“We’ve stayed here nine times now.”

The great thing about this cottage is that every time we visit there have been improvements made. The owners also keep the standards maintained by regular decorating and replacing items. The cottage is ideally placed for walking and for easy access to the chatsworth estate.

“Quirky, cosy cottage, special thanks to our hosts for being so accomodating.”

The wine, bread and milk was very welcome. Had a lovely week despite the weather. The cottage is a real home from home equipped with everything you need, Plenty of books, games and dvd's. Chatsworth House is in walking distance and well worth a visit. Lots of places to eat in Baslow. Would recommend , hopefully we will back. A++++

- Mrs Halligan, September 2019
“The cottage was straightforward to find, and a good base for exploring Derbyshire being relatively close to all main roads.”

The cottage is linked to the village shop and post office (same owners), so during extended daytime hours there is always a helping hand nearby if required. We were given a tour of the cottage and how to light the gas stove, etc, on arrival. Also a welcome pack of bread, milk and wine which was appreciated. The cottage was plenty big enough for two adults and two children. The cottage is clean and well equipped, bedding was very comfortable, shower and bath were great, plenty of hot water. We didn't find the on-road parking an issue at all. There are a number of eateries (pubs/hotel/pizzeria) within a 10 minute walk, plus a Co-op in addition to the village shop/post office. We would recommend this property and would be happy to book again.

- Mrs Hammond, August 2019
“A lovely cottage with everything we needed.”

Really appreciated the welcome package and having fresh bread in the morning from the shop next door. Visited with two children who really liked the cottage, especially the big bath! A fantastic base for visiting so many places. We particularly enjoyed walking to Chatsworth from Baslow.

- Mrs Holton, August 2019
“Such cosy welcome , cottage break really came across , lovely village .”

Peaceful but easy to travel the Peak areas . Thank you

- Mrs Seymour, August 2019
“Positives: very comfortable mattresses.”

Generally very clean and tidy. Very well situated. However: no soap in bathroom on arrival which was not very welcoming. We left a bottle for the next family! The temperatures on the knobs on the cooker had all warn off which made it very difficult to cook meals and the shower mat was utterly filthy. Stairs were very steep and steps narrow. Large enough for two people but any more would be cramped. I would not return to this property but had an enjoyable holiday. Chatsworth Farm shop should be visited early in a holiday particularly if you want to spoil yourselves. The food they sell is delicious.

- Mr Shannon, July 2019
“The cottage was just what I wanted an old style of living with all the comforts of today.”

I felt as though I had gone back in time it was lovely .

- Mr Green, June 2019
“Located in Baslow, the cottage is perfectly situated for walks to Chatsworth House, and very short journeys by car to Bakewell, Monsal Head and Viaduct, Eyam, Matlock to name but a few.”

This is the 5th year of booking Clematis Cottage for myself and my mother and we ❤ it. As soon as we walk through the door, it feels like coming home. Clematis Cottage is impeccably decorated and furnished in keeping with the character of the property. David and Christine Upton are the proud owners of this cottage, and are always so kind and friendly.

- Miss Walker, May 2019
“Beautiful little cottage next to the village shop which was really handy but you really didn’t notice the shop otherwise.”

Big enough for two adults and two teenagers. Cottage was very well equipped and very clean. Lovely village. I think if you were elderly you would find the stairs rather steep but for us it was absolutely fine. Thank you.

- Mr Ward, April 2019
“Nice cottage in a good location.”

Nice welcome pack of wine,bread and milk

- Mr Done, April 2019
“Had a great hols, so you can see why I gave the cottage full marks.”

This is my third time at the lovely Clematis Cottage in stunning Derbyshire, this Spring time of the year it just looks divine; we can walk straight out from here on long walks; did drive further away a couple of days to meet up with other walker friends, but no real need. Thanks again Best regs Helle

- Mrs Humby, April 2019
“Perfect, we loved it!”

Everything you could need, heaps of character and plenty to do in the local area.

- Mrs Gibson, March 2019
“Cottage was generally good and well located.”

Full of character. Kitchen equipment and utensils could do with a refresh / replace. Oven needs testing as I don’t think it’s hitting the right temperature.

- Mr Groves, March 2019
“Lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

have booked another stay there.

- Mrs Gibbs, February 2019
“The cottage as always, was very cosy and warm.”

Every year the owners make improvements and additions to improve the customer experience. This cottage is very well situated for walking into the chatsworth park and is close to shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend.

- Mrs Sheppard, November 2018
“We had a lovely stay at Clematis Cottage.”

The cottage had everything we could need and was perfectly located for the activities we wanted to do while we were there. We were greeted with a pack of tea cakes and a bottle of wine, which is a lovely touch and very welcome! The cottage is situated right next to the village shop and is owned by the family who run it, so there is always help if needed and is perfect for supplies if wanted. We ate at Rowley’s, Fischer’s Baslow Hall (a treat for our anniversary) and Il Lupino Ristorante, all of them are spitting distance from the cottage and highly recommended. The Lavendar Tea Rooms in Bakewell is a particular favourite that we’ve been to on previous visits. For those that like to stay in, there are DVDs and books galore (although we noted that a lot of freeview channels were not available). WiFi is good (the details are not in the welcome pack but are on the WiFi box itself). Reception is a little hit and miss upstairs but this is an old cottage so it did not bother us. The shower is not as good as the cottage details suggest. It was basic and satisfactory. There is a lovely roll top bath as well. The cottage is near a school but we were lucky with the parking as we were there during half term but I imagine it’s a little challenging if you try and park in the early morning or afternoon during term time. However this just requires a little bit of planning around, and common sense) and it would be absolutely fine. We would definitely return to Clematis Cottage and look forward to doing so in the New Year.

- Mrs Parker, October 2018
“We brought a friend with us who had spent a lot of time in the area.”

Sadly her husband has passed away and this was a trip down memory lane which she so enjoyed it. The cottage was ideal for walking to Chatsworth House.

- Mrs Hales, October 2018
“Genuinely homely and characterful cottage.”

Owners very welcoming and availabile (in shop next door) but totally non-intrusive. Great location with walks from house and good eating options on foot. Stairs challenging for mobility-impaired (can’t remember if this was flagged but if not, would be worth doing so). New bedding would improve comfort and update ‘feel’ a little.

- Dr Barnes, August 2018
“An absolutely lovely property in a beautiful part of the world.”

Would definitely recommend both the property and Sykes Cottages. Many thanks.

- Mr Swain, December 2017
“Lovely weekend with friends.”

Great location as we could walk to Chatsworth House, Nice pubs and restaurants

- Mrs Oller, November 2017
“Gorgeous!”

We absolutely loved our stay in Clematis Cottage! For such a tiny house, it has so much room and the layout is perfect. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is a really good size. The village is perfectly situated to be able to visit all over the Peaks, whether by foot or by car so no matter what your holiday aims are, this is the perfect place to stay.

- Daryl A, August 2017
“Delightful cottage in amazing location”

What a lovely cottage! In a charming village with great access to everything you need including the unmissable chatsworth house! We would also highly recommend the Italian in the village, which served delicious food and seemed very popular! The cottage itself was spotless and had been presented beautifully, fab bathroom and was perfect for 2 couples with 2 really good sized bedrooms. Our only criticism is that the basic essentials were a bit lacking in that we had no hand soap in the bathroom or kitchen and we had to buy our own toilet roll, but I doubt this is normal and I'm sure was just a slip up. The shop next door was well equipped and very handy being open until 8pm. Overall we feel we scored lucky with this cottage and would love to return!

“Doorstep to the Peaks”

This charming cottage ideally set in the village of Baslow for exploring the Peaks. Numerous walks from the doorstep including Chatsworth House and its grounds. Many attractions within a 30 minute drive and Sheffied only an hour away. The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard but still maintains the charm of an old cottage. It was clean and well decorated throughout. The kitchen was well equipped, the two bedrooms were spacious and the rolled top bath was an added luxury especially after a long walk! The sitting room was welcoming and had a gas fire wood-burner ideal for those chilly Autumn nights. There is a small well stocked and well used village shop next to the cottage but in no way interferes with the peace and quiet of the cottage. I would definitely recommend a stay at Clematis Cottage.

- Elaine H, January 2014
“Lasting memories!!!”

We have always loved the Peak District and in particular the area we stayed at. It was a very comfortable/cosy base to explore the area e.g. walks to Chatsworth and walks around Baslow, meals out as well as cooking in and visits to nearby towns eg Bakewell, Buxton The owners, David and Christine made us feel very welcome with complimentary wine, bread and milk. They were friendly, accommodating and warm without being intrusive. Lovely hosts! A totally relaxing and pleasant experience which we will definitely be repeating. Thank you David and Christine.

- Bogdan S, October 2013
“First class”

This delightful cottage lives up to the pictures. The twin beds are so comfortable, every room has been furnished with loving care - things look nice and are comfortable to use. Having the owners next door meant we could ask anything without feeling we were being a nuisance. This is the best location you could ask for - walking distance into Chatsworth House and park, an excellent shop open all hours and nice pubs to walk to. We only used the car once during our stay. This is probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

“Warm welcome in snowy conditions”

The house is very well equipped and it is conveniently placed next door to the local Spa who are also the key holders. The house is wonderfully warm and cosy. A range of Dvds / games are provided. The bedrooms are a good size. The bathroom is clean with separate shower and large bath. Parking is not a problem at all and there are lovely walks from the front door. Local pubs/shops are within walking distance.

“A very comfortable stay in a cottage full of interesting feature”

The cottage was very clean and tastefully furnished throughout.On arrival, there were thoughtful gifts to welcome us. We appreciated the fact that the owners have taken great care in researching not only the history of the cottage, but also included local walks and drives in the area in the informative folder in the lounge. Location excellent for touring the area. The bedrooms and bathroom were excellent and we found the beds extremely comfortable. It would be unfair to criticise anything as the owners had done everything they could to make this a cottage to return to in future-and we intend to do just that!

“Perfect for a midwinter break”

We stayed at this cottage while we were visiting our daughter at uni in sheffield. Once there you have no need to use your car - shop is next door, walk to chatsworth park and other locations. Everything warm and comfy.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, May 2012
“Gorgeous cottage, brilliant holiday.”

The cottage was beautiful and it was very handy that it was next door to a shop. The comings and goings of the shop doesn't interfere with your stay at all, as the cottage is well screened. The cottage itself is well stocked and the owners have thought carefully about the comfort/entertainment aspect of your stay. There are books, dvds, games for the children (and adults), a highchair, travel cot and the kitchen is well stock with everything that you'll need during your stay. We found it a lovely touch that we had been left a welcome pack. The location of the cottage is ideal too. Its a short walk to the local pub and even the grounds of Chatsworth house. We had a lovely stay and wouldn't hestitate to book the cottage again.

“Comfortable, Cosy and Convenient”

We stayed here for our second week in the Peak District as part of our honeymoon. We were very glad we had booked a different cottage for our second week as our first did not go well. This cottage was a lovely counteraction to that and meant we did not leave the Peak District with only bad memories. As there was just the two of us, the cottage was very spacious. For 4 adults it would be a bit tight but for a couple it was luxurious and for a family it would be perfectly comfortable. The cottage has a wonderful history, which the owners have thoughtfully explained in a file in the cottage. It is next to the village shop, which is very convenient but the carefully screened garden means you are not affected by the comings and goings in the shop. It is only a few minutes walk to several pubs and restaurants and Baslow itself has a really lovely feel. We treated ourselves to a meal at Fischers at Baslow Hall, which we would recommend to anyone wanting a special meal during their stay and getting a taxi there and back, even given the rural location was very reasonable. The cottage is decorated to a high standard for a holiday home and is very comfortable and cosy - the fire in the living room was lovely to take the chill off, even on a June evening! We found the beds very comfortable - this is a personal thing as I prefer a firm mattress for my back but I would not have thought it too hard for others. It also was equipped with everything you need and has plenty of storage space which makes for a more pleasant stay. It is easy to walk to Chatsworth from the cottage, which we did and then around the estate. All in all the cottage is set in a great location, easy to get to lots of places both walking and driving and we would recommend to all.

“best cottage ever”

welcome pack of wine and bakewell tart was lovely and the cottage was the best we have stayed in. Very clean,tidy and mod cons.Just 2mins walk to nearest pub where you can get lovely meals and excellent pint!!. Plenty of good and interesting walks with Chatsworth house very near.

“Relax and unwind”

Such a pretty cottage and very well located. We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful week with easy access to many areas of the Peak District. Pretty and comfortably furnished, with a lovely bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Sitting room was cosy and is fitted with a convenient gas-fired stove which was nice on the chillier evenings. Whilst the cottage sleeps four (two generous sized bedrooms and lots of storage upstairs), the living space downstairs was compact and 4 people around the kitchen table would be a bit tight. However, lots to do in the area and plenty of games and books in the cottage would keep younger children amused. A good location for older travellers seeking peace and quiet - however the cottage stairs were steep and could be awkward for some. Could we fault anything? Perhaps a slightly more comfortable mattress on the master bed, and a more powerful shower would be nice, but its just being picky really. In summary, we absolutely loved our week there and will return again.

Chatsworth 1 mile; Bakewell 5 miles.

Peak District Cottage Holidays

The pretty village of Baslow lies at the north end of stately Chatsworth House - home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The village has many unusual and picturesque features including a triple-arched river bridge guarded by a toll house whose doorway is only 3 1/2 feet high! Baslow offers a range of village amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants. Close by is Bakewell, the capital of the Peak District, and home of the famous Bakewell pudding (definitely not tart!), still made locally to an old and secret recipe. Bakewell is at the scenic heart of the Peak District, and with Alton Towers also within easy touring distance, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
