"A very lovely dog friendly place, the welcome pack and doggie treats were a really nice touch so thank you very much."
The fields for dog walking were a really great idea and our dogs loved them! I know the property is catered for dog owners but the cottage wasn’t that clean on arrival, then the smell of dogs was pretty strong and my suggestion would be maybe a few diffusers around the cottage to take the smells away. We also struggled with the double bed shame a king size couldn’t be used in at least one of the bedrooms. The cottage has everything you need for cooking etc such as cutlery, tea towels and cleaning products.

"This was a beautiful cottage with plenty of space and a very modern finish."
A lovely welcome basket awaited complete with dog biscuits. We are pleased to say that we have NEVER stayed in a dog friendly cottage that was SO dog friendly! This is not only 5 star for humans but also for the dogs, even to the point of providing accessories should they have been forgotten! It's spacious, very clean and with quality, plentiful crockery, cutlery etc, just like we all have so no scrabbling around and making do .....a real home from home. The security for dogs is second to none, and there are exercise fields on the property as well as many walks outside the gate. This property has great access to major Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire towns and cities, as well as a number of attractions all within a 15 mile radius of its central location.
The hosts are really experienced dog people so they understand the differing needs of dog breeds (we travelled with a nervous/aggressive chihuahua, a mad poodle pup and an elderly gentleman cross breed) and their understanding and approach was very much appreciated. If you re interested in agility with your dog, this is the place for you.....the hosts were able to arrange a starter session for the mad poodle on their professional agility course and she thoroughly enjoyed herself! This really was a six star place!

The accommodation was absolutely immaculate and the owners John and Sue had thought of everything. The bedrooms were really lovely with thoughtful little touches to add to its warmth. A real home from home! We really could not fault this cottage, we had an amazing time, both John and Sue were on hand to help or give advice if needed.

"Lovely holiday home in stunning surroundings."
Nice friendly owners provided a nice welcome pack which was appreciated. ( the dogs loved the hand made doggie treats). A great location for discovering the Peak District attractions. Really nice to have a secure paddock for the dogs to have a safe runaround. Interesting to watch the dog agility sessions on site.
A dishwasher would have been a nice bonus as would a window in the main lounge which we found was a bit dark with just a patio door to the secure garden so no natural light. Other than that, it’s a beautiful home which the owners must be proud of. It’s certainly well equipped and even the dogs were happy with the nice touches to make them feel welcome too. Feeding bowls, treats, doggie mats and a little room to dry off in comfortably.
Highly recommended and thank you.

Owners really know how to accommodate dog owners.
The only thing I would say is that it advertises as having a dog wash. This is a garden hose(cold water) on the drive.
This is not what I class as a dog wash.
We own a touring caravan and go away a number of times each year. A lot of sites have 'dog washes' which are walk in bath style set up with hot water.
Having said that we are hoping to return next year with our £40 voucher you sent.

"On arriving at Skei’s place, the cottage was set in lovely surroundings, off a busy main road, very secure all round , which was peace of mind having our dog with us."
On entering there was a vey useful boot room, which we found very useful having a dog, and being so muddy.
On entering the kitchen there was a lovely welcome pack, which included a bag of treats for our rescue dog, which was a lovely touch.
Our only disappointment was the cleaning let it down, especially the shower room, lots of hair on the floor around skirtings, and edge of the shower, the shower head obviously hadn’t been cleaned, to rinse my hair probably it was impossible, but gave it a good scrub to find it more powerful, not sure if it had been hoovered recently in the lounge, and remote control was dirty too.
Having being on a busy road and no footpath, it was impossible , to go on a walk with a dog, you had to use the car.
Our visit to Ashbourne was very disappointing, not what we expected due to being run down, and very little shops open.

The Paddock is fenced and safe for them to roam off lead. The courtyard at the property is also very safe and again allowed the dogs to roam free. The gift of wine, biscuits for the adults and treats for the dogs was also very welcome, thank you. The owners should be very proud of what they have achieved here, everything you need is here and it is very clean and tidy. Nowhere is that far away and we did some great walks and visited the Tram Museum at Crich which was a great day out and excellent value for money.
