“We rented this lovely cottage along with the main house as part of my fathers 80th birthday celebrations.”

Excellent accommodation ideal for a family gathering.

“What a find !”

wonderful, wonderful cottage !..perfect location on a deer farm ... close to Derby and in the glorious countryside .. lots of pubs for lunch!..the cottage was clean, well laid out and well equipped. Added bonus of the beautiful deer and stag being so close to the house every morning .. the children loved it ! (also ,it was safe and secure for our dog to roam around outside ) we will definitely be booking again

“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

“Watching the deer and the stag out of the windows made this a really good week.”

“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.

“Our short stay at Deer Croft cottage was fantastic.”

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, the cottage itself was very cosy and comfortable and it was amazing to see the deer wandering past the windows. I would certainly stay there again and a place i would highly recommend.

- 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.”

Deer Croft is very well furnished with everything you need for your stay. The owners were always on hand but not intrusive, our two dogs Sam & Ozzy loved it too.

- Mr Sleight, June 2019
“Lovely peaceful cottage.”

All home comforts. Great location for touring. Friendly and helpful owners. Awesome to watch the herd of deer each day. Can't wait to visit again

- Mrs Chapman, May 2019
“What a beautiful little place.”

.. the setting is second to none eating breakfast then the deer appear wonderful creatures. The property was very modern but has that lovely oldy cottagey feel to it. Owners were perfect despite living on site they were not around however respond instantly to txt messages regarding a problem with the washer (fixed itself). Will definitely be visiting again

- Miss Geddes, April 2019
“Lovely cottage that was perfect as a base for our long weekend exploring the local area.”

Well equipped and the owner was really friendly and helpful.

- Mrs Baker, April 2019
“Feeling so at home and relaxed in cottage.”

Lovely to watch the deer just outside the backdoor. Owners really great didn't interfere but were very quick to answer any queries

- Mrs Prior, March 2019
“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.

For disabled guests, the cottage could benefit from a step at the door, it is a bit difficult to step up and in the door,

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful setting.”

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

- Mrs Cornett, December 2018
“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

- Mrs Chapman, October 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
“Perfect! Loved it.”

Thank you.

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

- Mr Pulling, September 2018
“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.

- NEIL S, August 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
“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
“The garage for the”

- Mr Maunder, June 2018
“This was our third or fourth stay at Deercroft and it continues to be one of our favourites.”

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

- Mr Le Cheminant, May 2018
“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
“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.

- Mrs Le-petit, April 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
“Great cottage, all mod cons & perfect location for exploring all National Trust sites.”

Thank you.

- Mrs Ballard, 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

“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.

- Ash-Fleetwood, October 2014
“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.
