  • "As in previous reviews the location and views from the property are very good, also the property itself is nice, however my concerns are the lack of Facilities and the price for the property."

    For just a few £££'s more I could have had a detached 2/3 Bedroomed House/Cottage, whereas this property is Very Small, not sure how you would fit in a Cot as well? Facility wise it is a bit sparse. If you plan to Fry some food forget it as there is no extraction available, so I'd avoid that, also there is no Micro-Wave, which is strange these days. If you plan to stay for a week then be aware that there are no storage facilities for clothes or even for food, although you will probably be eating out? The Hot water for pot washing only last a couple of minutes before it goes cold. To watch TV you have to keep removing the ladder out of the way. The bedroom doesn't fit my description of a bedroom, it is basically a mattress on a loft floor, no cupboards or drawers or mirrors also very little headroom, about 2', so it's a "crawl" to get in and out of bed. The upper "bedroom" is not suitable for anyone that might have disabilities etc. due to having to climb a ladder to access the mattress. The lighting is very bright, so a Table Lamp would be helpful for nighttime. We never got to me the hosts, so I can't comment on that. I know this is a negative review, and I'm sorry to leave one, but people should be made aware of the limitations that they will encounter. For me this was booked on the "Spur of the Moment", so I guess I'm partially to blame for not reading the comments etc. If you are just doing a 1/2-night stay, then this would be ideal, but anything over, in my opinion, would need a bit of consideration.

    Spectacular views from both the bedroom and the decking and very tranquil. Close to local amenities. Host very helpful and friendly. Will definitely look to stay again. Totally relaxing. First class.

  • "The house is incredibly cute, clean and tidy and in a lovely setting."

    The outdoor decking is really nice and you can watch the sheep and horses. I felt really cosy in the bed up the little ladder. I wouldn't recommend sleeping up there if you're tall or after a romantic weekend, due to ceiling height

    Hi thanks very much for your feedback. Hopefully as the bed is a king size and Ive had guests at 6ft 2 + this is more than enough room to enjoy yourself plus there is the fold down bed downstairs if more suitable. Hopefully see you again Louisa Property Owner

  • "The Cuckoo Nest is a wonderful bolt hole in the heart of the Peak District."

    The accommodation is small but cosy, with a lovely kitchenette and bathroom. You get amazing views from both downstairs and the bedroom. If the weather is kind there is a great outdoor decking area complete with outdoor furniture, fire pit/BBQ. It’s a very secluded, peaceful place to stay yet you are close to many attractions like Chatsworth House, Bakewell and Matlock.

    Thanks Jamie for your feedback, we hope to welcome you again. Louisa Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely, quiet and relaxing place with lovely views."

    Louisa and her family were very welcoming and friendly. If you love to walk or cycle there is plenty to do from the doorstep but also all the places we visited were within a 30 minute drive or less e.g Baslow,Bakewell,Buxton and Matlock Bath. The accommodation suited our needs and we will definitely be returning.

    thankyou so much for your feedback we are so pleased you enjoyed it here and we very much look forward to welcoming you again. Louisa Property Owner

The property

Nestled in Ashover, a countryside village in Derbyshire, is this charming one-bedroom cottage, Cuckoo Nest.

Enjoying far-reaching, rural views, a private decked area, a contemporary studio-style layout, and a well-positioned base, near the Peak District National Park, the cottage welcomes two guests, recommended for a romantic break.

Delve into the well-equipped kitchen, with all expected appliances for a self-catering stay, before gathering around the dining table, with the sound of the TV on in the backdrop.

On sunny days, venture outside and benefit from the private front garden, suitable for alfresco dining or perhaps an afternoon barbecue, whilst appreciating the sweeping vistas across the Derbyshire hills.

As sleep calls, choose between the sofa bed, or climb the ladder up to the king-size bed, displaying picturesque, elevated glimpses towards Matlock.

You'll also find a sleek shower room in the Cuckoo Nest, where you can refresh ahead of your adventure-filled itinerary.

Before exploring the countryside, head into Ashover, where you’ll find three welcoming pubs, a local café, an ice cream shop, and Marsh Green Farm Shop, perfect for stocking up on local produce or to enjoy some breakfast.

Within walking distance to Cuckoo Nest, you’ll find Matlock Farm Park, home to various animals, including alpacas and llamas, along with two cafés offering delicious home cooked meals.

Recommended for outdoor enthusiasts, head to Lumsdale Waterfall and Peaks and Paddles Outdoor Adventure, offering canoeing trips and abseiling.

Towards Matlock you'll find an array of amenities, including boutique shops, Mad Hatter tearoom and The Duke of Wellington pub, whilst activities to experience include tours of Peak District Mining Museum, strolls around Sparrow Park, visits to Matlock Bath Aquarium, and travels upon the Heights of Abraham cable car, offering high-rising views across the countryside landscape.

Within proximity to the Peak District National Park, embark on a variety of walking trails and hikes, up to the likes of Cratcliffe, or perhaps head into Chesterfield and follow the Spital Trail, or follow the border of Wheeldon Mill Lock.

Feel at one with nature at Cuckoo Nest.
