Bobbin Cottage

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Bus and train close by as well as lots of walking routes.

Very clean and well equipped.

Also very dog friendly. Cannot fault anything in cottage just be aware stairs are tight and narrow. Were the cottage is on the hill it's a short walk to shop/pub and chippy.only draw back lots of traffic and lorries running into night (but you get use to it).

Stayed at Bobbin Cottage, Cromford for a long weekend.

What a lovely cottage and place to be. Very comfortable and well equipped.

Fantastic location, beautiful small village and great access to neighbouring towns and local walks.

The cottage is basic, clean and comfortable - perfect for the 2 of us and a dog. Note there is no dedicated outside space for your dog. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, large bed and warm powerful shower.

The property was clean and very well equipped - we were very comfortable and warm.

The bus stop was 10 steps from the front door and we used them a lot, a really good bus hub. Loads of routes to super places. Great walks. The area is full of historic interest. We would go again, a really convenient cottage and area. We hardly needed the car.

We had a lovely stay at bobbin cottage, very clean and cosy.

Hope to return soon

Had a lovely stay at Bobbin Cottage.

Well equipped with a very comfy bed, cosy and well located for local amenities within walking distance. Good base for visiting local towns and attractions. Cromhall is a friendly place with 2 good pubs, a take away, fish and chip shop and the well stocked Arkwrights Grocery store.

This is our sixth time at the cottage.

Always a little bolt hole for a few days . Will be back soon

Comfortable, clean and warm.

Perfect location for walking and sightseeing Parking was a bit annoying as its first come so I had to park further up the hill and had to walk with luggage and 2 dogs. It was in the description but directions as where to park would have been useful.

A really good cottage for a relaxing break in Cromford.

We had fun using the excellent bus services to Wirksworth and Bakewell.The walk by the Cromford Canal is a favourite , followed by a visit to Cromford Mills for coffee and a bit of shopping is good. The cottage provided everything we needed and would love to come again. But sadly the stairs were a bit difficult for my elderly husband.

Lovely little cottage which was very cosy and comfortable.

The road was a bit noisy at times, but we opened the bathroom window instead of the bedroom one so that helped. Nice walk for the dogs just behind the house. My highlight was swimming in the thermal lido at the hotel in Matlock Bath-a real treat as I usually swim in the cold Welsh sea!

We had a lovely stay in Bobbin cottage.

Everything as described. Comfy bed! Lovely to sit in the garden area and relax with a cuppa and read in the morning. Reccomend the book shop in the village and Robertsons chippy. A walk along the canal is a must and Blackrocks parkrun if you are a runner or walker, fantastic views.

Enjoyed our stay at Bobbin Cottage.

Great location for folk who like walking and handy for public transport too. Open and honest description was given about the drawbacks as it might not suit everybody. We would return.

Cottage was lovely well situated for exploring the surrounding area, parking was a bit of issue one evening couldn’t find any where to park so ended up about 10 min walk away in the rain.

A little welcome pack would have been nice tea coffee and a little bit of milk. Only downside was one of the pillowcases was dirty with a stain on it.

Love this little cottage.

We had 4 amazing nights here, great location. Very clean and had everything we needed. It was very cosy and well kept. Excellent value for money!

second stay at Bobbin, very nice cottage.

nothing to moan about, just a couple of very small things- the standard lamp in the lounge seems to work when it feels like, maybe foot switch faulty. every time i open the bottom stairs door i catch my knuckles on a screw sticking out and take the skin off, same last visit, needs screw changing.

Fantastic stay.

Cottage as described, really comfortable and in a perfect location for walks right in the doorstep. We will be back again.

very nice cottage.

We have had a lovely Christmas at Bobbin Cottage, a lovely cosy place to stay.

Very clean and had everything we needed the only thing that would make it better would be some outside space for warmer months. Parking can be an issue but again to be expected with this type of area and property. We can't wait to go back later this year when we can explore more. A walk down the lanes at the back of the cottages is like another world. We loved every minute there. Thank you for a lovely time

Perfect little cottage , fabulous location another wonderful stay

Our fifth time at the cottage.

Love the area and village. Never disappoints

Loved the cottage everything you could need very cosy only down side was the garden wasn’t useable and there was a lot of noise from quarry lorry’s from 5.

30 am but had a lovely stay

We had a lovely stay at Bobbin Cottage.

The location was perfect for us to go and explore and the cottage was homely. Plenty of towels were provided and the kitchen was well equipped. We didn’t take our dog with us this time, but we were happy to see that Bobbin cottage was dog friendly with spare bowls and blankets available to use. The fire was also a lovely addition, we lit it on our second night after a day out at the Heights of Abraham and it was lovely to warm up next to! Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend Bobbin Cottage to anyone wanting to visit the area.

Great base for exploring the area, clean and cute little cottage.

The mattress or bed could do with up update but other than this, it was a good break away from it all.

Beautiful cottage that was perfect for our stay.

It was lovely and clean and comfortable for the two of us and the dog. We were unsure about if there was a garden for us to use or to share with another cottage as it was listed that it had a garden. This would have been useful to take the dog out. Also the TV could maybe do with an update so we can access smart features (iPlayer/netflix etc). But all in all it is great value and we would love to stay again! Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Sweet cottage.

Great location in a very interesting place to visit. Would stay again - need we say more!

Great dog friendly place to stay in Cromford.

Compact, clean and ideally situated. No problem parking outside and very helpful owners. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area again.

We had a lovely 4 night stay in the cottage and were very comfortable.

I appreciated the dog blankets for the sofas as we did a lot of walking and it was great to chill out on the sofas in the afternoon. The bathroom decor is lovely and the shower has strong water pressure which was very welcome after it got cold and wet on Wednesday. The info book is very thorough and helpful and it was great to see Dylan's fave dog walks which we did 1.5 of! Many thanks for a lovely stay!

Bobbin cottage is a beautiful historic little cottage.

I felt thrown back in time when I looked out at the rear of the property. I compared it to a last of the summer wine experience. The cottage is perfect for two plus a doggy friend. The one and only drawback is the steep staircase which cannot be changed due to listed status. Just down the road from Cromford Mill, the canal wharf and local pubs, shops and chippy it was perfect for our short stay. If you like history and tranquil walks it is the place to be.

We had a very enjoyable, relaxing week at Bobbin cottage, the cottage is well equipped with a great shower & comfy bed .

The area around Cromford has lots of lovely walks, we particularly enjoyed walking along Cromford canal & the High Peak trail, our dogs loved it too. A great area to visit

Traffic noise was horrendous from trucks and lorries beginning at 5 am ending at 7 pm.

Extremely low doors that were not mentioned. Bumped heads many times and ended up wearing bobble hat indoors. Not very dog friendly. No garden or green space of any kind to let your dog out in. It meant walking out at 5:30am for a dog walk and late on in the evening. The dog was never able to be off the lead. If your dog gets out of the front door it’s chances are not good. Cromford itself is amazing and would go back at the drop of a hat but sadly not in Bobbin cottage.

Not a complaint but could they add an oven glove please :) would make moving hot stuff about a bit easier Thank you .

A lovely cosy cottage, perfect for 2.

Lots of great walks literally on your doorstep and with pubs and places to eat nearby - it was the perfect location for a weekend break. It was clean, well maintained and had everything you could need for your time away. Would definitely book again.

Wonderful little cottage.

Had an amazing weekend. Beautifully presented, very clean. Great location. The two pubs down the road are lovely. Thank you! Will stay again

Quaint and beautifully presented cottage and good value.

We will be back. Only slight problem although there is a nice outdoor sitting area with good views there is no completely enclosed area in the back for the dogs.

Lovely little cottage in a great location.

So much to do in the area, we will definitely be back.

Our 2nd time staying at Bobbin Cottage.

Love staying here, feels very much like home from home, with all the facilities you need for a week away. Very clean, comfortable bed and found no issues with the road. Very relaxing week. Cromford is an excellent base to explore the region. Highly recommend a visit to Cromford Mills. Both the Bell and Boat Inn are welcoming. The Boat Inn serve some delicious food. Looking forward to returning to Bobbin Cottage in the future.

A clock in the sitting room would have been useful.

Lovely cottage.

Great location. Home from home...everything you need is provided.

An excellent little cottage, ideally located for exploring the area.

Very much enjoyed our stay over Christmas, everything I could have wished for, lovely and warm, everything you needed, cottage in a brilliant location.

Bobbin Cottage was a perfect place to stay especially for walks.

It was exactly as advertised. The cottage was spotlessly clean. The lounge was comfortable and very cosy especially when we lit the fire. Bedroom was a good size and the bed very comfortable too. Some road noise but hardly noticeable with secondary glazing. All in all - highly recommend.

All good here, been before, would go again

A lovely cottage very well positioned for visiting the Peak District.

Our dog loved falling asleep in front of the log burner. We would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to family and friends.

Cosy, comfortable, very clean and well equipped.

Good location, close to centre of village. Easy off-street parking. Bus route on doorstep. Good local pubs. We used The Boat for a couple of meals and a quiz night. Excellent bookshop up the hill. Local walks that we are yet to experience as it rained all week. Friendly and helpful locals. All in all, a good place to stay if you want to explore Derbyshire.

Lovely cosy cottage in great location really enjoyed our holiday

Our second stay and can’t wait for our third

We had a lovely stay at bobbin cottage, really cosy place, everything we needed there.

Would not hesitate to come back, had some great days out& then went to the boat Inn for some very nice meals. Thankyou to the owners for a wonderful breakaway. Linda& Les hall& Piper the dog

All you need for a couple on a short break.

The post code for directions, took us up the side road opposite. It may be use to state the cottage is on the main road

We spent a great few days at bobbin cottage very comfortable and a great base for exploring the area .

Its a great location minutes form the square in Cromford , the place was very tidy and clean with lots of info and books on places to visit and walks etc - too many to read !

We have 2 small criticisms - the info suggested there was a private garden & there was no garden , it would have been good to have found a pint of milk when we arrived as no shops were open ( we have been to cottages where you find a cake , milk etc when you arrive . . its a nice touch !

Really lovely cottage very well equipped.

It’s very small though so wouldn’t recommend to a family with baby & dog/s. The road noise is a lot but would affect most houses in the village. A washing machine & coffee machine would be great if room. Amazing host and lovely base I’d 100% go back and recommend.

Lovely comfortable cottage Clean with all facilities we required Perfectly placed for lovely walks and visiting surrounding area Our 2nd visit to this cottage and not disappointed in any way Lovely eating places within walking distance Walks from front and back of house

Being quite a small place the facilities are a little limited, and there is no outdoor area for the property, also whilst there is on street parking it is first come first served so that's a bit of a minus point too, so personally I probably wouldn't want any more than a short break there, 3 or 4 days perhaps.

Having said that it is a very comfortable and clean cottage and makes for an excellent base for exploring the dales and surrounding area, and I would certainly consider another short break in this cottage. We had a lovely break, and as long as you're not expecting 'The Ritz' I'm sure you will too.

We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return.

Cromford is a great place and the local walks were amazing

The cottage is lovely and very cosy.

Had another fantastic stay and we will return.

Lovely cosy cottage in the perfect place for lots of walks.

Lots of info available. The road was a bit busy, but as we knew about it before we got there it was expected. Didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely return.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable.

Had a cosy feel with the Woodburner. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed Close to the local shops which had a pub, butchers and bookshop and within walking distance downhill.

Ths a well equipped cottage in a beautiful village with everything you would need for a great dog friendly break.

The local area is stunning with lots of beautiful walks and the local history is well worth delving into. The cottage itself is well situated and just a 20 minute walk from Matlock Bath. We would highly recommend it and will return very soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Bobbin Cottage.

It had everything you could need. Beautiful area. Cromford was a great base for us. Bobbin Cottage was extremely comfortable for our stay with our 2 dogs. The only downside was the busy road. The double glazing helps, but when you come from rural Norfolk you really notice the traffic. It a beautiful cottage and the owners have made it such a great place to stay.

The cottage was very comfortable a proper home from home.

The information left and was very helpful. It the perfect place to explore the Peak district. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely quaint cottage in beautiful village but spoiled by the busy road and the constant steam of traffic including HGV lorries starting at 5.

30am for light sleepers although there is secondary glazing which helps with the noise. Parking outside the house and normally plenty space. No garden but seat at the back door. No washing machine or dishwasher and only one bath towel per person for a week plus two dish towels but could request more by contacting the owner. We did not bother but thankfully brought spare ones with us Good facilities otherwise with catch up tv, excellent wi fi and plenty pots, crockery etc.. Loved all the guide books and maps for exploring the immediate area and further afield which were appreciated as was the advance information .Cromford is ideally situated to explore the Peak District and lots to see and do in perfect walking country. Did not try any of the local restaurants but there are good and varied choices in the village and nearby Matlock and Wirksworth. Ideal cottage for two. Very clean and some of the facilities may have been restricted by Covid which was reassuring.

Cute and comfortable cottage.

Bobbin cottage is very well equipped, the owners have thought of everything. Even though it is on a busy road it didn’t effect us very much. Cromford is very nice, friendly and helpful locals. There are some nice little shops and within walking distance to Matlock. Would highly recommend it.

Bobbin Cottage was clean, cosy and comfortable.

Perfect location for exploring the area. It was exactly as described. It’s on a noisy main road but the secondary glazing blocks most of the noise out.

Great base for a walking holiday.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable.

Bobbin cottage is a lovely cottage in Cromford, with easy access to the village and local area.

The cottage itself has everything you would require and information from the owners was very helpful.

Our 7th stay at this cottage, speaks for itself.

The area is beautiful - hills, woodland, river, canal. Full of history - Arkwrights Mill, lead mining. So many walks starting from so near the cottage. Plus the homely comfortable cottage to come back to. Well equipped and catering so well for dogs too.

Loved the cottage, it felt like a real home from home.

Pretty, cosy and clean with everything you could need. Pubs and eating places on the doorstep, as well as beautiful walks.

The cottage was lovely!

We had pretty much everything we needed (things like salt and pepper, oil etc. would have been useful for cooking but we completely understand this may well have been due to corona). We appreciated the butcher recommendation and the instructions were very clear for everything we needed to and could do during our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage and would definitely stay again if visiting this area. Thank you

this was a small old (mill?

?) worker's cottage - and was fabulous. Situated in Cromford which owes it's existence to the mills and is steeped in this heritage. It was what we went for and what we definitely found. There was so much more to explore and discover - more to do with the cotton mills and more to do with the earlier lead mining industry. The walking was superb - not enough hours in the day to do all we wanted. The cottage was just right for the two of us and our two dogs. SOOOO.. good to find dog friendly cottages - Sykes never fail us. Sykes booking and support systems easy and second to none. Thank you.

We think Cromford is a wonderful place, full of hstory, plus amazing views and walks.

The booking was easy with a real person to speak to.

The cottage was just as described, clean and with all upto date facilities. The owners were available on e-mail at all times throughout the booking process and when we got to the property. The property was well located for all we wanted to do for our time in Derbyshire. I would recommend this property without exception

Busy road outside so for dogs to be on a leader when leaving ect, That was the only negative double glazing helped lessen the noise in the cottage which was so comfortable and so handy for everything.

Can highly recommend The Boat for bar meals and live entertainment, The Greyhound for something a little more up market and the Indian in Matlock where the food was devine. The Butchers in the village is also really good.

Lovely cottage great walk for dogs good places to eat

Perfect cottage for two adults and two lurcher dogs (lack of garden does not matter given the beautiful walks on the doorstep).

Tastefully decorated, good sofas and lovely comfortable bed. Kitchen well-equipped, and definitely recommend Arkwrights general store and especially Figgshaws butchers a short walk downhill. If you fancy a meal out we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Tapas bar in the Market Place, it was absolutely delicious and very good value. The walks around Cromford detailed by the owners were great, but also thoroughly enjoyed the Monsal Trail from Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale (where the gentleman at the cycle hire shop was particularly helpful) to Bakewell. Chatsworth House is definitely worth a visit even just the gardens if you have dogs, as is a trip to the Heights of Abraham country park via cable car from Matlcok Bath. Spectacular scenery everywhere, brilliant holiday all round.

The cottage is on a very busy main road and the garden at the rear is not part of the cottage.

Good accommodation, good pubs & good walks

Wonderful location; lots of interesting history; beautiful walks with hills, river, canals; Cromford itself is lovely and of course the comfort of returning to such a cosy, homely cottage

A lovely quaint cottage which is situated in an ideal location for walking.

The cottage was very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful, Quirky, cottage with easy access to an amazing and diverse part of the country.

Could have stayed much longer. 10/10...!!

Lovely cottage

There was a slight mix up with cleaning at the start which was quickly rectified.

Cottage was excellent. Perfectly placed. Excellent local facilities. Would strongly recommend.

The owners of the property have thought of all sorts of small details which just adds to the comfort.

This is a fantastic little cottage in a lovely village with all the facilities you need.

We had a fantastic week, the cottage had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, cosy and felt like a real home from home. Cromford is a pretty and interesting village, lots of history and great walks from the cottage. Our dogs loved it as much as us. Highly recommended

Lovely cottage in a fabulous part of the world.

Lots to do in the village and not far to many surrounding lovely areas. One little tip - we got back late one evening to find all the parking spaces outside the cottage taken. It's not easy to park elsewhere as all the roads are very steep and mostly narrow - and residents parking. Did find space near the school at the end of North Road (near the pub) which was only a few minutes walk. Cottage had everything we'd expect and good clear instructions about things such as the rubbish collection and how to work the central heating and TV options.

The cottage was perfectly situated for exploring the industrial heritage of the area.

Bus stop virtually on the doorstep . Accommodation great for two people and a dog.Well modernised. without being too far.

A super little cottage.

Perfect for two. Great they take dogs. We knew in advance it was on a busy road but this did not trouble us. Once inside it was very cosy and quiet. Would recommend this property and the village of Cromford. A hidden gem.

Fantastic little cottage in a great location for Matlock and the surrounding Derwent Valley and Peak District as a whole.

Middle of the holiday period but still very quiet. Bed comfortable and all the facilities you could hope for. Would Highly recommend.

Overall the cottage is very nice & clean.

Easy access,& parking outside cottage very good. Buses to all local villages extremely good,no need to use the car.Bakewell is a must,as is the vintage tram village & the cable cars. Noisy ,very busy main road outside cottage but don’t let that put you off staying at bobbin cottage as secondary double is very good. Made mistake of leaving bedroom window open first night hardly slept at all ☹️☹️ But after that closed everything & left bathroom window open for air flow which worked a treat, hardly could hear it at all...stairs are steep & uneven ,hard to handle if you have mobility problems . Be aware their is no garden for a dog to be let out into , just a seat outside the back door . Shower was good,but plug/ drain needs clearing out as standing in 6” water when taking a shower ,takes a age to drain away. Never had a bath , would imagine could take all day to run away not a mayor problem but does need sorting out. We liked bobbin cottage & Cromford,nothing of the above remarks would put us off from returning.

Didn’t mention was on a main road before booking and that there’s no garden.

Please amend description to this for future customers. Thank you.

The cottage is brilliant, very clean and well equipped.

Cromford is well situated for exploring the many beautiful natural areas and places of interest. Buses go from outside the cottage door which was brilliant. Used the local shops and they were very reasonably priced and well stocked. Very friendly and welcoming people. The only point I would make is, it is on a very very busy road with traffic thundering past constantly.

Gorgeous clean, comfy dog friendly cottage, in a really beautiful setting.

Easy to park. Lots of places in the village (all dog friendly too) to visit- really geat standard of food and drink and absolutely everywhere we went the people were so friendly and welcoming. We are definitely going to come back as soon as we can. Please be aware theres a very busy road through the village- its quite noisy when youre outside but dont let it put you off- the cottage has secondary glazing and really keeps the noise out. You literally dont hear a peep! Had 2 excellent nights sleep!!

Nice compact cottage with everything you need.

Very dog friendly. Agree with comments made by other visitors in terms of noise from traffic

Lovely, cosy cottage in excellent location.

Would recommend booking if you want to dine out as local establishments get very busy

Owner contact was good and friendly, only downside to our stay was the ridiculously busy road/junction and the noise of the traffic in the cottage.

The cottage is very comfortable and although dog friendly (we took our dog) it smells very fresh and clean.

It's well stocked and brilliant location which meant we didn't use the car at all on our stay and did some great circular walks from home. The village has everything you need and we did our food shopping locally and ate in 2 dog friendly pubs. Many leaflets in the cottage for walks and food menus and the owners have put together a useful manual. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

The stairs are quite steep so nay be difficult for the elderly.

Other than that a Fantastic cottage

Lovely little cottage in a lovely area,dog friendly pubs and people,lovely walks from your door,will definitely be going back to bobbin cottage in cromford.

Sykes were very good but for some reason I was unable to check the facilities of the cottage on the site once I had booked.

I wanted to check in order to pack appropriately. The cottage was very cosy, clean and dog friendly.

Nice cosy comfy cottage in a great location.

It would best be described as 5-star luxury.

This is my second visit to Bobbin cottage and what I particular appreciated was the personal touch from the owner in the emails received by her. A most welcoming approach. Wonderful area for walking with the cottage being in the most convenient position for general access, eg: bus stop with a frequent service to the most important towns right outside the front door! I shall certainly consider repeat visits in the years to come. Chris Bruce.
