The Den, Bank Top Farm

What a lovely place to stay a real hidden gem.

The owner was really nice. The cottage was well appointed with really comfy bed.The hot tub was a good way of relaxing after great days out. My husband loved the coffee machine.a classy touch.This location was very central to many attraction such as Dovedale stepping stones and much more.

We had a fantastic stay at The Den - it had everything we needed, cleanliness was fantastic and the bed was extremely comfy!

We really enjoyed using the BBQ and the hot tub in the evening. An ideal location for getting around the peak district too! We can't wait to come back ☺️

Had an amazing stay.

Just what we wanted. The only thing which is not criticism but the shower was not powerful and I did recommend blinds up against the back door for more privacy. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you for making our Christmas stay magical.

Really nice accommodation, had everything we needed.

Wasn’t in walking distance of many places but was a gorgeous location nonetheless.

Beautiful, quiet place.

Well equipped and excellent communication with owner.

We had a beautiful stay at Bank Top Farm.

Karl was very friendly and helpful on arrival. The Den is immaculate and cosy with an extremely comfy bed. Everything has been well thought out in the space. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub in the evenings after autumnal walks in the Peaks. We will be recommending Bank Top Farm to friends and family. Thank you!

Host/owner was very welcoming and very informative when we arrived, showed us round and explained everything and answered any questions we had.

The cottage was really nice, self contained. With all amenities you need for a weekend stay. Hottub was pre warmed and very comfortable. Nice little touch with a bottle of prosecco. The bed was seriously comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. I totally recommend staying at the ‘Den’

this is our second time at the den and we were not disappointed a lovely location to visit the Peak District plus the hot tub is great

Lovely accomodation, very well equipped and the bottle of chilled prosecco when we arrived was just right.

Small, but very comfortable and the hot tub was a treat!! Karl was very welcoming. A real rural idyll. Would recommend.

The cottage was stunning and very well done, immaculately furnished.

The host was helpful in every way and really polite, was so peaceful with surrounding country pubs to drive to or one was walkable from the cottage. Only thing I could mark it down on was the hot tub was quite small but still enjoyed it. Definitely book again.

very happy great place to stay clean quiet and comfortable 10 /10

Exactly as pictured and described.

Very well equipped. The owner Karl was very helpful and friendly and we would not hesitate to book with him again. This is a great place to stay and a good base to get out and about and explore the area.

The Den is a compact, well appointed cottage, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay - including a hot tub which we sadly did not have the time to use!

It is a bit off the beaten track but the rural setting is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The owner Karl was friendly and helpful and it was good to know that he was close to hand should we have needed him.

We had a really relaxing stay at this lovely cottage.

I would thoroughly recommend it

Lovely place for a short break in such a beautiful area.

Host very welcoming and on hand in case any issue might arise Would love to go back again and do some more exploring in the area Highly recommended !!

We needed a place to relax and recharge.

Accommodation had everything we needed, Karl was there to meet us and the welcome gift was much appreciated. We will be returning.

Amazing!

Lovely place to stay!

Karl was so friendly and we would definitely recommend staying here to our friends and family.

Very warm and comfortable stay with all necessary appliances provided to make it feel a home-from-home.

Loved the hot tub, a real treat where we enjoyed sharing the complimentary bottle of fizz. Thank you for making our time away together a special experience. Linda and Tom

Stayed at the Den and couldn't be happier.

Had a lovely gift waiting for us on arrival which complemented the lovely warm hot tub that was ready to be used and waiting for us on arrival. Cottage was also already heated for us on arrival which was appreciated as we got there early evening. The host was very welcoming and couldnt do enough for you. The Cottage had everything you needed so you don't need to take a thing with you. You are left with lots of info to help your stay from places to go/eat close by, it's even stated in miles incase you want a walk, along with lovely places to walk and visit during your stay. We couldn't of been happier.

My wife and I visited The Den on our mini-moon in the Peak District The place was comfortable, clean, and well equipped with high quality furnishings and amenities We enjoyed the use of the hot tub and appreciated how accessible and private everything was Karl was so kind and understanding even despite a mistake we made with the TV.

Thanks for the great stay! We will be recommending and likely to come back

We had a really lovely stay and Karl was an excellent host right down to the chilled Prosecco and fresh flowers.

The only reason we’ve given 4 stars and not 5 is that, for us, we would have preferred a slightly more comfortable sofa (it seemed to be more “occasional seating” and we found sitting for an evening was not the most relaxing). The other thing was the slightly limited clothes hanging space and somewhere to put bulky outdoor coats etc. where they didn’t keep falling off the hooks! We are NOT nitpicking but hope you appreciate us drawing these things to your attention. All of the other facilities were of excellent quality, and everything you could possibly want was provided - even down to an air fryer. We so enjoyed our brief stay. Hot tub was lovely. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay in this well kept, well equipped quiet location.

The welcome pack of flowers and Prosecco was a lovely touch. As was the supply of milk, coffee and tea. The hot tub was relaxing after a day's walk in the countryside. We would stay again

We had a lovely weekend in this beautiful property .

Karl was so welcoming and helpfull without being intrusive. Would highly recommend this cottage in a beautiful setting .Ashbourne is a beautiful place to visit and is only 10 minutes away.We will definitely be retuning .

We had a lovely time at The Den and Karl was very friendly and welcoming!

Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

A short break booked last minute for a birthday gift.

The place was amazing and the host Karl was to, he is available all of the time but does not intrude he's physic I think, he showed us how to get in and out of the hottub of which I was very worried, but we needn't have it was amazing and helped or arthritis no end. The place it's self ours being the Den was 5star plus even to the point of asking a friend who travels alot to name something ( always something she needs lol) she could not!! From a sieve to grater there is everything!!! On arrival there was also a bottle of bubbles, flowers tea coffee etc even milk in fridge. Everything about the break was 5* thanku Karl

Lovely peaceful setting, and a lovely owner who greeted us and showed us around when we arrived.

Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen area and the hot tub was great. We may well be back to try one of the other properties!

I think we were expecting a bit more privacy.

It felt a little awkward sitting in the hot tub with the owners home overlooking, visitors to the owner also pulled up right next to where we were sat in the hot tub. The French doors at the back of the den need some privacy blinds. Leaky shower and the sofa in living room was very uncomfortable. We had till 10am to vacate the den but the owner was in the back yard from 7am cleaning the hot tub. Lovely place and lovely host. Just not for us unfortunately.

Just had a wonderful holiday in Derbyshire staying in the Den at Bank Top Farm.

We were made to feel very welcome even before the holiday when we spoke to Karl on the phone. Karl was there to meet us with a handshake on arrival and showed us around, we felt very looked after and he even had a complimentary chilled bottle of bubbly waiting for us. The cottage is a lovely base from which to explore the area, then return to a great hot tub and BBQ. The bed is comfortable and there is a lot of attention to detail throughout the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I'm sure we'll be back!

Karl was an amazing host.

Nothing was too much trouble. We had a bottle of fizz waiting for us as we arrived which I thought was a lovely touch. The place was clean and had everything you need. Attention to detail was spot on even down to having a fresh pint of milk waiting for us. Highly recommend Jayne and Scott

Karl was very welcoming and the Den was really clean and had everything we needed

We had the most incredible short break at The Den.

The accommodation was absolutely stunning, well equipped and so clean. The hot tub was also a big hit! We can’t thank the wonderful host Karl enough for making our stay so special. The personal greeting and little extras that Karl provided just added the icing to the cake and what was a wonderful little holiday. Can’t wait to come back! Jodie and Richie

Absolutely brilliant weekend.

Brilliant location. Hot tub was a dream. Karl was the perfect host too. Will recommend to everyone and will definitely be back in the future.

Me and my partner stayed at the Den and it was lovely.

There was everything you needed, it was spotless on arrival & really cosy! The hot tub was great too. It is in a beautiful location, the booklet kept at the property provided us with things to do, places to eat and takeaways etc. The owner Karl was very attentive and made us feel welcome.

Had a fantastic stay and made to feel very welcome by Karl.

Had everything we needed and having the hot tub was a bonus.

The Den is a cosy and lovely place to stay!

We absolutely loved what they did with place. Everything that I expected and more. The hot tub was a hit with me and partner, we enjoyed spending our time in there and relaxing. Karl was an amazing host and provided us with a guide which was very helpful and informative. We used it all the time which was great, as we didn’t know the area. We’re already planning our next visit to Bank Top Farm!

It was our first time at The Den and we wasn’t disappointed one bit.

We were met by Karl who was very proud of his property and pointed out the complimentary bottle of Prosecco and flowers before explaining everything we needed to know including how to work the hot tub. The area is so peaceful yet there is plenty to do within a few miles away. We really only went to chill out and relax for the week so spent most of our time in The Den and even though it’s not a huge place we felt very comfortable and at home. I can definitely recommend the place and will return

We really enjoyed our stay with Bank top farm.

Very attentive and lovely people. The Den was beautiful and so clean. The hot tub was just perfect, the best way to relax and look at the stars. We had everything we needed and more here. we will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cozy, relaxing stay!

Absolutely superb stay!

Karl and his "crew" have an absolute gem and are excellent in everything you can think of in your stay. Christine and I had a 3-night break and it was total rest and relaxation. The accommodation is top notch, facilities second to none and the hot tub was the highlight...a total indulgence! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed talking to Karl as we were leaving...a nice touch, as he asked if anything could be added or we had any ideas on improvements. We would definitely recommend the break and the site for a relaxing getaway from the stresses of everyday life and look forward to our next visit! Keep up the good work Karl 'n' the Gang...5*****

Lovely Cottage and excellent host.

Karl made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us, during our stay. Highly recommended by us.

Wonderful place to stay.

This was our first break away for 5 years and booked this cottage on the strength of its recommendations and reviews. They were not wrong. Hot tub was lovely, clean and well maintained. Kitchen area was spotless as well as the bathroom. We didn't have any plans made about what to see and do however the folder left in the cottage gave us a few pointers and off we went. Local pubs were great and we would recommend 'The Shoulder of Mutton' as a great place for food. For visiting places Ashbourne was a nice town and make sure you visit Chatsworth House and Kedleston Hall. Not to mention Alton towers. Top notch service and support by Karl and Pip - thanks to you both. We hope to see you again soon.

We stayed in The Den, Bank Top Farm in Mid August.

We were met by Karl upon arrival, who was very welcoming and showed us around. The property is really nice and modern with everything you could want, the Hot hub was fantastic, clean, and relaxing. It was checked twice a day by Karl. We took our bikes and Karl kindly lent us a bike lock as well to secure the bikes. We had some amazing food during our stay at nearby Ashbourne, at the George and Dragon, Greenman, and Bowling Green, all can be recommended. Overall a great place to stay, recommended!

We enjoyed our stay at The Den very much.

We can highly recommend this accommodation. Karl was very welcoming. We will be happy to return.

We came to the den for a little getaway from everyday life and to celebrate our engagement and it was just perfect.

Karl the host greeted us on arrival with flowers and Prosecco and showed us around the den. The den had everything we could need and more. Karl even helped us out with a phone charger when ours stopped working. Honestly the den was just amazing and so was Karl. It was perfect from start to finish and we can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to come back again and tell our family and friends about it too.

We come to the den for a well needed break and had the the most amazing stay Carl was super welcoming and helpful nothing was a bother he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome the bottle of Prosecco went down a treat in the hot tub was a perfect little hideaway will definitely be retuning in the future !

!

Karl is an exceptional host and the Den was amazing, very comfortable and well equipped.

We had a great weekend, the location is so quiet and peaceful and everything entices you to relax, including the loungers! There is so much to see and do in the local area, Dovedale stepping stones is beautiful and well worth a trip out. Thank you Karl for being an amazing host

WOW, What can we say.

Karl made us so Welcome, It was a lovely gesture with Wine & Flowers, The Den accommodation was immaculate You could not wish for a nicer place to stay with quality equipment , everything was thought off. Hot tub was a added bonus after a long day out it was most welcoming. If you looking for a quiet place to stay then look no further. Bank Top Farm is set in Beautiful surroundings so close to the Peaks. The owners are a Lovely Family, What else do you need just lay back & enjoy. We will be back.

We had a really lovely time, and were really impressed with the facilities and the location.

We'd love to come back and stay again. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at the Den, at Bank Top Farm.

Karl, the owner has gone above and beyond to provide everything you would need for a relaxing week away. We were out walking/cycling most days and on returning to the Den the Hot Tub was an added bonus to relieve our aches and pains from so much exercise. Karl met us on the day we arrived and went through how to use everything, we even had a bottle of Prosseco that was chilling, ready for us. The only minor negative point is we didn't find the sofa particularly comfortable for 2 people to sit on, but would still give this property 10 out of 10 as everything else was perfect. Thank you Karl for making our week away perfect!

This hot tub cottage is set in a lovely rural setting and close to all facilities.

Ashbourne and the Tissington Trail are not far away. The cottage itself is furnished to a high standard and spotlessly clean. The hot tub is a great feature and being December we were able to sit in the hot tub and watch the shooting stars as we had clear nights. The owner greeted us on arrival and clearly takes pride in ensuring his guests enjoy their stay. A great value cottage, would highly recommend.

Brilliant stay from start to finish we had a warm welcome and everything was as it said couldn’t fault it , it was a home from home, very comfortable.

Nothing was too much trouble thank you Karl

A thoroughly relaxing stay and made to feel very welcome by the host.

A nice touch to include flowers and Prosecco. The hot tub was excellent. Thank you!

Exactly what is stated on the box , Turn up, enjoy your experience and leave.

From start to finish no issues, great accommodation & hot tub, in great surroundings, with your every need catered for by the owners. Thank you Carl Helen & Pip. Had a great time and certainly intend to return .

The property exceeded our expectations.

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

We spent an enjoyable week at The Den.

It was immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owner Carl could not have been more helpful and accommodating and the provisions left for us were very much appreciated. Would very highly recommend.

We had really great holidays full of relax.

Cottage has everything what we needed and even more. Can recommend for sure, and very probably we will visit this place again in future.

Very welcomed and exactly as described.

Karl the owner was very friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was a very lovely area.

We had a fantastic time the facilities were absolutely brilliant.

Our hosts Karl and Helen were great.Will be recommending to friends and we will be returning in future a lovely place to relax an unwind.

Amazing getaway in a great location to visit the Peak District.

Really well equipped, modern and stylish with a great private decked area with hot tub. Karl the host was super friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend anyone looking to take a break here. Superb, it exceeded expectations.

Fantastic stay great accommodation very friendly owners definitely will go back again

Excellent location for exploring the southern Derbyshire Dales.

Good facilities and exceptionally clean. Compact accommodation but had all we needed for a lovely break. Friendly owner on site who made us feel really welcome.

This was a fantastic place for a short getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay & we had a great experience. The owner was very warm & welcoming, he was always there if we needed anything & ensured the Hot tub was cleaned during the course of our stay. I would highly recommend the Bank Top Farm if you're looking for a weekend stay.

This den is what I was looking for and boy do this deliver.

The owner who was a genuine guy greeted us on arrival and kindly showed us around. He also went out of his way and brought us a bottle of bubbly as it was our anniversary. He mentioned what was around from site seeing to dinning. I would highly recommend this little get away. The setting the view the fine detail the owner has put in to his den made it feel like home. Also forget to mention the HOT TUB. it was beautiful

Absolutely beautiful property, immaculate and brilliantly presented.

They have made the best of the space available. Property isn't huge but well laid out and h

The den was such a perfect getaway for me and my partner on our anniversary weekend.

There’s everything you need there and the town is a short 20 minute drive. Karl was welcoming and friendly! The flowers and bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch and perfect to sip while in the hot tub. Overall I would definitely recommend if you want to relax and or go on adventures in the countryside.

We was met by Karl on arrival who showed us round.

We got complimentary flowers, prosecco and milk which was a nice touch. The Den is in a great location and the scenery is beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable and a great size. The hot tub was great to for a nice relaxing evening after hiking all day. It had everything we needed and would definitely like to visit in the future. Thankyou.

From beginning to end nothing was to much trouble.

All the facilities were there, cooking, hot tub etc all for a relaxing stay. With friendly owners who assisted in any matter if required. Will definitely re-visit. Would recommend to anyone.

We absolutely loved the entire experience we had at your home.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the scents of fresh flowers filled the whole serene environment.

Really lovely hosts whom I believe would go above and beyond to make their guests stay perfect.

The Den was spotless and had everything you need and more. Just one negative point, the sofa was uncomfortable, with it being winter we did sit a while and watch a couple of films but had to watch them in the bed room (not ideal) because it was impossible to get comfy on the sofa. Also I did not find a large sweeping brush to be able to sweep up as I would usually do. The Den is perfect for a short break.

Me and my partner went to stay at the Den just before Xmas weekend.

We only booked the trip in the morning and Karl was very accommodating towards this. We reached there at 10.30pm and was worried how cold it would be. We were surprised to get there as the rooms were very warm and cosy and everything was spot on. The rooms were very clean and immaculate and Karl ensured we had everything for out stay. A milk gallon was in fridge with essentials like coffee, tea, sugar etc. All the facilities were amazing and the hot tub was simply the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed it soo much and have recommended to all friends and family. On Xmas Eve, we got a lovely gift from Karl to keep us going. Absolutely amazing place to stay and would definitely recommend the Den. Thank you Karl for being an amazing host ☺️

Booked ‘The Den’ last minute for a relaxing xmas getaway.

The property had everything we needed and very well stocked; upon arrival we met with the friendly host Carl of whom showed us around the property and ensured we had full knowledge of the utilities and how they should be used. Also provided was a complimentary bottle of prosecco which was enjoyed whilst we spent our evening in the hot tub and a small pint of milk. The property was very clean, nice and warm, which was a bonus due to the cold weather at the time. The bed was comfortable and a very decent size, which ensured we were able to have a lovely night sleep, the only downfall being the noise coming from the pipes in the bedroom which had a trio of tones during random times of the night and at times quite disturbing; however this can easily be amended . Overall we have had a lovely weekend and would definitely return to the property.

I honestly can't say enough nice things about the property and the owner.

The den is absolutely perfect, with everything you could need. And Karl couldn't do enough for us, he is such a brilliant host. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

We had a lovely few days stay at ‘The Den’.

A beautiful cosy cottage with all the necessities and the hot tub was such a lovely treat.The host Karl was so kind and helpful, and ensured we were happy and had everything we could need throughout our stay. We will definitely be booking again!

Really happy with our stay at The Den.

The hosts are extremely helpful, friendly & available. But also give you the peace you want. The place itself if lovely throughout. Beautifully decorated. Bed supper comfy. Id like to add there was all the little things you need for cooking thats you'd never remember or simply not want to travel with. Thats was extremely helpful

Spent the weekend here, a real peaceful and cosy lace, had a lovely time, and the host was fantastic, extremely helpful, would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely week, the host was very helpful and had great recommendations of what to do in the area.

It’s very private and peaceful, making it perfect for a romantic getaway.

We’ve just got back from an amazing weekend in the Peak District made even better by this stunning accommodation.

Karl is absolutely fab and nothing was too much hassle for him, the property was perfect for what we needed and had all the necessities. We will definitely be returning, we loved it so much! Thankyou so much Karl!

Honestly we never leave reviews but completely had to!

Me & partner are due to get married next week and we needed a well deserved rest after a busy few weeks, booked last minute. Prior to our arrival the communication from direct from the owners was seamless with an easy & personal check-in. The Den was perfect, clean, beautiful inside, the hot tub was all ready for us when we arrived, with some beautiful prefect touches. Beautiful Den, perfect location, amazing hospitality. Flawless, would highly recommend and will definitely revisit.

This is by far my favourite place I have ever stayed!

The host’s daughter came and greeted us on arrival and went through how to use the hot tub. She gave me her number so if we needed her we could get hold of her whenever. The Den itself was beautiful, it was super clean, bed was super comfy and the kitchen well equipped. The Den is beautifully decorated and the complimentary bubbly on arrival a lovely touch. The fresh milk in the fridge was a blessing! All in all an amazing place to stay, can’t wait to visit again next year

Our host Karl went above and beyond our expectations, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible and giving some great local suggestions!

Perfect property for an intimate getaway.

Perfect base for exploring Derbyshire and in Carl you couldn't get a better host.

We received a very friendly and warm welcome from Karl, the owner of The Den.

The Prosecco and flowers were a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed. Lovely private decked area, with hot tub and gas barbecue. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely be returning. Keith & Carole.

Had a lovely time at the den, had everything we needed.

Really enjoyed the hot tub and the views.

We had a lovely stay at The Den it was exactly what we were hoping for.

We were greeted with a bottle of bubbles and fresh flowers. Owner Karl was on hand if we needed anything thorough out our stay. Perfect location with beautiful scenery. Overall, had a relaxing break and would definitely recommend a stay at The Den.

The cottage was very comfy and the host very attentive and helpful.

For people with some limitation to their mobility they may find the bathroom on the small side, especially the sink.

Soon as we got to the property, the owner Karl was really hospitable and made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us some great advice about the area.

Everything was really clean and the Hot Tub at the back of the property was fantastic, even on the rainy days! Brilliant location just a short 10 minute drive to the southern part of the peak district and was able to get a ASDA delivery to the Den with ease. I will definitely be re-booking this fantastic property in the future!

We stayed for a weekend at the Den.

Its a beautiful lodge, has everything you could need. There was fresh flowers and prosecco on arrival what was a really lovely touch. We will be recommending the den to others. Thank you again

The Den provided excellent, high spec accommodation for a wonderfully relaxing break.

Karl, the host, linked in with us prior to and during our stay to make sure we were well looked after at all times.

Really enjoyed our two week stay at The Den.

Great location for exploring the Peak District The cottage was spotless, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The BBQ and hot tub area is a lovely sun trap. The hot tub much needed after a day of walking in the Peaks . Karl was a great host and made us feel very welcome and comfortable.

Lovely &clean, everything we needed.

Hot tub great! Flowers & Prosecco on arrival

We really enjoyed our stay, The Den was absolutely spotless and so cozy Everything that you could possibly need was at hand, The hot tub and bbq area just perfect And Karl could not have done anything more,lovely and friendly chap felt like we had known him forever after just five minutes, so looking forward to returning later in the year, Val and Trev,

Spent two relaxing nights in the wonderful Den.

We were only the second people to stay there. Karl, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Amazing stay!

We got over the disappointment of not being able to travel abroad for our honeymoon by booking the Den and it was the best decision we could have made! It was a beautiful romantic setting and our host Karl could not have made us feel more welcome and could not do enough for us! We will definitely coming back to stay again and we suggest you all do as well!

Owner Karl was very attentive, made to feel welcome and relaxed from arrival.

Beautiful location and a great place for a romantic break.
