Cordwainer Cottage

I received a message the day before arrival with all the information I needed to find the property.

I was met on arrival by the adorable Muriel who explained all I needed to know including the heating, recycling arrangements and security, with the gate locked at night and a key provided. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped and in a very peaceful area convenient for exploring the Peak District. Highly recommended.

Lovely and clean cottage set in a beautiful location friendly host.

We were met on arrival by Muriel the very friendly owner of Cordwainer cottage who explained about all the necessary things we needed to know about such as the heating controls etc .

It was a lovely clean and comfortable little cottage and a credit to the lovely Muriel who was always helpful and ready to share her knowledge of the surrounding area which made our stay all the more enjoyable . We would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone looking for holiday accommodation in this part of the country .

Owner very pleasant and helpful.

Cottage very small, particularly the kitchen. Property very dated with the settee and armchair both being uncomfortable. Would benefit from new settee and armchair plus a small chest of drawers in the bedroom. Bed very comfortable.

The cottage is as advertised and sits in the owners grounds.

Muriel greeted us on arrival with tea ,coffee and biscuits - she is an amazing woman as at 88 she still does all the cleaning and the cottage was spotless! We saw her every day when she opened the gates and ended up having some interesting chats. Not only about what was available locally but further afield and her life in general. When we left we felt like we had made a friend so much so that some big hugs were in order. The area was beautiful and we had a very relaxing break. The only down side being the kitchen was smaller than expected but very well equipped and we managed to have some lovely home cooked dinners. We will be looking to book again when we are next in the area - even if it's just to catch up with our friend!.

Eco 7 heating is great in morning but it needs a top up facility for evenings during winter months.

Loved the cottage, and Muriel's warmth. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

We booked Cordwainer Cottage as a convenient location to stay whilst attending a family wedding in the area.

It worked out much more economical than staying in local hotels and was central to access several locations over the weekend. This peaceful cottage was wonderful to unwind after the hectic celebrations. We were met on arrival by Muriel who showed us the cottage and handed over the keys but left us to our own devices during our stay with the exception of clearing snow from around our door and around the car after an overnight snowfall. Would happily book again if we are in the area.

Accueil chaleureux et réelle envie d’aider dans un cadre agréable.

Cordwainer Cottage is a snug little place, tucked away in lovely rural surrounding which provided us with everything we needed to have a relaxing break.

Perfectly situated to explore some of the local attractions with a short drive. The owner Muriel is just lovely and could not do enough for us, my wife would return, just to see Muriel again. We will definitely revisit and would recommend this property to anyone who just needs some time out from the hustle and bustle of normal life.

Wonderful all round!

The owner was there to welcome us and she was so welcoming.

Nothing was was to much trouble There was everything you needed beautifully clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and if we are that way again we would definitely stay there again.

Warm welcome.

Beautiful and clean. Tea/biscuits for us on arrival. Very comfy bed. Property as described. Only criticism was beautiful sofa but not comfortable. Would stay again no problem

Excellent home from home facilities.

I like to stay here as I often work locally but live far away. Well equipped kitchen lets me eat better than if I stayed in a hotel or B&B. Friendly & efficient host/service

We had a lovely relaxing stay .

The owner Muriel was delightful she even gave us a card when she knew it was our anniversary. Would go back again.

Absolutely amazing place to stay and the host muriel is simply lovely.

Would definitely return, was made to feel so welcome xx

This was my second stay at Cordwainer Cottage.

It is ideally located for all the places I wanted to visit. Muriel, the owner is lovely, and we spoke most days. It had everything I needed for my break and it was spotlessly clean. I've already recommended it to several of my friends.. The only suggestion I would make, would be to put a mirror on the opposite side of the road to assist exiting the driveway.

Lovely cosy property and equally lovely host.

Beautiful area; very peaceful.

What a lovely week we had.

The cottage was perfect for our needs, We wanted a nice week away and we got it. Lovely and quite location Ideal place to explore the Peak District. The owner Muriel was very helpful, We would love to return in the future

Cottage was Compact, but Comfortable, Clean, ideal base for us.

Muriel the owner was available but not intrusive, she made us very welcome. We felt happy there.

I cannot praise the owner enough, greeted us with a smile, and made sure we had all we would need to enjoy our stay, looking forward to going back for another visit.

A lovely little cottage equipped with everything you need.

The cottage sits in the owners grounds. I can honestly say she is one of the nicest people I have ever met and her local knowledge helped make the holiday as enjoyable as it was, We also saw her for a daily chat and they were as much a part of the holiday as our daily trips out. Bakewell market on a Monday is definitely worth a visit. Also whilst you are in the potteries you have to visit one of the pottery museums. We went to Gladstone pottery and it was a day to remember. My husband is partially sighted and the staff were magnificent .The cafe is also worth a visit, be warned though the tea cakes are bigger than a small plate. Thinking of booking the cottage again next year.
