“We stayed in the house for 8 people and had the most wonderful weeks holiday.”

The cottage is warm, cozy, beautifully decorated and has everything thing you need. Th owners are lovely very friendly - there if you need them, but keep their distance if you don't. A perfect spot to get away and relax. The Red Lion pub - a few minutes walk away was also very friendly and served lovely food.

“This property really is 5 star.”

The location was perfect for us, so close to Carsington water. The owners went over and above to help us out.

“The location of this cottage was perfect for our family get away with 6 adults and one teenager.”

The gardens a fantastic place to relax and unwind and we had a great time. One very minor criticism is that the supply of pans for cooking could be better, we struggled to find pans big enough to cook dinner for our group of 7. The addition of a couple of large pans would be much appreciated.

Mr Pollitt June 2019

“Perfect setting, property photos don't do it justice - it was even better than we expected, especially the beautiful gardens and access to country walks.”

Carsington Water just a 15 minute stroll, tried several of the local pubs, all dog friendly. Owners were friendly and helpful too. Happily recommend this place.

- Mr Pollitt, June 2019
Mrs Cordery April 2019

“The accommodation was lovely, a beautiful home in a lovely setting.”

The children all enjoyed exploring the extensive gardens and playing on the swing. The owners were lovely and never complained about the children screaming with laughter. We visited the Red Lion at the top of the lane and although didn't eat in there it was child friendly with a children's menu. Carsington Water Reservoir was just around the corner and we enjoyed a day cycling there. Overall it was a fantastic base for the week. We would definitely go back.

Scott March 2019

“This is a lovely house in a great location.”

We found all we needed to have a comfortable and easy stay for our family holiday with a three year old and a dog. We actually used this as a half way meeting point, as we were coming from Dorset and my brother from Glasgow. Is was perfect and there is plenty to do and see in the area and around.

Mrs Wood February 2019

“The property is stunning.”

It is very well maintained and clean. The interior is very well kitted out and all the linen was The White Company, very nice. The gardens are very well kept and even though we were there in February we took advantage and explored the walks around the area. The house is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing, even firewood was available from the barn for a small fee. There was no intrusion from anyone, we really did feel a million miles away which was such a lovely feeling (pub, was only a five minute walk, which we visited on the Saturday evening). All in all, a thoroughly fabulous weekend. We would definitely go back.

Mrs Clifford November 2018

“The village was very old looking, set on a hill, with quaint cottages, and a great pub serving lovely food.”

Great walks for all, especially the dog. Ashbourne was the nearest place for shopping and well worth a visit. The owners living next door were very friendly and acted immediately on any problems we had. Definitely would return.

- Mrs Clifford, November 2018
Mrs Spencer November 2018

“Warm and friendly welcome.”

Cottage was clean, well equipped and spacious for all of us. Spacious gardens and easy access to footpaths for the dog. Nice quiet location so able to unwind.

- Mrs Spencer, November 2018
Mr Harwood September 2018

“A lovely spacious cottage with many unusual features.”

Very clean and beautifully furnished. Our two dogs were made to feel quite welcome by the owner who lives next door, and allowed to roam the extensive gardens as long as they were supervised and of course cleaned up after. We feel that the website should mention that Green Lane is not sign posted but is at the side of Hognaston church, and that guests should take the left hand, tarmac drive off Green Lane as we and some of our guests went to the wrong house. A most enjoyable location for our family party. R Harwood September 2018

“The location and cottage itself was perfect and the few days we spent there could have been perfect too (it was for a 40th Birthday and 74th Birthday celebration).”

The cottage said dogs were welcome and we had our 2 dogs with us as booked. The issue was around all of the additional rules we encountered when we reached the cottage that made it feel that dogs were not welcome at all! We wish we had known everything before we booked as we would not have chosen this cottage with the restrictions they place. We are used to adhering to reasonable and logical rules in holiday lets (we regularly are away with the dogs) but these were just a little too extreme. One of the owners (next door) was quite confrontational and it became very uncomfortable with her asking us to keep the dogs quiet and checking up on us regularly - no warm welcome at all!! It got to the stage where she frowned or pointedly ignored us on the last day. We were courteous and polite at all times and carried on to ensure the Birthday Celebrations were not dampened. Its a real shame as this could have been idyllic.....

- Ms Brogan, August 2018

We are very sorry you felt your stay wasn't perfect in relation to your feedback we wanted to respond. We are extremely dog friendly and have been so as holiday cottage for the last 10 years. In all this time we have never had one comment regarding pets other than saying its perfect for them. Regarding the point re restrictions, the only things we mention in the welcome note is a 'polite notice' asking that due to the light coloured furnishing on the first floor (carpets, bedding etc) that pets should be kept anywhere on the main ground floor as it perfect for them due to the natural oak and limestone flooring. The only other mention is that dog dropping should be collected and put in the refuse bin we have provided. Regarding the comments about the owners there was no conversation at all like this and we are wondering if in fact that was with someone else on site (we do have lots of passers-by, visitors etc) especially as my wife wasn't actually here on the last day as indicated as she works full time 50 miles away and had left for work extremely early before anyone was awake. The only conversation my wife had ironically was with one of the guests who commented that they didn't like dogs and hence why they were stood outside. My wife/ family have been brought up on Jack Russell's and she would love one but alas working life hasn't allowed us to do this, yet. In any event, we are very sorry if our guests felt this way or we have caused offence. We can only think it's a misunderstanding or even a case of mistaken identity! We will strive to investigate the mystery but yes, pet owners and their pets are most definitely welcome! Sykes owner relations

About the location

HULLAND WARD

Carsington Water 2.5 mile; Ashbourne 5 miles.

Steeped in history and situated at the southern end of the Peak District lies the lovely village of Hulland Ward, which, nine centuries ago, was the Royal Duffield Forest of Frith.

Hulland Ward is made up from a number of smaller hamlets including Hulland Moss, Hulland Upper, Nether Biggin and Hulland Village and is comprised of a scattering of traditional brick-built cottages, old farmhouses and barn conversions, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and offering a number of country pubs renowned locally for excellent service and fine cuisine.

Nearby Ashbourne is the perfect example of an English market town, boasting an eccentric street plan, narrow, cobbled alleys, old market stalls and many fine coaching inns.

The town offers a good selection of restaurants, whilst being regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters.

For those who prefer outdoor pursuits, Carsington Water is one of the country's premier watersports centres, offering excellent sailing and a host of other activities including walking, bird watching, cycling and bridleways, whilst Alton Towers is just 25 minutes away!.
