• "What a delightful property."

  On arrival we found the cottage spotlessly clean with some lovely welcoming touches awaiting us, home made lemon drizzle cake, dog treats, blanket and towel for our dog. The property is warm, comfortable, decorated and furnished to a high standard, with all the equipment you would want. The bed is extremely comfortable. There's an enclosed private patio and a field for your dog to run around. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. It is located in a perfect location for exploring the Peak District and surrounding areas We can't wait to return.

• "More than pleased with this booking."

  A little 'homely' gem at a good price. It had everything we needed and was in close proximity to many local places. It was lovely and peaceful - being off the main road(s). The owners were excellent - there if needed and left you to enjoy yourselves the rest of the time. Lovely outlook. We will be back. Oh and a big thank you for the lemon drizzle cake - absolutely delicious and an excellent touch. Regards Tony and Kay

  The owners were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The lemon drizzle cake was superb and received with thanks. The location is quiet with beautiful views and yet near to Derby and Ashbourne. I had a great week despite storm Babet hitting Derbyshire on the day I arrived! Thank you.

• "We’d definitely recommend The Croft for a relaxing stay."

  From the minute we arrived we felt welcomed, the hosts are friendly and helpful, and the set up is great for dogs. The location is ideal for exploring and with so many scenic walks you’ll be spoilt for choice. The Red Lion pub up the road is well worth a visit especially for their pies. We loved it all.

  The outdoor Christmas lights were so welcoming and inside there was a lovely decorated tree. Thoughtful touches of dog blanket, biscuits etc, plus a lemon drizzle cake for us were most welcome. The cottage was immaculate, spotlessly clean with quality furniture and equipment. It was very easy to kick back and relax. Other family members had taken the cottage next door, The Byre, which proved a great way of spending Christmas together whilst enabling independence too! Thanks to all concerned x

• "The cottage was very clean and beautifully furnished and the position was peaceful and rural."

  The owners were very friendly. The lemon drizzle cake was fab. The only issue we had (which we discussed with the owner) was that the fridge/freezer mentioned in the listing was not a fridge/freezer but a small fridge with an icebox. We tend to shop for the week on our way to a cottage and always choose a venue with a freezer so it was disappointing to arrive and find just an icebox. The owner did offer to put stuff in her freezer, but this would have been very inconvenient for all parties. Nobody else seems to have mentioned this in their feedback, so perhaps we are the only people who truly self-cater and like a freezer to store bread and rolls so that we don't have to shop more than once. Apart from this one issue, The Croft is a perfect place for a holiday.

  Nothing flashy, but everything is done perfectly. One of the few places where the bed is large and comfortable and doesn't give you a back ache. Comfy couch, WiFi which actually works properly and a well equipped kitchen. Took the dog with us and was given use of the owner's large field to exercise the dog. Even arrived to find cake, and various beverages already in the kitchen, as well as some dog biscuits! Owners were very friendly and helpful, but were never intrusive ( a tough balance to find!) A thoroughly relaxing and pleasant break. Will definitely stay again!

  The cottage was fabulous. I loved all the little touches like the key fob (I bought a similar one from the lovely craft summerhouse!), the lemon drizzle cake left for us, the beautiful fresh flowers in the kitchen window and the super special big dog blanket. Loved the hare picture too. Outside the view was lovely. Laying on the sun lounges amongst the lovely garden flowers listening to just the bird songs was so nice and great to meet Jordan the resident chicken! Restful, peaceful luxury with a feeling of warmth and friendliness - fantastic. Nice pub a short, sheep enhanced, dog walk away.

  Being our first holiday away with our new dog she was made to feel very spoilt with her own mats and blankets as well as endless amount of treats. The Living area was spacious, comfortable and well equip. A beautiful spot which we will be returning too. Thank you! With so many fantastic walks around it might be nice to have somewhere to put muddy shoes by the door. But that's just because the space was so beautiful that it was a shame to put shoes straight onto the floor.
