"Just a cottage is a little gem beautifully situated to take advantage of the Derbyshire Dales."
It is beautifully furnished and accommodates seven people with no problem. It is spotlessly clean and a credit to the owner.

"The cottage itself was absolutely gorgeous, finished to a beautifully high standard and with plenty of space for 7 adults and a puppy."
The underfloor heating in the kitchen was a real dream! When we had a problem with the hot water Dave sorted it out for us immediately. It is ideally located for local attractions. Dave was very communicative and friendly, giving us advice on local walks and things to do and was very understanding about breakages. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this cottage!

"The cottage was one of the warmest, most comfortable places we have ever rented (underfloor heating has a lot to recommend it!"
) Loved the decor, chosen specifically to blend in with age of the property, including the vintage china; the double bedrooms were a terrific size and the kitchen was well equipped. We didn't use the outside seating area as it was still too cold, but in high summer would be very useful. Loved the position of the cottage - near walks and a reservoir, where we saw lots of wildlife. Short drives to famous towns e.g. Bakewell, Ashbourne and Matlock, but the peaks and Dales accessible too. Netflix on the t.v. was good, when it rained for one day! Helpful, friendly owner and housekeeper. We hope to go back.

"We used Just a Cottage for a family pre-Christmas catch up and it was a perfect place and cottage to meet."
The house was very well appointed and felt spacious for all seven of us to meet and spend a kind weekend together. Dave was a really great host and called beforehand to give us some top tips for our visit. We would definitely book the house again!

"We had a wonderful time."
The cottage is beautiful and the facilities are very good.
The bedrooms were immaculate and all found their beds to be comfortable.
The owner went out of his way to welcome us with a telephone conversation about how to find the key box and other facilities available in the area.
He was very helpful and when we found the heating was not working he arranged for it to be resolved immediately,
For anyone staying for a longer period the utilities room is well provided with washing and ironing capacity.
Would happily visit again and recommend it to others.

"The cottage itself was lovely, lots of space and well provided with kitchen items."
A kind welcome pack of milk, juice and chocolates was a lovely start to our holiday. The outlook across from the cottage is rural, with sheep grazing in the field, which our daughter loved to see each morning! Took us a while to locate the walk to the wood from the cottage, we have left instructions in the guest book as it is lovely once you find it! The main road, which is 100 yards from the cottage, is very busy and exiting the property by car is troublesome. The direct locality isn't particularly rural, but on the plus side there are plenty of options for shopping and take aways locally.
There isn't a dishwasher, it would just make self catering for a larger group easier if one could be accommodated in the future.
Overall the cottage is really comfortable and within half an hour of many interesting places. We used it as a base to visit Chatsworth, Carsington Water, Gulliver's Kingdom, Bakewell and many beautiful Peak District villages.

"'Just a Cottage' is a really modest description of this home."
It had everything we could want, the usual extras that we brought were not needed.
The cottage, really the old farmhouse, we believe, had been beautifully renovated by the owner. (A charming man). Workmanship is first class throughout.
Underfloor heating downstairs worked very well.
The garden was very well cared for and a pleasure to sit in
We had a very pleasant stay. The best cottage we have ever rented.

"This property is beautiful."
The cottage is in a lovely position and has the very feel of a home more than a rental cottage. The owners and caretaker are lovely people and very helpful. The welcome pack is a nice thought, we didn’t want for anything. We rented the cottage for a family gathering as we are all in different parts of the country and we had a great family weekend including our border collie who was right at home with the walks from the back door. My only suggestion is that a black dustbin is needed for general rubbish by the recycling facilities as I was worried about leaving a black bag outside with the cottage being in the countryside setting. This is the best cottage so far we have rented. Well done to everyone.

"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.

"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.

"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.

"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
