• "Due to family sickness, myself, girlfriend and 2 year old son arrived at the property 2 days late at 11PM - they were kind enough to wait up for us to arrive allowing access to the cottage."

  On arrival the cottage was in immaculate condition and well presented, all relevant appliances required PAT tested and in working condition. The first night's sleep was amazing after the 4hr travel, we all slept like babies - after waking to the fresh country-side air, on our way out for day 1) the owner (Tom) reminded me that we were able to feed their goats and donkeys which my son absolutely loved, he has a massive obsessions with Tractor Tom the TV series so staying on a working farm with tractors present lit up his face the entirety of our stay. The cottage is situated in an ideal area of the Peak District: Ashbourne, Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock, Alton all below or around 30 minutes away. The hosts offer a selection of local pubs and food hotspots which are tried and tested: we visited (The Carriage) one of the suggestions, 3 times on our stay....Yes it is that good!! All in all the entire experience was exceptional, the hosts should credit themselves for delivering such a stellar service in terms of the cottage but also the facilities on offer, going above and beyond to be accomodating. You have given this family some fond memories to look back on and I cannot be more grateful. I'm sure if we are in a position to book next year, we will. Diolch from your guests from Wales

  ‘Wow’ thankyou so much. So pleased you’ve had a lovely holiday and made some fond memories. Look forward to seeing you again in the future. Many thanks Tom and Irene Property Owner

• "We had such a lovely long weekend at Bluebird Cottage."

  Booking was easy, and everything was as advertised. The cottage was so cosy and welcoming, and had everything we could possibly need - the farm eggs left for us were a nice touch. We loved feeding the donkeys and goats. Very easy to get to, but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, it was so peaceful. Nice pub in the village for meals as well (The Sycamore), but glad we booked as very busy. Honestly our stay could not have been better.

  Oh thank you so much, pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

• "We've just come back from a lovely week at Bluebird Cottage."

  We were really fortunate with a mostly dry week to enjoy the Peak District. The cottage was well fitted out with everything we needed, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of parking outside. It was fun to be able to feed the donkeys and goats in the field nearby. Although it is just down a little lane, it is easy to get to an A road which then takes you to Buxton, Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock. Would definitely recommend this cottage and this area.

  Pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, thank you. Property Owner

  The location for our cycling holiday was great and central to all trails and attractions.

• "We had a lovely time staying at Bluebird cottage."

  There was milk and fresh eggs waiting for us on arrival. All of the rooms are well proportioned and the cottage was very clean. The location is great as it's not too far from the A515 with easy access to Buxton and Ashbourne but also minimal traffic noise. I got to say hello to the donkeys at feeding time, and like that the owner Tom plays Classic FM in the yard in the afternoon. The only suggestion I can make is that it would have been nice to have a blanket in the lounge for the evenings, although the cottage was very warm.

  Thankyou, pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
