Chevinside Cottage

Beautiful cottage and beautiful views Good communication with the owners Cottage is well equipped Cottage is in a good position,about 20-30 mins from main attractions and towns

Need comfort chairs to sit outside.

Need different bins for recycling. Should not put out towels that are marked, even though they are clean.

The property was just as described on the website.

Beautiful cottage set in wonderful surroundings. Clean, tidy and very comfortable with all you need for an enjoyable stay.

We had a pleasant week at chevinside cottage, It was nice and warm as soon as we arrived the beds were very comfortable and everything was there that you need, The only thing I noticed was the front door as you walk into the cottage needed some attention

This was our second time of staying at chevinside cottage and we absolutely loved it.

The countryside is amazing and it's so peaceful. Waking up most days to the cows and the sheep in the fields next to the cottage always made our day. Hope to return soon.

Good location for days out around Belper.

Just needs a bit of tender loving care.

Warm & comfy cottage, garden ideal for dog, short drive to belper which has nice shops.

Beautiful night sky .

A lovely hillside cottage with great views down the valley.

It's warm and cosy with everything that you need. The owners are very friendly, lovely people who welcome you on your arrival. The garden was perfect for our dog with plenty of room to play and relax. There are many walks directly from the cottage so no need to drive anywhere if you don't want to. Belper, an attractive and busy very old market town is close by for provisions and definitely worth a visit. The only personal criticism was that the main bed was a little too soft for me but that's it. We had a nice relaxing time and will book again in the future. Paula & Co Xx

We had a wonderful week staying here, lovely cottage so peaceful, very clean, had everything you needed, lovely veiws over belper, and the owners were such fantastic people, looking forward to returning next year .

We had a lovely, peaceful time at Chevinside.

However, we felt that the differing floor levels and steps should be mentioned in the property details as this would affect those with mobility issues.The kitchen area was really good but some of the furnishings and light fittings elsewhere were a bit tired. Look out for the field full of pheasants behind the cottage and bats at dusk.

This was just the cottage we have been looking for for a long time, peace and quiet and cows by the fence almost every day, absolutely gorgeous and hope to come back soon

The property was not very clean.

Kitchen and bathroom had not been cleaned from previous customers (faeces on toilet seat, crumbs on worktop). Sheets did not smell fresh. We spent as little time there as possible

Chevinside is a charming traditional cosy farm cottage, well maintained and clean, with great views up and down the amber valley.

The track up is a little rough and the doors a little low, but we were very comfortable. Also, a big thank you to the owners for helping return my daughters coat. I recommend.

What a relaxing stay with tons of things to do in the Derbyshire areas , good food restaurants and pubs near by .

Fantastic hosts and all amenities good condition , it was just great to be staying in a country environment, with cows , squirrels, lots of bird life and quiet, we would not hesitate for a second to return book

The cottage was in an idyllic location, the views were amazing and the cottage looked stunning.

It was well equipped and had everything we needed. The thing that spoilt it for us was the really strong “wet dog” smell in the lounge and hallway. We have owned dogs ourselves so are not adverse to dogs at all but we could not sit in the lounge due to the strong smell (air fresheners, febreeze and open windows made no difference). I think the cottage would be faultless if the carpet was replaced with flooring that could be mopped clean. We would definitely go back if that was the case.

The cottage is in the perfect place unfortunately there were a few issues the front door was in very poor repair there was no working shower as this had failed the electrical test.

The floors were quite dirty and the carpets were stained very badly but as I said the passion of the cottage is good just requires some tender loving care l don’t like giving bad revues.

A cosy and private cottage.

We were greeted by the owners who were a lovely couple who then left us alone for the holiday duration but were easily contacted if needed. The cottage itself is well equipped and had everything we needed. Access is via a fairly narrow, steep drive but has parking for a couple of cars at the top. The cottage has views over Belper and is surrounded by farmland. We had a very pleasant stay.

The property was a good size for us (2 adults and 2 small children), but wouldn't have taken anyone else.

Which equally we didn't need it to take any further people. The beds were comfortable but the sheets, although very clean smelt of smoke. As did the towels. It was lovely weather so I left the towels to blow dry for a while. The kitchen was easy to cook in and completely functionally. The location was excellent and the seating area outside was a real sun trap. The grass outside was wonderful for the kids to play on and we loved being so near the cows in the field.

It was lovely the cottage we had a fantastic week

A lovely place to stay.

Great if you enjoy walking

Lovely, clean, cosy and warm cottage,set in beautiful rolling countryside.

Lots of walks on the doorstep, some easy, others a bit more challenging.. An easy stroll into the town down the river and over the footbridge. The cottage has a decent front garden, plenty big enough for ours dog to stretch his legs in the morning ahead of his big walk! There's an open fire in the lounge if needed with plenty of fuel.. we found we didn't need it as it was plenty warm enough, especially once the sun came out. The owners are lovely. They just leave you to it, which is nice, but I imagine would be more than helpful if you had any issues (which we didnt).. All in all this is up there with one of the best places we have stayed..

We loved our stay and the cottage was so comfy.

It is very peaceful and has fabulous walks right on its doorstep. The owner who lives close by is a lovely friendly chap. If you want a chilled out stay in beautiful surroundings book this cottage We are so glad we did and hope to return very soon. Thank you

As always a really enjoyable stay and we thank you for your beautiful cottage.

Thanks again and hope to see you in the future

Lovely cottage; comfortable, clean, warm and homely.

It was great for being close to town but you wouldn't know it as you looked out over the farm; and we loved the farm animals being so close. Spent our days out exploring and evenings in front of the fire what more could we ask for.

Generally clean and tidy, more than adequate for 2 adults and dog.

Lots of spare linen etc.

The property owner was really nice guy who made himself known on first day but not intrusive.

. children thoroughly enjoyed the animals which greeted us most mornings. A really nice quirky cottage in a good location for visiting many tourist attractions. Nice walks along footpaths to Belper and pubs/restaurants. Only criticism is lacked Information as to where shower isolating switch is ,This would have been handy , also as to position of mains switches.

Stayed here on numerous occasions and without a doubt the best there is!

Fantastic location and Jean and Michael are just wonderful people - the best break we could ever wish for! We'll be back!

Another lovely stay, a really idyllic cottage, has everything you need.

Very clean and comfy. Really beautiful scenery enhanced by decent weather. Greeted by the Owners had a really nice chat. Thank you for a lovely stay. Highly recommend

A lovely cottage to stay in.

Very peaceful, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you! Anita

A fantastic lcottage it was perfect for our stay and will definitely be back!

Our second stay at Chevinside cottage.

A lovely peaceful place to stay. We enjoyed sitting out in the afternoons and watching the horses and other farm animals. A very enjoyable week and the owners are lovely and gave us a lovely welcome.

It was a lovely well equipped cottage we had a great stay

A wonderful cottage so cosy and peaceful, great scenery a totally relaxing place to stay throughly recommend 10/10

Lovely cottage, with great owners.

Perfect location for peace and quiet yet close enough for a wander into town. Great views and lovely and cosy cottage.

lovely location on a quiet country lane but also convenient for local facilities.

Nice stiff walk to local pub! Gentle riverside amble into town.

The owners were friendly and welcoming, at the end of a phone if needed and we had a lovely and peaceful stay.

Cottage was warm and had everything we needed. Would definitely book again or recommend.

We had a lovely week at Chevinsode cottage.

The views around the cottage were idyllic and although the owner lives next door it doesn't feel like your been over looked as at other places I've stayed and my daughter loved the horses in the field adjacent. The owners were friendly and helpful but not in any way intrusive and we were left mostly alone to enjoy our stay. The cottage was very cold when we arrived but I think this was more down to the cottage being empty for a few days prior to our arrival and the very cold weather at the time and It took a couple of days to get it warm again and then it was fine and there was plenty on wood for the fire to keep us going. The cottage was clean and we enjoyed sitting in the lounge with the fire going in the dark evenings

Really nice cottage in picturesque location.

Friendly owners

It’s a lovely cottage with lots of character.

The kids had a great time. The owners are friendly people who spoke to us a few times whilst there to make sure everything was ok. There is lots to do within a reasonable distance and lots of shops local for getting the essentials. A great back would go back in the future.

Pretty cottage.

Owners very friendly. Steep track up to it. Cows looking through the back window made us laugh.

The weather was fantastic, the cottage was comfortable, the hosts were lovely and the scenery was breath taking.

Need I say more?

It was so quiet.

...just what we were looking for. The cottage is charming, comfortable and had everything we needed. Having a log fire was a highlight in the evenings.....and sitting outside looking at the view was the highlight of the mornings!

perfect cottage, met all of our needs

Che inside is a fantastic cottage, beautifully presented .

The owners were very friendly and helpful. All our needs were catered for making it a brilliant holiday

Lovely cottage in wonderful location and the owners were on hand to help in any way whatsoever.

It was what we were looking for - a secluded quaint little cottage surrounded by greenery !

!

Your booking system was easy and the cottage was warm and comfortable, the owners, at the farm, were extremely accomodating and told us where to go, for picturesque walks, especially 'That footpath' heading up, the side of the Dale, to the 'Blue Bell Inn' also the circular walk along the River Derwent and back down the lane from 'Black Brook', was helpful during this time of semi isolation.

One little tiny thing that may have been usefull is a 'House book' giving details - locations of Doctors - Dentist - Vets - local take aways etc.

A welcome pack would have been nice.

Ie milk, tea bags etc, just so that we could of at least made a drink after a long journey. We had to literally unpack the car and go in search of the nearest supermarket. Not a good experience when it's its dark and you arn t familer with the area.

We spent a wonderfully relaxing week at the cottage which was very warm, cosy and comfortable.

Lots of walks for the dog and many places of interest to visit. Jean, the owner, was very welcoming and we felt very much at home.

Lovely owners, setting and cottage will definitely go back thank you.

The cottage was beautifully situated - the photos don't do justice to the gorgeous views, and the lovely garden.

The owners could not have been more helpful and welcoming - even fixing a parasol for us to have some shade during the hot bank holiday weekend! It was an absolute pleasure to meet them, and they were so kind with their help and suggestions for how to enjoy ourselves as much as possible - not to mention allowing us to help ourselves to the apples, blackberries and damsons in the garden! The cottage was really well equipped, with great kitchen equipment - we found all the equipment we needed and more (even baking equipment, measuring scales, teaspoon measures!) - the table was a good size for the cottage, and we liked the cosiness of the interior. Many a happy evening spent reading or playing board games and enjoying the peace. The location was ideal for exploring both the Derwent Valley and the Peak District National Park, and we had a fantastic time - particularly recommend Crich Tramway Village! One small piece of (hopefully constructive!) feedback: the beds are all quite uncomfortable. The mattresses are not very thick and if you're not as light as a feather, you can feel the base of the bed through the mattress. Perhaps time to consider replacing? Other than that, it was a wonderfully quiet, relaxing and restorative holiday. Thank you.

A very peaceful location to stay.

Our boys really enjoyed being so close to the farm with the cows practically looking in the window. We would certainly be back at some point in the future.

We had a very nice week here and would go again.

If your looking for peace and quiet with a lovely view plus a helpful owner then this is the cottage for you.

Just what we expected, a cottage in the countryside on a farm, a fabulous outlook, a very pretty garden, no neighbours apart from the cows, however the owners were not far away if needed.

Mrs Jordan is very welcoming and friendly. Not far to the local amenities, more or less on doorstep, a short 10 minute,if that, drive to Belper which can be seen from the cottage. There are steps throughout the cottage, which made it very quirky, even a small step down into the master bedroom. Although some of the decor is tired, we had a lovely stay, and it was a good central point to visit local attractions. The track up to the cottage is steep, however, we had a small car and had no trouble at all. Walking the short distance from the car to the front door is also steep (but well maintained), we were fine, but some might find it difficult to carry anything heavy. Please don’t let that put you off, it is very minor indeed and really, the photo of the cottage does show this.

Chevinside cottage is absolutely beautiful if you want to get away from it all.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. My mother in law and I stayed there this weekend and had a brilliant time. The farm animals were great to watch, the weather was brilliant (which helps but can't be relied upon). I imagine it would be equally beautiful covered in snow. There is a Morrisons within walking distance (quite a good walk, not a few minutes). If you've got a car you can visit many of the surrounding areas but if you're without a car you're pretty stuck but that is exactly what we wanted. We couldn't fault it, absolutely beautiful. We would love to go again.

Beautiful location but is on a farm so have to expect animal noises and smells which we were fine with.

Interior of cottage tired but comfortable and this I think is reflected in the price . We had a lovely short break and would rebook this property

visitingi family in the area just right for a central point

Cottage very well presented, very comfortable

The cottage was warm and cosy with the open fire and the owners made us feel welcome and the views from the cottage were lovely All in all it was just what we wanted peace and quiet and away from the rat race

The cottage was very nice and well placed in beautiful peaceful countryside, near to Bakewell, Matlock and surrounding areas.

Everything was provided for and the owners, Mr & Mrs Jordan were both very welcoming. We would definitely recommend it and hope to visit again.

Warm and comfortable house - very homely .

Lovely garden with superb view over the fields and looking down on Belper. Owners on hand if any problems - very friendly and helpful .

The cottage is in an idyllic place on the side of a hill in the middle of farmland.

. The view from every window is lovely, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. You do need good walking boots though but we are used to that having two dogs. The track up to the cottage is quite steep and a litle bumpy but worth it. Mrs Jorden is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The eggs were great too.

The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and the location was idyllic.

A truly stunning cottage in a beautiful location.

Everything seemed to have been thought of to make it a real home from home. There is lots to do in and around the local area. We didn't want to leave and will certainly be returning in the future!

Very happy with the cottage and it’s facilities, would definitely use again.

Peacefully sited cottage, helpful contact with owners, close to Peak District, very enjoyable stay

A very enjoyable holiday.

The cottage is very comfortable and warm and has all that you need . The garden is a delight and we were very lucky to have good weather to be able to enjoy the outside space and views.

We had a wonderful time in our holiday cottage .

The setting was beautiful. The cottage was fully equipped with everything . Plenty of logs left for the fire . A 5 minute drive to all the shops, cafes and supermarkets. Lots of lovely country walks withing 5 minutes walk from the cottage yet you felt very rural it was perfect for us. The owners were lovely and very helpful. We even had a tour of their farm and saw some baby lambs and calfs . We will definitely book this cottage again

We arrived early but the Owners were very accommodating.

Lovely cottage with character. We went in winter and were glad of the real fire. Dog friendly and handy for walks and pubs. We enjoyed our stay at Chevinside.

This was a lovely cottage in a stunning location.

The cottage had everything you could need and the owners were lovely and friendly. We had a fantastic week here and would definitely go back.

It would have been helpful for the description included reference to low door ways, internel steps and uneven floors.

The owners were very helpful and brought extra coal when we ran out.

The cottage was perfect.

Just what we hoped for. Cosy, clean and quiet. Would absolutely go back!

Lovely, well stocked cottage with a friendly and helpful owner who was nearby but didn't intrude.

The dog and I had a great weekend & I will be rebooking next year

the cottage was exactly as listed .

your services were 10 out of 10 .if i had one comment it would have been useful to have had a guest book to suggest places of interest places to eat etc

To wake up in the morning and see cows in the next field marvellous
