“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful garden, with great access to the derbyshire peaks.”

Thanks for a great welcome!

Thanks for a great welcome!

- Mrs Lewis, October 2020
Ms Rix October 2020

“Lovely cottage in beautiful garden.”

Friendly welcome and good advice on walks. Only issue was heating system very loud in the bedroom at night. Also would be good to have an outside light at the back of the cottage so as to see the steps down to the hot tub at night.

- Ms Rix, October 2020
Mr Broughton August 2020

“All good. The owners of the cottage provided very comprehensive info for us on the area, which was really helpful.”

They also provided scones to have on arrival, much appreciated. We loved the large garden, as did Freddie the dog! A minor hassle is that there's only one loo, a distance down steep steps from bedroom, which we didn't mind but can imagine would inconvenience (no pun intended) others.

- Mr Broughton, August 2020
Ms Bates August 2020

“The owners were very welcoming and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do.”

The cottage had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the garden area. Overall a lovely place to stay.

- Ms Bates, August 2020
Mrs Rollinson August 2020

“A lovely cottage that is a real hidden gem.”

Amazing gardens and the perfect place to relax. A good location to enjoy nearby Chesterfield and Bakewell.

- Mrs Rollinson, August 2020
Mrs Thompson July 2020

“Excellent location for seeing the sights of Derbyshire.”

The cottage was situated in a lovely large garden and the hot tub was an added bonus after a day out. The cottage was well equipped, cosy and just right for a family of 3. There was underfloor heating and a log burner available which we didn’t need due to the time of year. The owners live in the house next door and were friendly and very helpful. They provided us with plenty of information about sights to see and do in the area and local eating places. Aldi and Tesco are close by. The Three Horse Shoes is a local pub worth a visit. Would definitely consider returning to Derbyshire and Gardeners Cottage.

- Mrs Thompson, July 2020
Miss Watson July 2020

“Gardener's Cottage is a little oasis!”

The cottage is lovely, very comfortable and well-equipped and the garden is beautiful! Very enjoyable and relaxing holiday, hosts were lovely. Would definitely go back.

- Miss Watson, July 2020
Miss Fisher January 2020

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay , working as nurses we barely get time to relax so this was very much needed.”

We loved the log fire !

- Miss Fisher, January 2020
Miss Mystkowska November 2019

“Absolutely stunning surroundings, the cottage is cosy and well equipped with anything you could possibly need.”

The bed is very comfortable, heated flooring in the bathroom and front room is a really nice touch, me and my partner had a very relaxing and enjoyable break.

- Miss Mystkowska, November 2019
Mrs Potton October 2019

“We loved our stay at the cottage, we brought along our 15 month old baby and he enjoyed it too.”

We all really liked the hot tub the and the log burner. We would love to go again and would highly recommend this cosy, quiet cottage.

- Mrs Potton, October 2019
Mrs Mccaffer October 2019

“We were very impressed with facilities and comfort at Gardener’s Cottage.”

We were welcomed warmly by Rob who showed us round the property and where to find the plethora of info about the cottage ( inc. how the cottage was restored with pictures ), leaflets about local restaurants, shops and places to visit. We highly recommend the Kathmandu restaurant run by an ex Gurka and features excellent Nepalese dishes. Rob kindly provided scones, jam & butter on our arrival and said to contact him if there were any problems. The cottage has a very relaxing feel to it. The cottage overlooks a large garden which is worth a walk round. Clay Cross is an excellent centre for exploring the surrounding area.

- Mrs Mccaffer, October 2019
Mrs Millward September 2019

“This was a lovey little cottage that was very well equipped!”

Very comfortable beds Hot tub was fab in beautiful surroundings Owner was extremely friendly and helpful The town is a couple of mins walk away and would defiantly recommend the Three Horseshoes Couple of minor criticisms There is a shower attachment with the bath but would have preferred a proper shower (didn’t stop us being able to have a bath or use the shower head) It rained almost constantly so the hot tub would benefit a over head cover Due to the rain (which obviously can’t be helped) there was a constant loud dripping from the guttering onto the bathroom roof Despite the small things above we would definatly return

- Mrs Millward, September 2019
Mrs Shephard September 2019

“What a beautiful cottage.”

Cosy, quiet, equipped with everything you could need and more. The gardens to the main house are just amazing and the owners allow you to have access to them. I will certainly miss the view every morning. Rob couldn’t have been more helpful, even going out of his way to collect some balloons I had ordered for my husbands birthday. Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again

- Mrs Shephard, September 2019
Mr Chapman September 2019

“We had a lovely 3 nights at Gardener’s Cottage (lovingly renovated by the owners who live on site, something we appreciate the work involved having done this recently ourselves).”

The cottage is warm and cosy and in keeping with the main house and the delightful gardens on site. The hot tub was lovely to sink into after full days walking and exploring the local area. The cottage is well equipped with plenty of local books/leaflets to plan your visit to the area. Plenty of local shops 2 minutes away and a Tesco Extra and Aldi too. Outstanding pub 2 minutes away - Three Horseshoes - food is amazing value and the service is excellent!

- Mr Chapman, September 2019
Mr Broad August 2019

“Been to the cottage over the last 3 years.”

It's amazing!

- Mr Broad, August 2019
Mrs Dobson July 2019

“The cottage was really quaint and set in the most beautiful gardens, the hosts were warm and welcoming and was met with fresh homemade scones on our arrival.”

The bedroom was a good size with a very comfy super king bed which you just sink into and slept like a log but the stairs were very steep and if you needed the loo during the night you had to have yours wits about you descending them. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could want and everything was spotless, a great size bathroom but would have liked to have seen a shower as well. The only downside to the cottage was that the lounge was small with really uncomfortable seating and had trouble relaxing as the tv was too small really. The hot tub was fab and enjoyed the heat after a couple of cool days out.

- Mrs Dobson, July 2019
Mr Hartley July 2019

“Owners were very friendly and welcoming.”

Property was clean apart from quite a few cobwebs on the stairs and in the hallway. Another TV in the bedroom would have been nice. Beautiful gardens in lovely area of the country.

- Mr Hartley, July 2019
Mr Macphail May 2019

“I cant recommend Gardiner's Cottage highly enough.”

A beautiful building in amazing settings with so much land attached. Great to have underfloor heating and every kitchen applicance we needed, including use of the outdoor bbq. The owners who lived in the house 'next door' were friendly and helpful throughout our visit and responded quickly to any queries we had. Our 2 dogs loved their playtime in the huge garden and we loved the hot tub! Lots of lovely villages to visit within a short drive. We especially like Carsington waters and Valleybrooke Country park. We visited Chatsworth but it was pretty crowded as the RHS Flower Show was on, but we managed a walk in Stand Woods in the grounds. Will definately return

- Mr Macphail, May 2019
Mrs Hewitson May 2019

“Both me and husband found this cottage very relaxing, hot tub was on all the time so we could enjoy it anytime we liked.”

we had lovely weather when we went to chesterfield. The owners were very welcoming and excellent hosts. would deffinatly go back.

- Mrs Hewitson, May 2019
Miss Robinson April 2019

“Amazing cottage ,facilities , private grounds were perfect for the dogs.”

The hot tub was a lovely extra. Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We had arrived slightly early to check in and they were fine with letting us in and showing us around. Luckily we had beautiful weather over the bank holiday weekend so we spent a lot of time sat in their garden enjoying the views. Very close to shops/ take aways/ pubs- recommend the Three Horse Shoes. Lots to do in the area, would definitely visit again... maybe when in Autumn to make the most of the log burner!

- Miss Robinson, April 2019
Ms Allnutt March 2019

“This place is a hidden gem, a beautiful character cottage set in the most wonderful gardens.”

The cottage is perfect for two plus dog with welcoming owners and fresh scones on arrival. The Hot tub is a must, we were fortunate enough to have the weather to use it morning and night to relax in after days spent in the beautiful countryside. The only note that I would make is the stairs could be quite narrow and steep if you have mobility issues.

- Ms Allnutt, March 2019
Mrs Spiller March 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

Helpful hosts . Highly recommend this

- Mrs Spiller, March 2019
Mrs Gray February 2019

“The cottage was beautiful.”

Everything we needed for a nice break away. I especially liked how the kitchen was stocked so we didn’t need to bring lots of extras as catering for a baby is tough enough! Hot tub was an added bonus and the gardens are stunning!

- Mrs Gray, February 2019
Mrs Lythgoe-Thomas December 2018

“Lovely cosy cottage for our Christmas break.”

There are shops, pubs, takeaways and a big Aldi within 5 minutes walk on the high street. Despite being so close to the busy high street it's still very quiet and feels remote once you're inside the cottage. The garden is beautiful and the hot tub is a lovely little extra. The bed is very comfortable and huge, plus the kitchen is well equipped. Only slight niggles are the bath - there is a shower attachment but no screen or curtain so you can't really use it, you can only run a bath every day which takes a while. And the sofa is quite small so you can't stretch out properly. But we'd still highly recommend it!

- Mrs Lythgoe-Thomas, December 2018
Mrs Eastick November 2018

“This cottage is the epitome of a “cosy cottage” with its underfloor heating, radiators and wood burner!”

It is set in stunning Victorian gardens with lovely views over open countryside from the bottom of the garden. It is conveniently located just off the towns high street and was literally two minutes walk from a convenience shop where my husband bought his daily newspaper. There is a also very large brand new Aldi supermarket with free parking within a few minutes walk. The cottage is very well equipped especially in the kitchen. The wooden staircase leading up to the king sized bedroom is very steep and very very creaky-no creeping into bed undetected late at night here! The owners are very quick to respond to requests for help, problems, etc, and are both very friendly and informative about the local area. The hot tub in the garden was gloriously hot and eased our aching muscles after walking up and down lots and lots of steps at the stately homes we visited! There was a plate of home made scones with pots of butter and jam left for us on our arrival which were delicious! The only negative for me, was that the bed was way too soft to be of any support to my bad back at all.

- Mrs Eastick, November 2018
LDandAS November 2018

“Outstanding”

This cottage is PERFECT. Absolutely stunning little place, on a an even better piece of beautiful land! Ideal for the Peak District as close to many places to go. Fully equipped and the nicest hosts! Had an absolutely lovely week away and would recommend to anyone.

- LDandAS, November 2018
Miss Davison November 2018

“Absolutely perfect little cottage.”

Lovely hosts. Lovely grounds. Brilliant location.

- Miss Davison, November 2018
Miss Mackley September 2018

“Lovely stay, the cottage was very cosy and the garden was beautiful.”

- Miss Mackley, September 2018
Mr McCarthy August 2018

“Lovely cottage, grounds wonderful we were made very welcome and will be coming again.”

One small request it could do with a more comfortable three piece suite

- Mr McCarthy, August 2018
Mrs Dacosta August 2018

“Gardeners cottage has the most beautiful garden with fantastic views.”

The cottage is very well presented with a warm homely feeling. The Kitchen is fully equipped; even for a full home cooked Sunday roast. Sandra and Rob are very welcoming allowing us full access to their beautiful garden. After spending the day on long walks, having the option of the hot tub was extremely nice. Perhaps the WiFi is a bit slow (especially when your teenage daughter comes equipped with gadgets) however, after a day of winding down and finally starting to appreciate the surroundings, the WiFi speed wasn’t immensely important. Clay Cross is a small ex mining village, and therefore it does not offer much going on in terms of landmarks. On the plus side, the property is both secluded (so you always have the feeling of privacy) but still about 2 minutes walking distance from the shops and takeaways. We spent the most wonderful week in the Gardeners cottage and if you are looking for a getaway from the frantic city life with close access to the heart of the Peak District, it is a great place to stay.

- Mrs Dacosta, August 2018
Mrs Zapalski July 2018

“We had a Lovely holiday in this cottage, we would highly recommend.”

- Mrs Zapalski, July 2018
Mrs Inkles June 2018

“A wonderful cottage on the edge of the Peak District.”

The cottage and amazing stunning gardens transports you back to Victorian times. Local facilities in Clay Cross are excellent. The owners are very hospitable. Thankyou once again for a lovely stay at your delightful cottage. See you again in September.

- Mrs Inkles, June 2018
Mrs Fulford May 2018

“This cottage had absolutely everything that we needed.”

Rob was a welcoming host, and the location was perfect for all of the day trips that we had planned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage, and would definitely stay here again.

- Mrs Fulford, May 2018
Mr Day March 2018

“Very comfortable cottage a little walk to the shops and pubs in Clay Cross.”

The kitchen is well equipped and plenty of room with table and chairs to have a meal. The cottage has lovely under floor tiles on ground floor which is great for cold mornings. The lounge is spacious with log fire. There is a hot tub in the garden for warm days. The owners are very welcoming and can give plenty of advice of where to go.

- Mr Day, March 2018
Miss Patman March 2018

“We had a nice week.”

The cottage is nicely decorated and the log burner is delightful. We were left scones on arrival which was a nice touch. There were a few bits we were not overly happy with. For example, we read on previous reviews that the WiFi can be weak. The WiFi works only if you are upstairs in the main bedroom. WiFi should not be advertised as the cottage does not have its own, the owners use a booster from their house and it is not powerful enough. The garden is really lovely and shared with the owner. It is large and well kept. Previous reviews said the garden is completely enclosed meaning safe for dogs. The garden is mostly enclosed but not fully, they can get through the side of the owners house. This was not advertised by the owner but reviews which were misleading. Considering the cottage is on the grounds of the owners house, it did feel like we had privacy. It’s just a shame that the cottage wasn’t as clean as we’d have expected. A nice place to stay and central to all of the places we wanted to go to which was good. Would definitely recommend visiting Dovedale which is about a 50 minute drive from the cottage.

- Miss Patman, March 2018
Mrs Inkles February 2018

“My Husband and I have booked this characterful cottage again, later in the year.”

The property is amazing, with superb enclosed walled gardens. The owners were very helpful without being invasive.

- Mrs Inkles, February 2018
Mrs Jones January 2018

“Really beautiful little cottage, just right for a girly weekend away.”

- Mrs Jones, January 2018
Mr KERRY December 2017

“Awesome cottage - definitely 9/10 Claw bath very pretty but a stand up shower is much preferred by most - more practical.”

Needs a WIFI extender or increase speed - again another must do by most in the practical world. Host was great.

- Mr KERRY, December 2017
Miss Charnley December 2017

“We had a lovely stay at Gardeners Cottage.”

The hosts were fab and gave us a great intro to the property and surrounding area. We loved the hot tub and facilities were great. The cottage was really cosy and perfect for a relaxing stay. Thanks.

- Miss Charnley, December 2017
Mr Millward November 2017

“A lovely cottage with everything in it you would need - excellent location in a small town so you cab get what you need without driving a long way but very close to all of the countryside and all that this part of Derbyshire has to offer.”

The owners of the cottage were lovely helpful people with lots of local knowledge. In particular, the gardens were gorgeous and the views from the cottage of it were beautiful. Thoroughly recommended especially if you have a dog(s).

- Mr Millward, November 2017
AngelaH2365 November 2017

“Great base for exploring”

We stayed in this lovely little cottage for a week with our 2 kids and dog. The rooms are very spacious, the log fire lovely to come back to after a chilly day walking. The kitchen had everything we needed. Location wise, clay cross isn't scenic but cottage is in an acre of garden, so you don't even notice you're a 5 minute walk from the main street. Locally there are some great takeaways too, especially the charcoal grill at the cross roads. The pizza is very good! The hottub was a great bonus, being hot all the time so you can chillout without planning! The owners were very nice about letting our dog run obout the garden off lead as well. As long as we picked up after her. Just outside the front door is a gated courtyard that was useful for letting her out for a late night pee as well. The only thing that bugged me was, even though there is a washing machine, there's nowhere to dry clothes.

- AngelaH2365, November 2017
Mr Simak August 2017

“Great location”

- Mr Simak, August 2017
Mrs Mccurdie July 2017

“Lovely cottage, well thought out.”

Ideal location for visiting nearby attractions. Beautiful 2 acres of walled garden so it was totally secure for our two dogs and the hot tub was amazing.

- Mrs Mccurdie, July 2017
Miss Ringrose March 2017

“Gardeners cottage was the ideal walking holiday base.”

Lovely warm cottage with everything you need. Amazing time spent and will book again. Dogs enjoyed the beautiful garden - safe for letting them play

- Miss Ringrose, March 2017
Miss Attenborough March 2017

“This is our second visit to Gardeners Cottage and yet again it surpassed our expectations and we loved every minute.”

- Miss Attenborough, March 2017
Mrs Hackett March 2017

“The cottage was lovely & very homely :) We loved the hot tub & the homemade scones left for us by the owners.”

Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Mrs Hackett, March 2017
Mr Coppack February 2017

“Really lovely and cosy cottage.”

Exceeded our expectations. Very well equipped - the owners have thought of everything. Would definitely recommend

- Mr Coppack, February 2017
Miss Smith February 2017

“Beautiful location, hot tub is a nice treat after a long walk!”

- Miss Smith, February 2017
Mr Wigfull December 2016

“A lovely cottage with everything you need to settle in straight away.”

- Mr Wigfull, December 2016
Mr Apps November 2016

“Gardeners Cottage is lovely.”

We were met by the very pleasant owner and welcomed with fresh scones. Our Dog was also more than welcome and very impressed with the log burner! The cottage itself is clean and well proportioned with all the conveniences you could need for a week away. We became very comfortable here very quickly! Most Peak District hotspots are 30-45mins away but this really does fall into insignificance when taking into account the quality of this cottage and the relative price. The local amenities are invaluable, especially the Tesco when self catering and you simply wouldn't get this further into the park. In short we could not recommend this cottage enough. We will almost certainly return!

- Mr Apps, November 2016
Mrs Jones October 2016

“Helpful but non invasive owners, good location to explore chatsworth estate”

- Mrs Jones, October 2016
Mrs Pons September 2016

“Lovely little cottage in a handy location for the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales.”

Our hosts were very helpful and kindly let us use their lovely oasis of a garden and hot tub. Would certainly consider staying again.

- Mrs Pons, September 2016
Mr Douthwaite September 2016

“Delightful owner's extensive garden available to us all the time with a spa bubble bath most enjoyable, always at the prescribe temperature (100F) Fitted with all the appliances required and the roll top bath supplied with constant hot water all we needed after a walk in the surrounding public park The stairs a bit creaky especial at night needs a few more screws?”

Regards Cliff and Eve

- Mr Douthwaite, September 2016
Miss Malviya August 2016

“A fantastic holiday cottage, very well located for us to be able to get around Derbyshire.”

Could do with a blind or blackout curtain in the bedroom, as next doors light is on all night long, could have a booster for the WiFi. Otherwise the perfect place to get away, the owners were so helpful and lovely.

- Miss Malviya, August 2016
Mrs Sharp July 2016

“In beautiful countryside, and within numerous sites of interest, Gardener's Cottage proved to be the ideal base and location.”

Sitting in the hot tub sipping a glass of wine one evening was very pleasant! I wouldn't hesitate to re-book the property, and felt quite sad on leaving - a sign of a good holiday!

- Mrs Sharp, July 2016
Mrs Ripley July 2016

“Excellent location for main attractions.”

Beautiful cottage that has been lovingly restored, walled garden is superb, the photographs didn't do it justice. The owner was friendly and happy to offer advice.

- Mrs Ripley, July 2016
Mr Pagan May 2016

“Gardener's Cottage was really nice and we would recommend to anyone to stay there.”

The owners were always only a phone call away and the cottage had everything you could need to make sure your stay was hassle free.

- Mr Pagan, May 2016
Mr Wade March 2016

“A fantastic accommodation that is close to the countryside, but also close enough to be able to walk to shops, pubs and restaurants/takeaways.”

The fabulous fully walled garden is great for dogs. All in all, a really great retreat.

- Mr Wade, March 2016
Miss Attenborough January 2016

“Gardener's Cottage is a perfect getaway.”

I stayed here with my two best friends and we had a wonderful time. The cottage itself is beautiful and has a lovely wood burner and a hot tub to use. It is easy to get to via the M1 and acted as a great base to explore the local area. We visited Dovedale near Ashbourne and Bakewell, both are a must if you stay here.

- Miss Attenborough, January 2016
Ms Ross January 2016

“The cottage was beautiful, along with the gardens and hot tub!”

Now that was fantastic in the cold frosty evenings, we made the most of this delightful cottage. If you're looking for somewhere beautiful, peaceful, dog friendly and close to lovely walks and interesting places to see then its "Gardener's Cottage."

- Ms Ross, January 2016
Mr Haswell January 2016

“We had a very nice weekend together.”

The owner was friendly and showed us around. The hot tub was also fantastic.

- Mr Haswell, January 2016
Mrs Devine December 2015

The property

Chesterfield 5 miles.

Gardener's Cottage sits peacefully within the grounds of Alma House, a large, Victorian gentleman's residence in Clay Cross, dating back to 1875.

Set in two acres of delightful walled gardens on the edge of the White Peaks of the Peak District near Chesterfield, this detached cottage is an ideal touring base.

The cottage enjoys lovely views across the hills and wooded valleys of the Derbyshire countryside, yet is only half a mile from local facilities, making it the perfect choice for a break in this wonderful region.

The cottage has been extended and sympathetically refurbished, and successfully blends traditional character with 21st century living.

The AGA Wenlock multi-fuel stove makes the sitting room a cosy, welcoming retreat after a day exploring this beautiful county, and an indulgent soak in the roll-top bath will be greatly appreciated after a day's walking in the National Park.

Enjoy relaxing on your private patio, or indulge yourself in the fabulous hot tub in the owner’s garden.

Chatsworth House, Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall and the Heights of Abraham are just a selection of the many attractions within a 10-mile drive of the cottage.

Bakewell is the ancient capital of the Peak, just under a half an hour drive away and famous for its puddings!

The iconic Chatsworth House estate, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, is highly recommended for a day out with a difference.

You can admire the splendour of this magnificent building, enjoy afternoon tea, stroll around the garden and choose from an assortment of local delicacies from the award-winning Estate Farm Shop.

With so much to do nearby, Gardener’s Cottage is wonderful for couples and small families escaping to the country!

About the location

CLAY CROSS

Chesterfield 5 miles; Matlock 7 miles.

Clay Cross is a small town on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The town is home to a varied range of shops, pubs and excellent restaurants. Just a few miles away is the historic market town of Chesterfield which acts as the gateway to the Peak District, and has much to offer visitors. The town is famous for its 14th Century church with "Crooked Spire", twisting curiously from its true centre, while the frequent bustling market days are ideal for exploring the many different specialist shops and stalls which line the old Market Hall and charming Shambles beyond. The town also boasts Queens Park, with its boating lake, walks and summer bandstand, as well as a museum and theatre. Nearby, the Elizabethan Hardwick Hall is still impressive today, with its 6 grand towers elaborately monogramed with Bess of Hardwick’s initials, overlooking the superb gardens and walled courtyards of the grounds. Also popular is the semi-ruined 17th Century mansion of Bolsover Castle, set high on a wooded hilltop, looking west towards the heights of the Peak District. The area has a host of other attractions within easy reach, such as Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, the amenities of Matlock and Bakewell, or the Opera House at Buxton. An interesting base for a varied break.
