  • "Wonderful extended stay in Clovermead."

    Everything we needed to make us comfortable. Lovely and warm, which was great as we stayed in winter. Best bit was the beautiful view where we spent many hours bird watching and looking at the sunsets. Highly recommended and many thanks to the owners.

    It had everything we wanted. A relaxing holiday. The cottage itself was really comfortable and welcoming. The bread, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch. I loved watching the birds and squirrels in the garden. Plus we had fantastic weather. Brilliant

  • "Went for a week with my elderly Dad, so everything being on one level was ideal."

    The lounge/kitchen/dining room is open plan and makes the bungalow feel very airy, plus it is extremely well-equipped. You can sit outside on the decking, which is accessible from the lounge and there is a lawned area for dogs if you have one (we don't!). Yes, you can hear the A38 when sitting outside, but inside the bungalow is very quiet and relaxing. In particular, we enjoyed visiting Mercia Marina, which has great shops, cafés and barge trips - perfect for all the family. We met Rosemary, the owner, and her daughter, Felicity, who were both delightful. Bread rolls, shortbread, milk and home-grown tomatoes were left for us, which were very welcome - thank you very much.

    Thank you for your feedback and pleased you found Clovermead cottage comfortable. Rosemary Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely week at Clovermead Cottage."

    The cottage was spacious with two good sized bedrooms, large lounge looking out onto decking and private secure garden, the kitchen was very well equipped with appliances, utensils and crockery. Bathrooms were both excellent, great having the bath for the kids. The cottage is well located, although there was some road noise from A38 once windows are closed this can barely be heard. We visited Calke Abbey, Kedleston Hall, Markeaton Park, Moorways Swimmimg Pool, Crich Tramway and Matlock. All places within easy driving distance. The owner Rose is very friendly, milk and bread on arrival plus even left out a paddling pool for kids as weather was good. Definitely recommend,

  • "Enjoyed our stay at Clovermead."

    It had everything we needed and everything worked fine, although it was a little old fashioned in some respects. But it was cheaper than some other holiday lets with similar facilities. It had a nice LG 48” television in the lounge that looked fairly new. There was a good sized garden area at the back which was enclosed, so we could let our dog run around off lead. There were a few steps down to the garden from the decking terrace, so it may not be possible for a disabled person to get down to the garden. There was quite a bit of traffic noise from the nearby A50 road. The bungalow is near the owner’s house, which is just outside the village of Findern down a narrow road. We didn’t walk far along this road as it and the grass verges were quite muddy (although we saw others walking their dogs there). We were there in March, so it is probably much nicer in the summer. It was a nice place to stay while we explored the surrounding area.

    It was a wee bit noisy with co stant traffic from the A38, but this tended to lessesn with time as you got used to it. Off the beaten track, but close enough to get to the canal and some beautiful areas to walk. Some good pubs nearby. The village shop was expensive, so provisions would be better bought at the nearest big supermarket. The dogs loved the enclosed garden and had a great time scrumping the apples from the trees. A lovely place to base a stay overall.

    The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location. It was a lovely surprise to arrive and find the owners had left milk in the fridge and some lovely biscuits. The house is very well equipped and the added bonus of a wide selection of sports equipment in the garden was a huge bonus for our children, tennis and badminton, basketball and croquet were all enjoyed during our stay. There was also a good selection of games for all ages and the owners kindly added hungry frogs to them for our boys to use during the stay. The house has a beautiful outlook and from the decking/lounge we spotted lots of wildlife highlights being a barn owl, buzzards, bats and long tailed tits who were busy on the bird feeder in the garden. The owners are lovely and gave us some tips on places to visit. Markeaton park nearby is a fantastic place for families. There is so much to do nearby we will have to come back as we couldn't fit it all in to one week. Thank you for a fabulous time the boys were in tears and sad when we had to leave as they'd enjoyed it so much.
