“THE HOSTS WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND ...”

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.

“Fantastic location and really ...”

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!

“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.”

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.

“Lovely cottage, with everything you ...”

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.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our recent ...”

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.

- Mrs Mahoney, May 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.

Well equipped cottage in a stunning environment. We came to visit family and because of the spacious living area we were able to entertain them. Many thanks to our hosts. We would very much like to come again.

“The cottage was well maintained, ...”

The cottage was well maintained, clean, welcoming and the heating was on when we arrived! 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 :)

“We liked the peace, tranquillity ...”

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.

- Mrs Smith, July 2016
“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.
