“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. ...

“We booked both Deer cottage & High Croft for a family weekend away.”

The owners were brilliant and so helpful and friendly when I contacted them. The cottage was lovely and so spacious and was also both baby and dog friendly. The surrounds were beautiful with lovely views all around. It was lovely to wake up & open the curtains to see the deers in the field next door. Brilliant weekend and fantastic property. Would definitely go back.

“Had a lovely time at the cottage ...”

Had a lovely time at the cottage Lovely surroundings and the facilities are like a home from home They seem to have thought of everything to make your stay as comfy as possible The deer outside your window are an added bonus to already fabulous scenery and it’s lovely to be able to let our dogs out without worrying they’ll escape and vanish up the road A couple of things added to the already well thought out cottage may make things easier for the owners like a doormat to save their carpets, coat hooks to keep wet coats off their furniture maybe a towel rail in the toilet/bathroom to keep their lovely towels off the floor Other than that can’t fault it well done

Mr Arrowsmith August 2019

“Deer Croft cottage is in a brilliant countryside location with many places of interest within ten miles, it was a bonus to see the deer throughout the day.”

Mrs Clifton March 2019

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

Mr Searle September 2018

“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.

- Mr Searle, September 2018
Mrs Young 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.

- Mrs Young, July 2018

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

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 Mahoney 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.

Kitchen had all the essentials. Brilliantly equipped for dogs, with a hosepipe outside to get the muck off after a walk, plus use of a garage connected directly to the cottage to dry them off. Wonderful location to 'get away from it all' for a few days. Pretty easy to locate, lovely walks on the doorstep and owners who left you alone but were available and welcoming if anything was needed. Views of the deer were lovely. Would like to think we'll be able to go back again :)

Mrs Smith July 2016

“We liked the peace, tranquillity and the setting amongst the hills.”

Always, when we looked out of the windows we could see the deer just a few feet away, and to be able to watch the two 2 week old fawns running and jumping about was a real privilege. The cottage was very warm and comfortable, so well equipped and very well laid out. We were all very sad to leave and have already recommended to our family and friends. The young couple who own it are lovely and work very hard to make your stay enjoyable. They deserve to be successful, we wish them well.
