“Amazing - a lovely, family friendly place to stay”

I cannot recommend this cottage enough. So cozy and welcoming. The goats and donkeys were also very welcoming and my 2 children couldn’t wait to feed them apple slices and carrots each morning.

I cannot recommend this cottage enough. So cozy and welcoming. The goats and donkeys were also very welcoming and my 2 children couldn’t wait to feed them apple slices and carrots each morning. Very close to Ashbourne which was such a find - full of lovely shops and cafes.

“We had a lovely week at bluebird cottage.”

We've got two young children and they absolutely loved the goats and all the space to run around. There are lots of nice places to visit nearby, we would definitely recommend.

Mr Charles August 2020

“Bluebird cottage is spotlessly clean.”

The kitchen, albeit small is fully equipped with fridge, separate freezer plus all other mod cons. The beds are really comfortable and very well ventilated with large windows.There are 3 donkeys and a crazy cat that is a "purr machine"...great for families. There is a patio area overlooking a small grassy field...idyllic. Thomas and Irene the proprietors run an excellent ship.We have already booked our return for 2021. Finally, great value for money and an ideal location to explore the Peak District.

- Mr Charles, August 2020
Mrs Sewell August 2020

“The cottage had absolutely everything we needed.”

It is in a lovely quiet setting perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine. The water pressure in the shower is the best I’ve ever encountered on holiday!

“We had a great week at Bluebird Cottage, my children especially enjoyed being able to feed the donkeys and goats!”

The cottage was lovely, comfortable, well equipped, very clean, nice big garden, lovely and quiet setting. It is well situated, we didn't have to travel far to get to our many destinations during the week, Bakewell, Black Rocks, Dovedale, Alton Towers, Matlock and Carsington Waters. I would definitely recommend a stay at Bluebird Cottage.

- Mrs Dagg, August 2020

Mrs Mcbride September 2019

“We had a lovely few days in beautiful Derbyshire.”

It is an area that would suit folk who enjoyed walking.You would have to travel a few miles to civilisation if you weren't happy with picturesque villages & wonderful walks. We enjoyed every minute - both in the area & in the cottage.

Much better experience than the previous cottage. We were so pleased to stay there. Our little one was extremely happy there. It was her first experience to see the animals so close , didn’t want to leave them there. Beautiful location

Clean and well equipped, with a comfortable bed. And larger than you expect based on the photos. Would stay again.

- Mr Roberts, June 2019
Mr Bowman April 2019

“The cottage is newly adapted and well laid out.”

The kitchen and bathroom work very well. The double bedroom is spacious. The twin bedroom is adequate so long as one at most is very tall, as this requires a bed to be rotated. The bike storage is excellent. Irene was friendly and extremely helpful, bringing a map from a local shop and providing cord for mounting bikes. We would gladly return.

- Mr Bowman, April 2019
Mr Stafford April 2019

“Comfortable well equipped cottage in a very peaceful location.”

The owners have now provided a useful shared facility with washing machine and tumble drier.

- Mr Stafford, April 2019
Mr Norman March 2019

“Lovely place to stay, other than the door to the master bedroom being really low there's nothing to nit pick about the place.”

It's in a nice location and you can get to most of the decent towns within 25 minutes by car. Definitely worth a stay of your looking to just get out into the country for a break.

- Mr Norman, March 2019
Mr King March 2019

“Bluebird Cottage at Whitecliffe Farm nr Parwich.”

Stayed a week in March. Lovely and warm, comfortable and clean. The hosts played it right, not intrusive but available if needed (we didn't call on them). It is about two miles to anywhere though, so a long walk or car required. Quiet too, all in all would highly recommend.

- Mr King, March 2019

Mrs Oldbury April 2018

“Cottage excellently appointed for exploring the Peak District and surrounding area.”

Located in a quiet area on a working farm. A well equipped cottage with every possible need catered for. Ample space and good facilities. Constant hot water available, storage heaters located around the cottage if needed and overall a good home from home base. Clean and well maintained and owners accessible if needed. Ample parking space and lovely views of the area. Irene and Tom extremely welcoming and approachable. Enjoyed the donkeys, especially feeding them carrots!

- Mrs Oldbury, April 2018
Mrs Smith April 2018

“Thank you to Mr & Mrs Moorcroft for a lovely weekend at Bluebird cottage.”

The accommodation was perfect for our needs with full length windows that our 34 months grandson could sit and play watching the donkeys and lambs were ideal. It was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The only thing I would change are the photos on line which I don't feel do the cottage justice. We will defiantly be returning to this peaceful and beautiful part of England.

- Mrs Smith, April 2018

“If I could give Bluebird Cottage 6 stars I would”

This was a return visit for us, we adore this property. Bluebird cottage itself is well equipped with everything you need and is well presented throughout. It has a large kitchen diner that leads on to a nice sitting room with TV and DVD player. There is then a door out to the secure walled garden that is shared with thy holiday cottage next door. The garden is huge. Upstairs there is a very big master bedroom, a twin and a nice bath room. The cottage is great and is situated on the yard of the farm. There are goats, horses, donkies, sheep, farm dogs and a cat. Our children adore them all and love feeding and stroking them, my son cried when we left. The owners are the best we have had when staying in cottages. They make you so welcome. They answered the thousands of questions my son had about every aspect on the farm and genuinely enjoy having guests. In summary the cottage is great but the holiday is made by the people and the animals. We will definitely be back next year

- Mr Bhandari, December 2016
Mr Brown October 2016

“The cottage is very comfortable, with a terrific bed, is well equipped, and easy to access.”

The setting is very pleasant and quiet and is close to many good walks. The owners are helpful and unobtrusive, and we enjoyed their donkeys. After days of walking in muddy conditions it would have been useful to have a washing machine rather than a dishwasher in the cottage, but we booked knowing this was the case. Would certainly recommend.

- Mr Brown, October 2016
Mr Brunt August 2016

“In the directions the part that says "there are farm buildings to the left, turn right" relates to the paragraph above.”

Because it's split, it looks as if it's the next part of the directions which is confusing. The owners said quite a few people miss them, and I suspect this is why

- Mr Brunt, August 2016
Mrs Scarlett July 2016

It was tastefully furnished with very comfortable beds. The water was piping hot at all times which was very welcome after walking all day.

- Mrs Turner, July 2015
Mrs Seaton May 2015

“The location of the cottage was superb, not far off a main road but we felt far from the madding crowd.”

It was quiet and tranquil but close to a lot of major tourist sites and walking trails. The owners could not have been better, they were helpful but not intrusive. There were lots of walks straight from the door. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The donkeys were a delight! We had a brilliant week.

- Mrs Seaton, May 2015
AndrewDitch April 2015

“Beautiful cottage in great location!”

We loved staying here over new year 2015. The cottage is much bigger than the photos suggest and everything is in great condition. The bedrooms were excellent and the kitchen and lounge had everything we needed. The property was nice and warm which was good as there was plenty of snow outside. Excellent location near bakewell and dovedale. We did a great walk around carsington water too.

- AndrewDitch, April 2015
Mr Ditch December 2014

“We had a great time!”

The location was perfect in between Ashbourne and Bakewell. The property was much bigger than we had imagined and we also much nicer than what we had expected from looking at the photos on the website. It was very cosy and had plenty of space and we were very impressed with the decoration. The kitchen was very well equipped and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We would love to stay again!

Mr Salazar June 2014

“Bluebird cottage was fantastic - right in the Peak District on a lovely farm.”

The children loved watching the tractors in the field and feeding carrots to the donkeys every morning. The pictures don't do the cottage justice - it is really lovely and perfect for exploring all the sights of the Peak District. The owners were helpful and available if needed but essentially left us to it to enjoy - it was bliss!

- Mr Salazar, June 2014
Mrs Jones May 2014

- Mrs Jones, May 2014
Mr Coppack April 2014

“The welcome was friendly and the cottage was immaculately clean and immediately comfortable.”

It's size belied it's ability to easily accommodate 4 adults. The kitchen was well equipped and again pristine in its cleanliness. A lovely quiet position with ample parking and easy access to the peak district. I had forgotten that it was currently only graded 3* and would easily rate it 4*plus. We will definitely be using it again.

- Mr Coppack, April 2014

“Tranquil location and friendly, helpful owners”

We stayed here for a week with our two children (5 and 8 years) at the end of July 2011. The cottage (attached to the owner's farmhouse) was well presented and had everything we needed (in the kitchen too). The location was very peaceful and beautiful. The owners were very friendly and helpful; not at all overbearing and were happy for our children to feed fruit and veg to their two donkeys and two cows in the field opposite. We shall book with them again.

A FlipKey verified reviewer September 2012

“charming cottage linked to farmhouse in restful, rural location.”

We enjoyed the location, convenient for exploring the region - surrounded by fields but, being joined to the owner's farmhouse, it did not feel isolated. The cottage faced a concrete yard, field and barns (rustic - not chocolate box so could do with 'softening' a bit for holiday purposes - grassy garden behind (didn't use this so don't know if it would have suited families). The cottage was charming and larger than expected. We took advantage of a slight discount but on arrival realised it was probably given as the adjacent barn was being converted into a cottage - it would not have deterred us but would have appreciated knowing that in advance. As we were using the cottage as a base for exploring the region it didn't inconvenience us but may have done if we were planning just a quiet retreat. We would be happy to go back again.

EmsyBus August 2012

“Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.”

We booked for a weekend in Alton Towers for a friend's 30th and the icing on the cake was this gorgeous (not so) little cottage. It has lovely size rooms but is very cosy and warm and very clean. The owners were very helpful and left some essentials ready for us for when we arrived. The donkeys were an added bonus and we enjoyed feeding them. The perfect little place to go 'home' to after a day out or to relax in if you fancy a chilled day. (Just for reference there is no iron or ironing board.)

. Excellent service ...extra supplies were provided when needed on first night. . Delightful old cottage, well modernised with all mod cons (though I would have liked a washing machine) . Wonderful country walks direct from house, plus immediate access to one of England's finest rural regions. eg. Minninglow Hill. . We loved the pet donkeys; Parwich village (close by)is one of the prettiest we've seen, with a lovely family run pub (housing the village store). Great food. . Regular bus (Ashbourne - Buxton) is 1/2 mile away which we availed ouselves of when without our car for two days. . Highly recommended.

“Peace and quiet”

We have just spent Christmas at Bluebird Cottage in the snow and we absolutely loved it! We loved the peace and quiet and there are picturesque views from every window. The cottage was very comfortable and warm and it was very well equipped with everything that we needed. In a great location in the middle of the Peak District, with great walks near by and only a short drive to the lovely market town of Ashbourne. We will definately be returning!

Mrs Tulloch October 2010

“The cottage was well situated to access all the outstanding attractions and amenities of the Peak District, which we had never visited before.”

There were plenty of information leaflets and books to help us make the most of our stay. The owners were very welcoming, with tea and biscuits on arrival, and the property was well appointed and spotlessly clean.

“A well presented, well equipped cottage.”

Very clean, everything needed was provided and the owners were most welcoming. Qiuet but only a short drive to the main ashbourne to Buxton road. The pub The Jug and Glass a couple of miles towards Buxton do very good meals at sensible prices.

“The standard of the cottage exceeded our expectations as the photographs did not do it justice.”

It is a newly refurbished and cosy conversion in a central location for many attractions.

Ms Stone March 2010

“The cottage was wonderful and the owners were very helpful.”

It was exactly what we wanted and we hope to book the cottage again in a couple of months time. It was really nice to be greeted with a tea/coffee tray with biscuits, and milk in the fridge - just what we needed after a long journey!

The nearby Manifold River cuts a course through superb scenery and is a delight for both walkers and cyclists, with the 'Manifold Trail' following the route of the old Leek to Manifold Light Railway.
