  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Holly cottage."

    As the interior was so much to our taste I would say it’s possibly the best place we’ve stayed in. It is in a lovely setting with field views yet convenient for many places to visit being situated just off the A6. For us, having a log burning stove to light on the cooler evenings was pure bliss. Hope to return soon.

  • "Lovely stay at Holly Cottage, clear directions to find property, owners friendly and we appreciated the welcome pack, cottage very clean and modern."

    The colour scheme, and kitchen appliances excellent. good location to explore the Peak District. We ate out at The Bear Inn, and Bulls Head , would recommend both. We visited Bakewell, Crich Tramway, cycled The Monsal Trail, visited Carsington water. Thank you for letting us stay at Holly Cottage.

    Spotlessly clean, has everything you need and an amazing location for a walk or wander round the farm. Welcoming owners and comprehensive instructions. We had a lovely time.

  • "The cottage is a former farm property that has been stylishly and thoughtfully converted making a warm and comfortable home from home."

    We enjoyed the peaceful setting and had a relaxing short stay over Easter. I expect that we will return.

  • "I loved the standard of finish throughout and the home comforts provided."

    I especially liked the underfloor heating that was easily controlled, and the free-standing bath. The kitchen was well equipped and contained everything I need for my stay including dish washing liquid, scrubber, tea towel, and dishwasher tablets. I appreciated the welcome pack containing milk, tea, coffee and shortbread. David and Sally were really receptive to my needs and quickly dealt with a routine maintenance issue that arose during my stay. There were beautiful walks from the door and a rail station a walkable distance away. Be sure to double check the location before arriving on a map, as it can be a bit tricky to find if you arrive after dark. Holly cottage is in a complex of outbuildings converted into cottages. Bear in mind that you may hear other occupants if you have a cottage adjoining another. And I'd recommend bringing ear plugs if you time your visit with when the on-sight delightful cows are feeling the need to call to mates! All in all a perfect stay.

    It has everything you need. If I was being really picky…a screen on the shower to avoid water splashing on the floor and wall which will in time, spoil the tongue & groove. But really, the cottage is perfect. We’d like to come back.
