  • "This is the 4th time we have visited Bedehouse cottage and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it."

    The cottage is in a great location for exploring the Peak District with the high peak trail only a few minutes away either by car or walking direct from the cottage. Sarah and her husband are very welcoming and available if you need anything and the welcome basket of goodies was a nice touch. The cottage itself is comfortable and cosy and finished to a high standard with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Cromford village is very pretty and has a pub, cafe, chip shop and village shops all within a few minutes walk. We will certainly be returning for a 5th stay.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Bedehouse cottage."

    Welcomed by a lovely clean and cozy cottage and a great welcome pack with nice touches for our son (which we haven’t had before) which made him feel very welcome too. We appreciated the books and toys in the cottage, especially as I had forgotten to pack some! Only niggle was having no where in the bathroom to put toiletries. I saw that this had been mentioned a lot in the visitors book too dating back to 2015! Easily remedied with a small shelving unit as there is plenty of space. The twin bedroom could really benefit from a chest of draws as well. We struggled with only one towel per person for a weeks stay. Next time I would bring more of our own towels with us.

    Thank you for your feedback. There is a bathroom shelf and a shower caddy for guests toiletries in the bathroom. The review from 2015 was remedied several years ago! With regard to the towels, if any additional towels were required during your stay we would have been more than happy to supply. Property Owner

    It’s a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, well-equipped, spacious and conveniently situated. It has flat parking, unlike many cottages in the Peaks. It's a very old cottage with slightly limited headroom immediately next to the outside walls upstairs but that is only to be expected in a cottage of this age and adds to the charm. A very supportive and helpful owner (next door) who does not intrude unless asked. We’ve stayed there many times!

  • "We had a fabulous stay here."

    It is so well equipped with everything you could need. It’s a perfect location to explore Derbyshire and Cromford itself is lovely. Short walk to local pubs and Parkys which is a bistro/cafe. Also you can walk to the mill and canal easily. Walk back up a steep hill is a little more of an effort. Our host was lovely and left us a welcome pack which was so nice. For me the only reason I didn’t give top marks for comfort was because the double bed had a very hard mattress which I found difficult to get used to so a couple of poor nights sleep until I got used to it - but that’s personal preference and some people might be used to a hard mattress already. All in all a wonderful stay.

    It was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners Sarah and David live next door and are very helpful without being intrusive. On this occasion the chilly weather prevented us from sitting out in the outside garden area which is opposite the cottage, but it is there for those who stay in warmer weather. For walkers, Cromford is an ideal place with many walking trails accessible from the village, as well as those a little further away. It has pubs, cafes, a village shop and an excellent bookshop. For anyone like ourselves who do not have their own transport, Cromford is an excellent base as the public transport links are good in several directions giving access to Wirksworth, Ashbourne, Derby, Matlock, Bakewell and many other places. We highly recommend this cottage and intend to return again ourselves in the future.

  • "We loved Bedehouse cottage."

    The house was very clean and comfortable and beautifully presented. The owner had left a lovely table of goodies on arrival and everything you might need in the kitchen, which was excellent! The only thing that we would suggest is maybe a chest of drawers in the bedrooms for clothes that aren’t being hung up and possible a shelf in the bathroom as there wasn’t anywhere to put wash bags and toiletries. But these really are just minor suggestions. We really loved the house and the whole experience was very easy and convenient and just what we were looking for. It didn’t effect our stay as it was winter time but we were expecting a small garden/terrace as mentioned in one of the reviews but couldn’t see one? Perhaps the review is an old review?

    Many thanks for your feedback. We will be installing a bathroom shelf in the next couple of weeks for toiletries etc.. We do feel there is adequate drawer space in the home, with the main bedroom having 7 drawers in total, and the second bedroom having shelving within the wardrobe. The outside seating is as per the photographs online and is directly adjacent the cottage , outside the lounge window.

However, again the details about the cottage were very misleading, the noise from the road was horrendous, we didn't know there was a quarry 100 yards up the road and the lorries started thundering up and down and the road at 5 am. The traffic was non stop all day. The cottage said it had a seating area. It did but it was away from the cottage and you couldn't see the front door from where you were sat, so we felt we had to keep locking the front door but again it was 50 yards from the traffic noise. Obviously the owners can't do anything about the road but it should have been stated in the details that there is road noise.

    It has been developed into a stunning house with surprisingly large and generous rooms. The state of the decorations was excellent and it was spotlessly clean. The equipment levels were high - it's the first place we've been to with a (very welcome) Sky Q box for instance! The only minor drawback was the lack of a drier which could be easily remedied by replacing the washer with a washer drier. However, I imagine most visitors wouldn't need this facility. The cottage is situated in an area of great historical interest and is in wonderful and spectacular walking country. The owner, who lives next door, provided fresh milk, wine, coffee (filter & capsules!) and biscuits. She was very welcoming but not at all intrusive and was at hand to solve a minor problem when needed. The nest time we holiday in the area we will certainly stay at Bedehouse cottage.

The cottage is approximately 5 minutes walk to the centre of Cromford village. The cottage is ideally situated for walking, of which there are many walking route suggestions in the cottage. The local area is steeped in industrial history, with Richard Arkwright's Cromford Mills and Masson Mills nearby. A visit to Matlock Bath is highly recommended, being a seaside town complete with multiple fish & chip shops, amusements, candy floss, a promenade, cable cars (Heights of Abraham) etc, just one missing factor from Matlock Bath being a seaside town...that is...the sea. All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable holiday cottage.

  • "This was a very nicely equipped cottage and I had a fabulous holiday There was a problem with the heating and hot water when I first arrived, but the owners were round very quickly to get it sorted which only took a couple of minutes, and there were no more problems with anything during our stay."

    The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. It was a great to have Sky TV to relax in front of at the end of the day. We only had to take the car out a couple of times, because there is so much to see on your doorstop so we walked everywhere. I don't normally stay in the same area more than once as I like to explore new locations, however, if I was to come back to Cromford, I would happily stay at this cottage again.

    The welcome pack was the icing on the cake & we were very grateful. The cottage is situated perfectly for days out, Poole cavern is a must see & walking to solomans peak is worth it for the breath taking views. Cromford Mill & heights of abraham make a great day out.

    The cottage itself offers the charm of a period cottage (brickwork, thick walls, wooden beams- not too low) while being equipped to a very high standard- plenty of kitchen utensils, dish washer ,washing machine, large fridge and freezer. Each of the rooms offer a great amount of space ( unexpected for a cottage) and are decorated to a lovely standard. The hospitality of the owner ( who lives next door) is exceptional- offering advise on the area, being available if required but never being intrusive. The welcome pack was very welcome! The area offers plenty to do either on foot or by car. It was a welcome break not to drive for a few days. The local area offers- Abrahams's Heights, Cromford Canal (with boat trip), Arkwright Mills and plenty more. In addition, as a car mad family- Donington Race Circuit was less than an hour away offering a museum and rally day. We feel we have only scratched the surface of what this area has to offer and will be returning.

Right in the middle of a UNESCO World Heritage site, and lots of interest - the origins of the industrial revolution.

We stayed in June and had great weather the cottage is ideally located for walking and visiting places such as Cromford Mills, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and The Heights of Abraham all of which are no more than 5 to 25 minutes’ drive away. The village is a pretty village incorporating pubs, fish and chips take away, local shop, however Matlock is only a few miles away for the larger shop at Sainsbury’s. For a great view of the Heights of Abraham take a trip to the White Lion at Starkholmes which had great pub food, also a public footpath leading to Matlock Bath.
