"The cottage was absolutely stunning, super clean, comfy beds."

The kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook. Hot tub was fab with the beautiful view out the back. Great walks a few minutes away, our Labrador loved it. Renishaw hall is definitely worth a visit, 20 minutes walk from the cottage. Would love to return. Great communication from the owners too. 5 star place

"We absolutely adored our accommodation and location ."

The Court House is simply beautiful, spotlessly clean and immaculately decorated. There were so many thoughtful touches including some local jam tarts and freshly baked bread waiting for us on arrival. The hot tub was also spotless and is lovely and quiet without any intrusion to privacy. Beds very comfortable and bathroom perfect. I find it impossible to give any negative feedback whatsoever. My only helpful suggestion which more a practical one, would be for a water mat to be located at the back door for when moving in and out of the hot tub. Thanks again for our amazing stay and I highly recommend this location and property! We would definitely return. :)

Thank you for such a fantastic review! I'm so pleased you enjoyed every aspect of the cottage and had a great stay. Thanks for your suggestion too, I'll look into that. Thanks Property Owner

The cottage was perfect! So warm and beautifully finished. Perfect gateway to the Peak District. The hot tub was such a treat. Just the right temperature in the snow!

"One of our best hottub breaks to date."

Set in a great area for walks , restaurants, pubs and sight seeing. The stay itself had everything you need, furnished beautifully, the hottub was great also. Our kids loved the little hide away play area in the bedroom with lots of lego and train tracks. Nicole herself was so helpful, great communication. Thankyou so much

"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.

Thanks for the great feedback. I'm glad you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

"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.

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.
