“Our stay at Highcroft, Turnditch, when we arrived the first thing what impressed us the location and setting of this magnificent house.”

On entering the house and exploring, the only word that comes to mind is “immaculate” in every detail and needs had been accounted for. Attention to detail was second to none. Very high standard of furnishings in every room and very comfortable beds and bedding. Amazing views from every window also a private herd of deer in close proximity. The location of the house is close all popular places. ...

“Lovely cottage”

We have just returned from a lovely week here. We have 2 children 5 and 3 who loved waking up to the deer every morning and looking out for them on our return from our days out, generally they were outside our window. The cotrage was very comfortable with all John Lewis bedding, smeg kitchen and all necessary equipment for cooking a nd cleaning (if you want to do this on holiday) The sloping ceilings weren't really a problem, just had to remember them, mainly in the shower. The owners live at the bottom of the drive and were on hand by phone immediately with any questions. The location is perfect for days out. We visited Sudley Hall which was absolutely lovely, as was Chatsworth Castle and Markeaton Park, the best park we've ever been to, definitely worth a visit with or without children. We went to Drayton Manor and Gullivers Kingdom all full days out with children. There was so such more to do..... Tiger Inn was a mile away and local produced food was delicious well worth a visit.

“Deer Croft cottage”

Cottage was a good base to visit other places of interest. The main road directly from the drive with no paths made it a bit unsafe for walking,especially with our young dog. The owners did allow us to use the grassed area next to their cottage though. Cottage was clean with all necessary equipment but we had a few bumped heads in the bedrooms and bathroom due to the sloped ceilings.

“Amazing !!!! Didn’t want to leave perfect”

What a stunning little quaint place ! This was a perfect place for our family of four and Dalmatian Macy. Our two boys are 2years old and 4 years old and loved being able to see the deer out the windows all the time. All the features are high tech, it’s clean, modern, and has everything you need. It’s spacious enough and the kids loved running round in the double garage for a minute to let off some steam. It was so so nice, great location for loads of places. We went to the caves, elvaston castle, cusworth hall and was going to try the steam train but had to come home. We went to the railway pub which was lovely food, real chips and fab portions. We also went to the hanging gate ( a chain ) which was lovely too, with a cosy real fire. Really enjoyed the break maybe a few more DVD’s needed but perfect thanks so so much

“Sad to leave”

We have just had a wonderful holiday at Deercroft cottage,and didn't want to leave.The owners Jo and Rob have equipped the cottage with everything you might need,it is warm and comfortable and set in beautiful countryside.Every window had great views and animals wandering by.It was so wonderful to see the deer just a few yards away and we were welcomed by a beautiful stag grazing by the door.The two 2 week old fawns also came running and jumping by too. We also loved the daily visits of Agnes,their young black Labrador dog who was mum to the 2 remaining puppies.I will really miss her because she was such a friendly,happy dog. There are numerous places to eat in the area,the closest being the Tiger.Thursday night is "pie night" with a choice of no less than 100! We also found Ashbourne to be particularly dog friendly,as lots of shops allowed them in as well as the pubs. We found so many places to walk and villages to discover so wouldn't hesitate to go back. We have already recommended the cottage to our family and friends. It has been a real privilege to have stayed there. Thank you!

“We loved it”

We loved the setting and the cottage and our two rough collies settled in quickly, which is particularly unusual for one of them as he is very fussy about where we stay. The owners were helpful and meeting the deer, chickens, pigs and the Labrador Agnes and her gorgeous puppies was a bonus. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped and the local area was absolutely beautiful. Having never visited the Peak District before, this was a great introduction and definitely made us want to return.

“A peaceful retreat”

What a lovely base for a holiday. Lovely and peaceful with plenty of outdoor space for the kids and dog to run around in. Eating breakfast with Deer wandering past the window was very special. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and whilst not huge, it was big enough for our family of 4. The owners dog Agnes was lovely and played nicely with our own. Chatsworth house and Gullivers kingdom were close by and we would highly recommend a visit to the Crich tramway museum.

“Quality!”

We have recently stayed at Deer Croft Cottage for a week with our two Basset Hounds. On arrival we were blown away by the setting. Within minutes the local deer had wondered past the window to the much excitement of the dogs. The cottage itself was immaculate and spotlessly clean and is short of nothing. It consists of a huge double garage to store all our walking and doggy gear. There is also the local pig, chickens and Agnes the resident dog to keep us amused. We were not bothered by anyone all week and left in the peaceful tranquil surroundings of this amazing place. The property is finished to a very high spec and decor. We would highly recommend and look forward to a future visit very soon.

“Great Property”

Beautiful setting with deer grazing right next to the house. Very comfortable accommodation, clean and modern, the kitchen had everything you could need. There was a double garage available which went with the property and good for wellie storage and dog accessories ! Would definitely recommend.

“Wonderful peaceful cottage. Ideal for visiting Derbyshire.”

We stayed for a week in July and had an amazing holiday. The cottage was close to numerous attractions, pretty villages and beautiful countryside. The deer in the field at the back of the cottage made each morning/evening a pleasure. The garage was ideal for storing our dogs 'stuff' and was great for shoes etc. Both bedrooms had great views on countryside. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Enough space to cook a meal but I must say we never did as the pubs in the village saved us that job! Our own parking space was useful and our dog was very welcome. We would not hesitate to stay here again if visiting the area. THANK YOU for a lovely holiday.
