  • "We had an absolutely fantastic time at the cottage."

    It’s beautiful. Everything we could possibly need and all to a high standard. The location is perfect too. If anything, the photos don’t do it justice, as a holiday home, it is stunning.

    Thank you so much! Your incredible feedback is really appreciated and we are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay. Do hope that you will come and visit us again. Property Owner

  • "The property exceeded our expectations, the fit and finish was much higher than we were expecting, and definitely much higher than other similar properties I have stayed at in the past."

    I briefly spoke to the owners and they were really friendly and accommodating and offered some suggestions for our stay and let us know they were around to help while we were staying in the property. The location is great for access to southern Peak District and was a great base for some nice walks. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property in future.

    Thank you so much for your lovely comments - so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Do hope that you will be able come and stay here again. Property Owner

    Great location - e.g. next to bus stop. One of the best that we have stayed in. Would like to return.

    Many thanks for your kind feedback, especially mentioning the bus service through the village that runs from Matlock to Ashbourne and must be one of the most scenic and relaxing journeys. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "We could not have asked for a better home away from home to enjoy our holiday in."

    Quite simply one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. We love the area, having strong links to neighbouring Hognaston but Hopton was a delightful village for our family of 4. Our young boys enjoyed all the space outside to play and the front, side and back gardens were a real highlight for us all to be able to enjoy the beautiful Peak District countryside. Thank you dearly for the warm welcome and a wonderful holiday! We certainly hope to return to see Ivet Lowe in all the glory of another season, but summer will certainly take some beating.

    Thank you so much for such lovely feedback on your stay and especially that your boys enjoyed making use of the garden. Really looking forward to seeing you again for another trip down 'Memory Lane'. Property Owner

    We were contested on the day of arrival by the owners to let us know we could check in early and arrived to fine a bottle of wine and box of chocolates to welcome us. The cottage was large enough for the 6 of us with 3 double rooms (one could be swapped for a twin of you contact to ask), 2 bathrooms and a large kitchen/diner/sitting room. The local area was beautiful, literally round the corner to Carsington Water and a short drive to The Height of Abraham and Peak Wlidlife Park, both of which are a must if you are in the area. A lovely cottage, in beautiful surroundings, what more could you ask for.

The cottage is very comfortable and spacious, the patio area was lovely to sit out on. The weather was not kind to us, unfortunately, but we did get a couple of chances to sit out. There is a fabulous pub in Carsington, The Miners Arms, the car park is at the back of the pub, the food was lovely, all fresh vegetables, no frozen veg. It is possible to walk to Carsington Water, although, due to the weather, we didn’t get round to it. The visitor Centre at Carsington Water, does really lovely food as well. There are lovely walks around the lakeside, we did a few of the shorter ones.

  • "Fantastic place to stay!"

    We were lucky enough to stay at Ivet Lowe as the flower beds were bursting with colour, a new view every day! We had amazing weather so spent much of the time in the garden enjoying the many different areas to relax, we were almost disappointed that we didn’t get the opportunity to make use of the already prepared fire. The whole property has been done to a very high standard and everything was provided that we could possible need. The location lends itself to exploring knowing that there’s a lovely pub, The Miners, within 10 minutes walk when you get back. (They also do an amazing Sunday roast). We went to celebrate a family birthday but would easily suit a family break or a relaxing getaway.

    As you walk into the property it is spacious, comfy and very well equipped. Everything is high end and tasteful. The downstairs is really well planned and everything flows from one room to another and upstairs the beds are super comfy. Everything has been thought through and there was nothing we could think of that would have enhanced our stay any more. We had a problem with one of the toilets and rang the owner who came over straight away and fixed it whilst we were out. He was very apologetic, things happen that are totally out of anyone’s control, but the measure of a person is how they deal with them and we couldn’t fault him. There’s a great pub just down the road that serves good food. All in all it was a great holiday in a fabulous cottage and we will certainly go back again.

We didn’t get chance to use the garden as the weather wasn’t great but it would be perfect for socialising outside with views of Carsington Water (when the trees aren’t in bloom).

    We arrived through snow, in the dark. We were worried about getting in, and being cold - no such problem, the house was very warm, as the owners had set the thermostat already. For a cottage in a small village it is well outfitted, with some absolutely ridiculous finish for a holiday cottage (eg the dining table is a custom 1 off made from the door of the cottage). Rooms are small, but would only be a problem if you were staying long term.. Kitchen well outfitted and complete, very good layout with the living space. Overall we were really pleased.

Wirksworth is a small, charming market town situated just a few miles from Matlock, on the edge of The Peak District. Wirksworth is full of character with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Independent shops sit alongside the deli, butchers and bakers with a strong local food ethic. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient “jitties” and courtyards of the Puzzle Gardens, along with the Heritage Centre and the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water, Black Rocks and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is fantastic walking all around.

There is also an annual Arts festival with an amazing Art & Architecture Trail in September, showcasing contemporary art and international performers of every kind. With an art deco independent cinema and a range of places to eat there is plenty to entertain. The town offers a leisure centre with a climbing wall and a small trainer swimming pool, The Eco Centre, The National Stone Centre and the Mount Cook Adventure Centre.
