“When we were browsing your website, we were looking for a characterful property with lots of charm.”

This property was passed by many times as we didn't particularly want to stay in a 'modern' property. Fortunately for us, we couldn't find such a property which was available for our party of 8. They were all taken. Finally, we decided to check out Leehay, and although we still thought it was a modern property, the reviews were excellent, and it seemed to meet our requirements. How surprised were we when we arrived. WOW! ...

How surprised were we when we arrived. WOW! If anyone is seeking to spend a truly wonderful and comfortable weekend in a cottage full of charm, look no further. Leehay is just that; renovated with love, retaining many period and original features. What a memorable weekend. We all loved it! A fantastic property in a picturesque setting! Thank you Jan and Des Perry and family

- Mr Perry, May 2019
“Lovely cottage which was very comfortable in every respect.”

It was in a good location and we had a most enjoyable holiday.

- Mr Jackson, April 2019
“A wonderful holiday house.”

Very clean and immaculate. Tastefully appointed to an excellent standard. None of us has ever stayed in such a well equipped place here or abroad; it wanted for nothing. It catered for all we needed for eight adults and two babies, even down to bath toys! An idyllic location in this small, friendly village amidst the beautiful White Peak, yet is so close to Bakewell and Matlock. We would love to return.

- Mrs Jones, April 2019
“Our second visit to Leahay.”

We are six ladies who have breaks together twice a year. We love leahay for its comfort, beautiful finished rooms, space & easy access to walks & towns.

- Mrs Bestwick, March 2019
“Leahay was perfect for our family.”

It is spacious, comfortable, incredibly well situated and brilliantly equipped with everything needed for a relaxing family holiday.The fact that the property backs onto the village recreation ground was a added unexpected bonus, as our grandchildren could happily play on the equipment, whilst we watched from the garden of Leahay.

- Mrs Armitstead, February 2019
“A lovely place to stay and meet up with our family, we had an early Christmas and the house was fully equipped for all our needs.”

It felt very homely and we would definitely return again. Thank you for the wine and cakes, very thoughtful.

- Mrs Bailey, December 2018
“We have visited the annual Christmas market in Bakewell for the last 3 years and find it difficult to find accommodation to suit as we are 4 couples but this was perfect.”

Plenty of space and everything we needed with great attention to detail. Lovely little village with very friendly people and some lovely walks. We will be back.

- Mr Grant, November 2018
“Excellent location for the Southern Peak District with plenty of walks within a 5 mile radius.”

The beautiful village of Winster is on the doorstep along with the entertaining and informative Unesco World Heritage site at Cromford.

- Mr Wallis, November 2018
“This was everything one could ask, for and more.”

We were all extremely happy with this accommodation. Thank you to all concerned.

“Very well appointed - kitchen especially - and surrounded by wonderful views”

“WHAT A GORGEOUS FIND”

I think my friends and I were blown away by the amazing cottage and gardens. The interior was simply fab and so very modern especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. If I could give this cottage 10 stars, I would. It was so clean and the beds were extremely comfortable with good quality bed linen and pillows. I usually take my own pillows when I go away but left mine in the car as the ones provided were fine. I know it's a little point but I have been to so many hotels and guest houses were you wouldn't even want the pillows in the bedroom, never mind laying your head on them. The bathrooms had everything you could possibly need and were spotless. We all decided to take it in turns to cook for the 3 days we were there and it was a pleasure to do so in such a well equipped kitchen. On arrival the owners had left us a fresh cake and a couple of bottles of wine. There was also the essentials such as cooking oil, sugar, foil, cling film etc etc. Nice little touches. The gardens were immaculate and there was plenty of room to eat al fresco, with tables and chairs already outside. The driveway was ample and took our 3 large cars very well. There is absolutely nothing to criticise about lea hay at all. We met the owners who were lovely and they asked if there was anything they could do to improve the cottage. We all agreed it was perfect. Thank you so much to carol and joey (carol's daughter) for the obvious hard work they have put into creating such a wonderful home for people like us who wanted a very relaxing break in an wonderful environment. Best wishes from us all, bill, carol, nigel, dee, paul and diana.

“Fab-u-lous”

I have just returned from a week in the Peak District and cannot rate Leahay highly enough. I didn't want to leave. The accommodation is beautiful and it really felt like a home from home. I feel very lucky to have found this little gem. Communication with the owner was great and we (1 couple and 2 single adults) arrived to a lovely welcome of cake and wine and treats for the dogs (we had 2 little ones). There are 2 bedrooms on the ground floor with 1 shared bathroom - huge shower and free standing bath and a further 2 bedrooms on the first floor each with their own shower room. A fully equipped kitchen (probably better kitted out than my own home) a dining room with table and chairs and a lounge with tv, dvd player and stereo. There were table and chairs on the lawn and at the gravel area at the side of the house. The whole house was immaculate and furnished to a very high standard - beautiful! Beds comfy and plenty of towels provided. I would recommend staying here for all the comforts of home in an excellent location. We ate in the Miners Standard - a lovely country pub - 3 nights. This is a short drive from the cottage or a walk across fields/footpaths if you fancy it. Excellent food - great portions and reasonably priced. We were a short distance from Bakewell and Matlock - both having plenty of shops and food places, I would recommend a visit to the Heights of Abraham - fab day out. All in all a perfect holiday in a perfect house - please can I come again? Clo

“Luvly jubly”

Situated in the wonderful village of Elton. Fantastic spot and a good base to explore. The Limestone Trail only a short walk away. Stunning views. Driveway large enough to hold 2- 3 vehicles, with space in the road if needed. House is stunning inside. Extremely clean and very well equipped. Owner very friendly and helpful. Dogs allowed, however the garden is not dog proof. Would highly recommend.

The cottage

An absolutely superb four bedroom cottage in the centre of the village of Elton in between Matlock and Bakewell.

All bedrooms can be configured as twins or doubles so this extremely versatile cottage is ideal for four couples, eight individuals or any group formation.

The cottage is finished to a very high standard with a tasteful mix of contemporary and restored period architectural pieces.

The modern designer kitchen features a very high end range and is perfect for preparing a feast to be enjoyed in the lovely dining room featuring double French windows out to the garden.

The spacious sitting room has a woodburning stove and provides a comfortable and cosy retreat at the end of the day.

Two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are on the ground floor which is ideal if there’s a member of the group who doesn’t get on with stairs.

Both feature patio doors out to a sheltered courtyard area with fabulous views and the stunning bathroom includes a luxurious roll-top bath as well as a large separate shower.

Two further bedrooms on the first floor are equally luxurious as are the two designer shower rooms.

There’s also a little quiet reading area on the landing.

The beautifully manicured lawn is a fantastic place for the kids to play and the owner has left plenty of garden toys to keep them occupied.

For the adults, the cottage is pitch side to the local cricket club and what could be more quintessentially English than taking tea on the lawn and watching the game with the sounds of leather on willow and cries of “howzat?”.

Tear yourself away and you have lots of choice to fill your days, with beautiful Winster one mile away and Bakewell and Matlock five miles in each direction.

A stunning property in a fantastic position to enjoy the Peaks any time you are lucky enough to go.
