“Very sympathetically restored cottage with excellent attention to detail and a very high quality of finish.”

Location convenient for exploring the surrounding area and the owner could not have been more helpful. We found it the perfect choice for a large family reunion weekend.

“The only thing that stopped the holiday cottage from being near-perfect for us was its proximity to a road that got quite busy at times.”

As the garden of the cottage is not far from the road, this was a little disappointing. It wasn't as peaceful a location as we'd expected from the description, therefore. However, from inside the house, this wasn't a problem.

“The cottage was beautifull clean and comfortable ,we had an issue with a broken shower head, phoned the lady and she came and sorted it same day.”

Milk in the fridge on arrival ,which is always lovely so you can have a cuppa whilst deciding what to do with your day . WI-FI is a little weak but in fairness there was 5 of us all using at the same time , So not complaining .

“Just a Cottage was a perfect place for us to spend our holiday.”

It was equipped with everything we needed and was spacious and well presented. The beds were very comfortable. The outside space was perfect for the summer weather and safe to allow the dogs to be out in the garden. We enjoyed the games, books and recommendations provided and found the owners to be very accommodating, willing to answer any questions and to help us out throughout our stay. This is a beautiful place to stay and was ideal for 6 of us with our dogs. The Peak District is very accessible and as well as enjoying more local walks and places to visit, we also travelled into the Peaks on most days. We would thoroughly recommend Just a Cottage as a wonderful place to spend your holiday.

“A great place for us all to meet up as a family as we live in different parts of the country.”

Important to have the dog included too. Lovely local walks and a convenient base for exploring the Peak District. The owner and the manager could not have been more helpful. Thank you.

“I do feel that the photos on Sykes of Just a Cottage, do not do it justice.”

We thought it looked lovely but on arrival we were more than pleased with the place. Surroundings were great and my grandchildren were very happy watching the sheep opposite the cottage, the horses in the other fields, which are all very children friendly. Walks are well worth it and the Swanwick railway museum staff went out of their way to accommodate all of us, some of the friendliest staff I have come across anywhere. Local pubs and restaurants are many and we found very reasonable in cost. Can,t speak highly enough of Dave and his colleagues who own the property. Thanks for a great weeks stay in your place. Jim

“Really lovely, nicely decorated, spacious cottage with very comfortable beds.”

Everything was very clean, tidy and the bed sheets smelled fresh. The owner and manager are both very nice and accommodating. They left us supplies and a box of chocolate biscuits for our arrival. The house is well equipped however it would benefit from a larger TV, DVD player and a washing machine. The TV is perfectly good it's just my eyes struggled with the guide. None of these things adversely effected our visit though. The cottage is not far from a few shops and only 20mins from the Peak District. Extremely good value for money

“Beautiful, well appointed cottage, friendly owner.”

- Mrs Henderson, October 2017
“A lovely, comfortable cottage and the owners were friendly and very helpful.”

Thanks for a great week.

- Mrs Bennett, April 2017
“The cottage was lovely and the owner was so helpful.”

He even came by with details of walks that we said we were interested in and rang us with details of local pubs. Just wish the weekend hadn't have gone so fast and we could have spent more time there!

- Mr Powis, March 2017
“Had a lovely family get together at the property.”

Very cosy and homely. Dave the owner was very hospitable and was on hand to help with any queries. Would definitely stay there again!

The property

This spacious late 1600s, semi-detached cottage which forms part of a traditional range of farm buildings set around a courtyard is on the northern side of the Golden Valley next to the village of Riddings, providing a fantastic base for families and those with pets.

This lovely, traditional home from home is full of charm and has four comfortable bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities.

Downstairs there’s a cosy sitting room with low ceilings and oak beams where you can relax at the end of the day, a spacious dining room again with low ceilings and oak beams and an open fire, and a lovely farmhouse style breakfast kitchen with quarry tiles, beams and a Belfast sink.

There’s a lovely cottage garden to the front and side, perfect for a barbecue and chilling out in the sun.

A really fantastic feature of this cottage is it has a paddock and field with walks all the way down into the valley which means you can step out the door and walk into the valley without ever going near a road.

Quite amazing when you think it’s situated very conveniently for the local shops, eateries and real ale pubs.

Take a stroll around Codnor Park Reservoir, jump on a steam train at the nearby Midland Railway Centre, or even try your hand at carp fishing.

There’s a good golf course nearby and plenty of attractions with Matlock, Bakewell and Chatsworth all within easy reach.

A superb cottage that you can enjoy at any time of the year.
