  • "The cottage was lovely, beautifully decorated and very well equipped, everything worked perfectly and we had a very enjoyable comfortable stay."

    Although I realised the parking was on road parking, not knowing the area, from the property description I was expecting more of a village, I didn’t realise that the road was going to be a busy as it was and it was quite noisy traffic wise in the front rooms. We would also suggest a light by the mirror in the bathroom as my partner commented it was hard to see to shave properly.

  • "Courthouse Cottage is a lovely, well thought out, holiday cottage."

    From a fantastic kitchen to a relaxing hot tub and a garden with grass for the dog. Beds were super comfy and we didn’t want to go home. Walking distance to a pub The Mossbrook, Aldi, Co-op and takeaways. Some good walks on the doorstep. A short drive takes you to the peaks.

    That's brilliant. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your time in Eckington and also loved Courthouse Cottage. Thank you for the great feedback. Property Owner

    It is even nicer than the pictures! We had a lovely 4-night stay and couldn't fault a thing - the kitchen is better equipped than our own at home! Good location. We found lots of nice walks for our dog. The local people we encountered were all really friendly. Amazing hot tub too! Highly recommended.

    Lovely kitchen with all that you could need, even a welcome pack of goodies waiting for us. The beds were nice and comfortable and the hot tub was fantastic and checked every day by the owner. Loads to see and do near by and dog walks available straight from your door. Nice touch printing local map walks for people who stay. Great information book available which was a great help. Many thanks for a great time
