

Located in a quiet area on a working farm. A well equipped cottage with every possible need catered for. Ample space and good facilities. Constant hot water available, storage heaters located around the cottage if needed and overall a good home from home base. Clean and well maintained and owners accessible if needed. Ample parking space and lovely views of the area. Irene and Tom extremely welcoming and approachable. Enjoyed the donkeys, especially feeding them carrots!

Thank you to Mr & Mrs Moorcroft for a lovely weekend at Bluebird cottage.

The accommodation was perfect for our needs with full length windows that our 34 months grandson could sit and play watching the donkeys and lambs were ideal. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The only thing I would change are the photos on line which I don't feel do the cottage justice. We will defiantly be returning to this peaceful and beautiful part of England.

Lovely self catering cottage , quiet, everything you could need, plenty of hot water , Car parking space , even four donkeys to feed !

Loved our weekend here x

Very well equipped and spacious accommodation close to walking / cycling trails.

Comfortable and well-equipped cottage.

Good heating

Great place to stay .

...

Bluebird cottage was one of the best properties we have stayed in.

It is very comfortable, clean and with all you could need. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend this property.

Such a lovely place to stay, it was so nice and had all the things you need.

Although I brought some things from home, I didn't need them as they were available from the cottage. It's in a nice area as well.

Directions were not accurate but we found it eventually.

Sat nav postcode brings you to a different farm. Cottage was incredibly warm, perfect after a long wet walk. Will book again.

Perfectly located within reach of all amenities and secluded enough to enjoy the beautiful views.

Very tastefully decorated cottage and maintained to top notch standard. We had a wonderful stay and didnot want to come back but will be back soon.

The cottage is very comfortable, with a terrific bed, is well equipped, and easy to access.

The setting is very pleasant and quiet and is close to many good walks. The owners are helpful and unobtrusive, and we enjoyed their donkeys. After days of walking in muddy conditions it would have been useful to have a washing machine rather than a dishwasher in the cottage, but we booked knowing this was the case. Would certainly recommend.

In the directions the part that says "there are farm buildings to the left, turn right" relates to the paragraph above.

Because it's split, it looks as if it's the next part of the directions which is confusing. The owners said quite a few people miss them, and I suspect this is why
