“Better directions, 2 sat navs on and still got it wrong.”

Maybe state the venison for sale sign is the turning required. A pint of milk would have been nice! Just a suggestion.

We loved watching the deers in the nearby field every day.

“We had the most amazing holiday at Deer cottage.”

The accommodation was clean, cosy,well equipped and very central to all the areas to visit. We especially loved seeing the deers in the field on a daily basis and would highly recommend this cottage to stay

“Basic but very clean the deer in paddock behind made the stay very enjoyable.”

“Perfect! Loved it.”

Thank you.

“As we are both old, we asked Rob if it would be possible to have a stair-rail fitted on the left-hand side of the staircase to assist the climb.”

If this is possible we would very much like to go there again as everything was excellent.

“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.

“A lovely place with the wow experience.”

We have never been so close to deer before. People who own the cottage are very friendly and welcoming. I would strongly recommend people to stay here

- Mrs Chapman, July 2018
“We had a wonderful two weeks at Deer Cottage, the accommodation was excellent with all the comforts of home.”

The owner's were a very friendly and helpful couple, who couldn't have done more for us during our holiday. In the back field there is an amazing bonus with the owner's deer running about. They are so beautiful to just sit and watch. This area near Belper has so much to do in it with regard to the history, culture and beautiful countryside, that we need to go back as we ran out of time to do everything. I would defiantly recommend this property as a massive plus for anyone wanting a great holiday.

Many thanks to Jo and Rob for their always warm welcome.

“THE HOSTS WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.”

COTTAGE VERY COMFORTABLE. DIRECTIONS TO COTTAGE WERE GOOD. NO HAIRDRYER AVAILABLE IN COTTAGE. NOT QUITE ENOUGH HANGING SPACE FOR CLOTHES IN DOUBLE ROOM-COULD DO WITH AN ADDITION OF A CLOTHES RAIL. SHOWER A LITTLE BIT SMALL AND CRAMPED. OTHERWISE COTTAGE WAS VERY WELL EQUIPPED. ENJOYED OUR STAY.

“Lovely cosy cottage warm and comfortable that made up for poor weather we unfortunately experienced in April.”

Only negative couldn't find egg cups , fancied boiled eggs on our last day ...just minor niggle overall cottage was fine and large garage useful for muddy boots and bikes if you have them.

- Mr Pulham, April 2018
“Great cottage, all mod cons & perfect location for exploring all National Trust sites.”

Thank you.

- Mrs Ballard, March 2018
“Fantastic location and really welcoming couple, we will definitely return.”

Our toddler loved seeing and feeding the deers each day and they really made the holiday. We were expecting to rarely see them but they were often grazing by the cottage and would stay for long oeriods at a time. Cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed, particularly a garage for storing bikes and stair gates. We had a lovely time!

- Mrs Vines, March 2018
“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

“We had a fantastic holiday here.”

Our daughters aged 11 and 13 loved seeing the deer every day and enjoyed going to see the horses. It is positioned well for exploring the area, with lots to see and do. The cottage was extremely well equipped and the owners were lovely. The parking was excellent and having the garage for storage and for somewhere to be able to leave your muddy boots was really helpful. All in all a fabulous holiday.

- Mrs King, August 2017
“Lovely cottage, with everything you could need.”

Owners couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely surroundings and overlooking the deer was amazing. Lots of places nearby to visit, and nice places to eat . Would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mrs Ross, July 2017
“If anyone wishing a quiet relaxing holiday, then you can't go wrong with this location and property.”

Lovely all round. Far enough away to be secluded and close enough to travel around.

- Mr Goldsmith, May 2017
“We thoroughly enjoyed our recent holiday.”

Deer Croft Cottage was perfect for 3 adults and our 2 greyhounds, it was comfortable and had everything that we needed. We loved watching the deer grazing every day and equally enjoyed a visit from Aggie the friendly lab especially when she would peer through the lounge window at us! A great base for exploring a beautiful part of the country. We would definitely like to return again one day.

Agnes the Labrador became a lovel addition to our stay, making friends with our dogs, unfortunately we couldn't take her home Perfect size cottage with all the facilities you would need for a week Great location with local walks and only 30 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go

“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!

- Sandra S, July 2016
“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.

- Cathy R, June 2016
“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.

- Jill M, March 2016
“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.
