Comfortable beds and nicely furnished in a traditional style. Great place to welcome in the New Year with friends, large kitchen provided space for eating and socialising. We felt the kitchen could have been better stocked, no cafetiere, cooking oil or salt and pepper which we didn't expect to need to buy when paying so much money. There was also only enough wood for 2 small fires, we were hoping to have one each day as it was a cold time of the year. Apart from these minor disappointments we had a fantastic time and would return again! Thanks for having us!

“The car parking at the property was on first come basis and shared with other properties.”

The spaces are not marked out therefore dependent on people Parking well to enable cars to fit in. The house is good and loved the bath. Bed bed in double room needs slats in based screwed in. House in good looking location for walking from doorstep and close to historical houses- Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Enjoyed our stay overall.

“Great base”

Hi just stayed with a group of friends great location on a bus route beautiful walks from the local village to monsal head and around bakewell facilities at the cottage were excellent (but the beautiful bath needs a new plug as it just let the water out slow) The village of Ashford in the water has 2 pubs one is a hotel and the food was superb the Ashford arms the bulls head also served meals but are available on social media and we booked tables sat and sunday.

“The house was as described and in a great location.”

It was really clean and tidy when we arrived. There were a couple of maintenance things that could have done with some tlc but for the price the house was great!

“Good base for exploring monsal head Bakewell Chatsworth Matlock no rear garden or seating just a front grassed area.”

The cottage has limited parking and there was a lot of work going of at the other cottages all facilities in cottage good except bath looks great but needs new plug as the water leaks straight out again. Ashford arms hotel and the bulls head in the village both on social media can book tables and meals beautiful Ashford on the water small shop but Aldi near by short walk or drive take a right on the main road from the cottage towards Bakewell good bus route and went to Matlock derby Buxton Bakewell

“Cornbrook House was warm, well maintained and cleaned and very comfortable.”

We really enjoyed having such a big kitchen and bathroom. The location was excellent, with a shop, tea room and pubs nearby and plenty of excellent walks that could be done straight from the door. There was also a good bus service to get you further afield so we only got in the car twice during the week. We liked the style and decoration of the house and found that, although it is right next to the A6 it was quiet, we didn't really notice much traffic noise at all. There were a couple of tiny niggles - just details really but worth thinking about perhaps for the owners; having a full set of saucepans with lids would be useful, the cafetierre had lost its handle and was difficult to use, no drawers for clothes in the back bedroom. Having said that, generally the standard of cleanliness, furnishings and provision of things like towels, bedding, a hair dryer, were very good.

“The cottage is difficult to find.”

We received an e-mail for an estemated time of Arrival. But when we arrived there was no one to welcome us. So we could not enter the cottage because we had NO KEY! We called the telephonenumber we received, but there was no one. Gladly a gentleman who lives there could help us. He had the telephonenumber of one of the owners, who could tell us where we could find the key of the cottage. Finelly we could enter the cottage. We don't know what went wrong in your organisation? But you will understand that we were not happy with this situation at all!! We also could not use WIFI, although it is included in the price. We called severall times with the owner to fixe it, but that never happened.

“Lovely little cottage and convenient location.”

There is a supermarket (Aldi) 5 mins away and various tourist spots such as Bakewell, Castleton, Buxton and Chatsworth are only moments away in the car. The cottage itself is very nice and a high standard for the price paid. Would recommend.

- Mr Fisher, April 2019
“Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.”

- Miss O'malley, April 2019
“Lovely cottage lovely location in a beautiful village and close to Chatsworth house just a short driveaway.”

A half hour walk into Bakewell along the river with plenty of places to eat.

- Mrs Van Konijnenburg, February 2019
“We had another great week at Cornbrook House-it’s a beautifully presented property with a terrific kitchen.”

Would definitely book again!

- Mrs Haviland, October 2018
“Cornbrook house was placed perfectly for us to be near Bakewell and we have always loved the village of Ashford-in-the-Water.”

The house itself is just lovely inside, with every amenity we could imagine. I would love to have the kitchen in my own home! The house was immaculate and very comfortable.

- Mrs Mower, October 2018
“It was lovely to arrive at a cottage that was warm and welcoming, and the tea and biscuits made us feel even more welcome!”

An ideal spot for visiting the Peaks, located within easy reach of so many things to see and do. We were only there for a weekend, but had a great relaxing break, including trout spotting in the river! The kitchen was splendid, living room comfortable and we'd all like to come back when it's cold enough for the log burner. Perhaps think about replacing the key box at some point, we had trouble accessing the key when we arrived.

“Shame about the parking”

This is a lovely cottage, good quality equipment, great heating and amenities. It is in an great location close to pubs, shop and tea shop. The only problem is there is no allocated parking, the only parking is about eight spaces to serve 12 properties on a first come basis. When we first arrived there was no available parking,If you and your travelling companions can cope with this i would throughly recommend this cottage.

“Lovely shabby chic house just outside picturesque village”

Lovely house rather than cottage with high ceilings. Nice interior. Great kitchen/diner with quality cooking pots and pans and utensils rather than the cheap items you usually find in holiday lets. Smaller than expected but made up by high ceiling and two good size bedrooms. third bedroom was v small with a big bunkbed. shame there was only one bathroom with toilet so occasionally there was a queue for the bathroom. parking shared with other residents.

“Fantastic Cottage”

A beautiful cottage, decorated to a high standard. Free wi-if. Lovely location with great walks straight from the front door.

“enjoyable stay”

A very pleasant period house in excellent condition and with high standard of cleanliness and of furniture and fitments. The kitchen was a delight, with everything you needed available. Two good sized bedrooms with a smaller third with very comfortable beds and bedding. A large bathroom well fitted with seoarate shower was very welcome. A chest full of toys was of delight for the children. On the oustskirts of the village of ashford which had a store and pubs and vey near Bakewell with many more amenities.It was easy to go on various walks from the house itself.It was very easy to visit other well known places. Although the house was part of a terrace it was very quiet and we heard no noise at all.While there was small garden in front we would have liked a back garden or yard as it rained a lot and we found it difficult to dry clothes

About the location

ASHFORD-IN-THE-WATER

Bakewell 2 miles.

The picture-postcard village of Ashford-in-the-Water nestles on the banks of the River Wye, just two miles from Bakewell, at the heart of the Peak District National Park. This historic village, once famous for its marble, consists of 18th century stone cottages, two lovely pubs, an exquisite restaurant and a superb village store, renowned for its quality produce. The medieval Sheepwash Bridge, overhung by whispering willow trees, was once a major crossing point over the Wye for packhorses delivering malt from Derby and is flanked by a former sheep washing pen. Ashford Cricket Ground is a perfect spot to spend an afternoon supporting the local team, whilst Ashford 'Orchard' provides an ideal children's play area. The nearby, renowned market town of Bakewell offers a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, together with frequent local farmers' markets. Visit the many stately homes, including Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, or explore the rugged Dark Peak and softer limestone White Peak, all within easy reach. With Britain's premier theme park, Alton Towers and the impressive caverns at Castleton close by, you'll be spoilt for choice at this fantastic location.
