“Fantastic location, close to everywhere we wanted to go - Alton Towers, Chatsworth, Ilam.”

Very clean and spacious. Excellent pub/hotel with beer garden and play area just over road. Lovely views and comfortable beds.

“Great cottage, good views, large bedrooms and nice gardens.”

Plenty to do in the area and is away from the main tourist honey traps.

Mr Cox, May 2019
“A lovely dwelling, well-presented and with everything we needed.”

There was a problem with the central heating when we arrived, but portable heaters were then provided for the first night and the heating fixed for the following days.

We wanted for nothing! Even hand soap, washing up liquid, cleaning products, dishwasher tablets etc were provided although we had brought our own. We were fortunate enough to meet the owners as we were checking out - John and Pauline, such lovely people. Highly recommended and will definately go back!

Miss White, April 2019
“The property was really wonderful, scenic views from the living room and a terrace where you can relax with a cuppa and a nice book; truly a home away from home.”

Easy travel to the peak district's attraction sites and nearby Ashbourne for food supplies and local shopping. The whole family had a very nice time.

Miss Russool, March 2019

The house was clean, spacious and comfortable with lovely views. The parking, although enough for 3 small cars or 2 medium/large, was a little tight as no room for manoeuvrability once you're in (parking area width was just enough for one car). There was extra parking space further down the field/driveway but not good if raining or if you are disabled. Couldn't let the dogs off without a lead in the immediate vicinity as close to busy road and the land surrounding was private with livestock - that was a little constraining BUT a very short drive and you were met with some beautiful walks with spectacular views. Right on the doorstep was Ashbourne, Leek, Matlock, Cranford - all lovely, quaint places to visit. Would recommend this house as an ideal base and a very comfortable place to stay - thank you.

Mr Harris, March 2019

The rooms are all very spacious. All famous tourist attractions within 30 minutes drive. The post code mentioned in the site and booking confirmation won't work on TomTom satnav and so had to drive to station road and use google map in mobile app to locate the destination. Very nice farm view behind the house....

Mr Ravindran Pillai, March 2019
“A lovely home, very well catered.”

Only negative would have been information about the area, Walks things to do. Highly recommend this cottage.

It really was a home from home, very well equipped with everything in the kitchen one might need. We met the person who looks after the house when he came to mend the shed roof, and he was very friendly and helpful.

Mr Hall, January 2019
“The house was very good in all aspects.”

Only one small criticism is that the directions given to the property were not clear and possibly a sign at the house itself would be good.

Mr Bruce, September 2018
“Perfect house for our needs, ages from 63 to 96, steps outside a little difficult for limited mobility but ground floor bedrooms ideal and excellent showers.”

Very comfortable beds and very well equipped and warm, clean house. Good access to all surrounding countryside, towns and places of interest, road quite busy so not ideal for walking direct from house but possible. Owner and caretakers kind, helpful when needed but not intrusive. We would certainly recommend this holiday house to others.

Mrs Jensen, September 2018
“Drysedale House is a lovely spacious well equipped house with 4 comfortable bedrooms.”

We had a delicious meal and very reasonably priced at The Bentley Brook Inn which is a short walk away. Can recommend Dryesdale House as we really enjoyed our stay there.

Mrs Baines, August 2018

Although this was a newly let property, we would have expected the booking agents to either suggest an information pack or to produce one. The property details should mention that it is near a busy main road with a lot of noisy lorries which seem to start early in the morning.This information would be useful for those with dogs as the garden is not fully enclosed or secure. The owner turned up unannounced to water the garden which we found very intrusive. We offered to water it for him but he still insisted on coming. Inside the property was spacious and well presented although we thought it was a bit pricey.

About the location

FENNY BENTLEY

Ashbourne 2 miles; Alton Towers 13 miles.

The pretty village of Fenny Bentley lies 2 miles north of Ashbourne. Life in Fenny Bentley revolves, as it has done for years, around the pub and the church. The Church of St Edmund dates back to the 14th century. Some particular features of the church are its 16th century screens and the alabaster Beresford tomb. The heart of the village is surely the Coach & Horses, a welcoming coaching inn with real ales. Just 2 miles away, the traditional market town of Ashbourne, once a fashionable social centre in the 18th Century, boasts an eccentric street plan, quaint cobbled alleyways, old market stalls and welcoming coaching inns. Many fine Georgian buildings remain and host a good selection of restaurants and interesting antique shops. For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold valleys are close by offering excellent walking and cycling opportunities, whilst the thrills and spills of Alton Towers are just a short drive away.
