Thanks Sue for a fab stay!

“Lovely cozy cottage.”

Small but all there you needed. Am loads to do in the area. Owners next door if you needed advice or information.. Had a brill week going around. But then you have to go home!!

- Mr Bampton, August 2018
“This cottage is ideal for two people who are looking for a comfortable break and it is really well priced considering the location.”

It's ideally situated for exploring and benefits from having two pubs within a few minutes walk. Thoroughly recommended and a credit to the owners!

- Mr Nicolopulo, August 2018
“The description of the cottage and its location was spot on.”

Very good value for money. Will definitely be using the site again and have already recommended friends to have a look. Brassington the village we stayed in in Derbyshire had two nice pubs within walking distance. The visitor attraction within a few miles such as chatsworth, Matlock and Ashbourne all within easy reach. Had a really good holiday.

“Sue, the landlady was a perfect host &was always helpful.”

Location was perfect for us & ideal for walking. Cottage was small but had all we needed. Would return no doubt.

- Mr Ottley, May 2018
“Amazing cottage , beautiful views and close to lots of walks and pubs.”

Clean and well looked after cottage with all the stuff you needed included.

- Mrs Throssell, April 2018
“We had a fantastic stay at Ramblers Rest and would highly recommend it.”

The host is so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. It was nice and warm (we had snow during our visit), and although we knew it would be cosy, we weren't expecting it to be so well-equipped - we enjoy cooking and, without having brought any kitchen equipment of our own, we were able to make everything we wanted to. The cottage is a great base for long walks from the doorstep, or for trips to Bakewell, Chatsworth etc. There are two pubs within walking distance that serve food. We will be back!

- Dr Saunders, March 2018
“The accommodation was very comfortable and cosy.”

The owner was very helpful and friendly. The local pub, The Miners Arms, was very friendly and served good pub food. We would love to visit again as it is a good base to explore the surrounding area. Thanks for another lovely holiday!

- Mrs Bottomley, September 2017
“The two of us were looking for a nice place to come back to and relax after exploring the various attractions around the Peak District National Park.”

Ramblers Rest fitted the bill perfectly, proving to be a really cosey cottage to unwind in. The facilities were brilliant, clean and it was nice to walk into a fridge with milk and a cupboard with tea bags and sugar. Thank you to the owners Sue and William for that! Overall, 10/10!

- Mr Ball, August 2017
“Very central location for sight-seeing.”

Village people were friendly. Great food in the Miners Arms.

- Mrs Thompson, July 2017
“Sue and Will the owners of the cottage were just lovely.”

Cottage had all the equipment you need. Home from home. Brazing ton quite central with 2pubs within 100yds with good food. Today a lovely touch, home made scones left by front door. Thank you for a lovely stay. Shame the weather wasn't so good.

- Mrs Kyle, June 2017
“Excellent location in a lovely friendly village.”

Owners very welcoming.

- Dr Catt, May 2017
“My wife and I have had a wonderful time there.”

Everything was almost perfect, even the weather, not too cold so we do not need to ware heavy thick clothes; not too wet we have had quite some sunshine, and also not too windy. For the late autumn season it was indeed much better than average. The cottage is warm and cozy, and it has got everything you possibly need for the week. The landlord, Sue and Will, are very friendly and tried their best to make our break enjoyable. The area is so beautiful and so many interesting places to go in one week. We were walking around 5 times, covering 6 ~ 8 miles each, enjoying the views, the cows, sheeps, the horses, you name it. The good memories will stay with us forever.

- Dr Long, November 2016
“Ideal for peace and quiet”

Cosily warm; very well-equipped; extremely warm welcome from owner. I wanted a week out in peace and quiet and very much enjoyed the week. Especially appreciated walking in the countryside without needing to use a car, and the very thoughtful information about walking routes which Sue had organised in the cottage - photocopies of maps with routes already highlighted. Brilliant! There's a small vending machine in the pub across the road where you can but basics like bread and milk 24/7.

“excellent location”

Lovely cottage and great location for exploring the Peak District,the landlady was lovely and friendly,however the neighbours in the attached cottage were very unfriendly and rude as were the landlords in the two local pubs.also no phone reception or wi-fi - would recommend though.

- lesteam, May 2015
“Perfect”

Thisis a delightful cottage in a beautiful little village. It was a perfect base to visit Dovedale, Bakewell, Tissington, Matlock etc. There is a breathtaking walkfromthe back of the cottage to Carsington Water. Upon our arrival there was milk, tea, coffee and even some biscuits which were most welcome after our journey. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

“Great little hideaway”

We had a lovely weekend in Brassington, nice walks and a picturesque village - great little cottage, very compact but with everything we needed. Our weather wasn't always great but we had a good afternoon curled up with cake, hot chocolate and a few DVDs and played chess in the pub in the evening.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
“Great cottage, suprisingly spacious”

We stayed for a week and the owners were very helpful but sufficiently hands off, so we didn't see them all the time, but they were there when we needed them. Ideally located in a beautiful little village with good road connections. Walks available right from the door (it's a nice walk to Carsington). Kitchen was very well equipped and quite spacious, we took things we didn't really need. Bathroom was also quite big- shower was very roomy. Bed was comfy (always a plus) and there were plenty of DVDs and videos to keep us occupied in the evening after a visit to one of the local pubs. Lots of things to do and see in the local area; some cheap, some pricey (something for everyone). A lovely romantic getaway and would recommend to family and friends.

“Delightful cottage in lovely village”

We enjoyed our stay in Rambler's rest. The property is comfortable and manages to be both compact and spacious with a beautiful view across the hillside. The village has many walks and two excellent pubs serving good food, which makes the property particularly suitable for short breaks.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, January 2013
“The perfect cosy, romantic getaway”

This cottage wasn't big but it was charming, had everything you needed, lovely views and was clean and well decorated. The owner was very friendly and helpful. An ideal base for exploring the peak district and excellent value. The village itself has a pub called the Gates which does excellent food at reasonable prices too. Have already recommended it to parents and friends!
