“Robin Cottage is the most dog friendly cottage that we have stayed in.”

Lovely enclosed garden so no worries about our dog escaping. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this is by far the best one we have stayed in. When we entered the cottage we could see that it had been cleaned to a very high standard which was very reassuring in the present COVID time. A very stocked welcome basket for us and our dog which was very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend Robin Cottage and we will certainly be returning. Thank you to Judi and her team for making it the best holiday cottage.

“The detail the owners went to make our holiday comfortable and safe was over and above expectations This was a cosy, clean and welcoming cottage with a faultless book of instructions/advice.”

We found the property well positioned for places like Bakewell, Matlock and of course Chatsworth, just minutes away. it was not difficult to venture further afield to places like Eyam, Froggatt and Hathersage. The pre-visit phone call was very well received.

“Another lovely stay at Robin cottage.”

Great location with easy access to Matlock, Bakewell and surrounding areas. Nice to be up in the summer and see the gorgeous scenery. Cottage clean and comfortable as always and very dog friendly. Thanks again Judi, we will be back soon!

“1st class accommodation and would highly recommend.”

Every little detail had been thought about to ensure our stay was very comfortable. Plenty of information provided both about the cottage and the area. It was a pleasure to stay at Robin Cottage and a big thank-you to Judi and her team.

“This was our second year at Robin Cottage.”

Its very clean and well equipped with everything you could need! We were welcomed with a lovely basket of goodies for both us and our dogs, Judi really has thought of everything! With a lovely enclosed garden, just the thing for dog owners - knowing you can safely let your dogs out for some air when needed. The cottage is well situated with Matlock, Bakewell, and the beautiful Chatsworth house all a short drive away. Also well situated for walks in the peaks should you wish with Edale and Stannage edge within a reasonable drive away. Darley Dale Fish Bar and the Shalimar Indian restaurant are both highly recommended! We will be booking again for next year at Robin Cottage for sure!

“We had a lovely stay at Robin Cottage in the first week of July when lockdown was eased.”

The cottage is beautiful and contains everything you would need for a much needed relaxing break. I always like to rate places on their bathroom (I’m a sucker for a long bath, often turning into a prune), and the bathroom was beautiful! Judi and Stuart were great and on hand if needed, even giving recommendations for where we could go out for dinner, and phoning up one of the restaurants to check for availability. We didn’t go out due to the current times, however there is plenty of local pubs that we passed on our travels. There was plenty of facilities in the kitchen to allow us to cook some yummy meals, including steak we bought in the butchers in Matlock on my birthday! We went to a couple of the local markets that were recommended and done some of the local ‘doggy’ walks around the beautiful countryside. Thank you so much Judi, Stuart and team for allowing us to stay in your cottage! I know you’ve had to make the hard decision to open one week, wait the three days until you can go in to deep clean, then open the following week, but I definitely think this is the right decision to protect everyone. Take care, and stay safe!

“Robin Cottage in Darley Dale is in a very good location to explore the southern Peak District without too much driving.”

In just one week we were able to walk the length of the Cromford Canal and look at the industrial heritage of the Derwent Valley world heritage site, the Monsal Trail and Dovedale. If you are into steam trains then there is one on your doorstep. Haddon Hall and Chatsworth are close by, although the latter was closed at the time of year we visited. Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock Bath were all worth visiting.

“All though we picked the worst week end of the year to go away (storm ciara) it was a lovely warm cottage to go back to after being soaked to the skin in the wind and rain.”

We made most of the excellent facilities, hot shower and a cosy evening in by fire. Tea and scones from the basket that Judy left for us. We would recommend this old railmans cottage to anyone. Will be going back again.

“We had a lovely stay at Robin cottage, on arrival the cottage was warm and welcoming and judi had left us lots of lovely goodies and not just for us but for the dogs as well.”

Our dogs always come on holidays with us and Robin cottage was ideal, a nice porch you can wipe their feet and dry them off , an enclosed garden you can let them out for a wee at night. The cottage is really cosy with the log burner and very comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay and it's in an ideal location for visiting all the lovely places around the Peak district. We would love to go back again in the better weather. Many thanks to Judie and her team, keep up the great work.

“We had a lovely holiday in Robin Cottage, Darley Dale.”

We were amazed that there was no traffic noise, as it is on a busy road, but the Triple glazing worked very well and also meant that the cottage was beautifully warm. The welcome when we arrived was exceptional. Very warm, lights on, soft music playing and lovely Christmas decorations. Also a welcoming hamper, with food to make a meal and drink before we had unpacked. There was also a welcome for our dog, who appreciated the radiator in the utility room. The only problem we found was the steps at the back, they are very steep. We are not as young as we were, so we found them difficult. We will hopefully stay at Robin Cottage again, as it is so convenient for all sorts of places, and SO comfortable.

Mr Sellers November 2019

“When we arrived we were delighted to find a welcome hamper, not only for ourselves, but one for our dog Molly too, which included towels to dry her off with when we came in from the rain.”

The cottage was very tastefully decorated with a few Christmas ornaments and lights which was lovely. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and everything we needed for our break away was provided. The heating was more than adequate, a plentiful supply of hot water too. All in all, our first time away in a holiday let was the most pleasing experience, and the bar has certainly been set very high for any future breaks away. Robin cottage was the perfect central point for visiting the local area, and I feel sure we will be back there at some point in the future. Congratulations to Judi and her team for an excellent job done.

“All the comforts of home”

Loved this little gem of a cottage. A very clean and comfortable home. Loved the log burner and even got a welcome pack for the dog as well as one for us. Received a phone call from the owner a day before just to confirm everything and she was at the end of the phone even when we got lost (our own fault)!. Wouldn't hesitate to return and would recommend it to anyone even if you don't have a dog. Both Mattock and Bakewell were within easy reach and although the cottage is on a busy road it did not bother us. We loved it and hope to go back soon Thanks to Judi and team.

About the location

MATLOCK

Matlock Bath 1 mile; Bakewell 8 miles.

The popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, has been attracting visitors to the area since the spa was developed in the late 17th century. Set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent, the Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as a host of attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham – a great place for all the family with its showcaves, nature trail, water gardens and Owl Maze. South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst a short drive away is the National Tramway Museum at Crich. To the north are the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House and Park - not to be missed!
