"A beautiful well equipped cottage, very clean and spacious!"
The owners very kindly left us a superb welcome basket which was a lovely surprise. The Cottage is in a lovely little village and is in walking distance of a small shop, farm shop, garage and pubs and is in the ideal location for a visit to Carsington Waters and Ashbourne and many other places.

"Lovely property which very good facilities, ample kitchen utensils etc."
lovely rooms and decor. Great location near numerous spots to visit: Kedleston Hall (National Trust), Carsington Water, Bakewell, Matlock and Heights of Abraham. Property is on busy road but that is clearly stated. Had a great stay with family.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback, I am glad the cottage was to your liking and you had a nice time. Best wishes Karen & Andy. Property Owner

"We have loved staying at the cottage."
The cottage itself has been very well looked after. It is very clean and has everything you need. It is a great base to use if you want to explore more of Derbyshire. The dog washing barn is a brilliant addition and thank god we are able to use it!! Thank you for having us and we hope to come back soon.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad the cottage was perfect for your stay and hope to welcome you back. Best wishes Karen & Andy Property Owner

"Valley View is perfect for a family holiday."
I cannot fault the cottage. It is spotless and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are really comfortable. The bathrooms are lovely and it was so nice to sit in the lounge with a real fire after a day out. It is dog friendly and the owners even left bedding, blankets and bowels for the dog. The garden is secure and there is a good driveway for the car. We also received a really nice welcome pack when we arrived. It is in a great location - easy reach of Matlock, Ashbourne, Derby and National Trust properties. Carsington Waters is a beautiful walk and is only 10 minutes away. There is also a good pub next door. The road caused us no issues and we didn't even notice it once in the house. Thank you for a great break and we would definitely book again.

"This property has everything you could need."
If you think otherwise then sorry you are being picky. The parking area and grassed area ideal for dogs and children plenty of room for 2 large cars that we had. Yes it’s a main road but easy enough to reverse in and your on route to start your day in the many areas of interest close by. We didn’t use the dog cleaning facility but what an added extra to make life easier after a muddy walk. Thank you for the break we needed

Valley view is very warm and comfortable cottage, we had a lovely family Christmas there, the kitchen is extremely well equip , the added extra like the Bluetooth speaker etc , the large rooms, comfortable beds make a holiday special, the pub next door will let you done if you book an evening meal but the black horse is very accommodating

"We spent a very pleasant week in Valley View, it is so well appointed we didn’t want for anything, well maybe a teapot but we managed okay with the cafetiere!"
!
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The teapot is in the buffet sideboard in the dining room with a full antique tea set that is available for use. It does say I think in the information pack that there are glasses and a tea set in there. We hope to welcome you back again. Thanks Karen and Andy. Property Owner

"Superb weeks stay at Valley View."
The property was very clean and well maintained inside and out. Kitchen fully equipped with quality items, with everything you could possibly need, good sized fridge/freezer. Comfy beds/quality bedding with pillow and mattress protectors, seating very comfy and lovely bathroom facilities with quality towels. Heating fully adjustable and plenty of fire logs. As clearly stated, property is on a main busy road, we found the only room affected by this is the downstairs bedroom on the front but we did not use this, however it is a great room for makeup and hair as its really light with dressing table. There is a ring video doorbell which we assume is monitored by the owners for security which is reassuring but is not audible in the property so guests are not disturbed. Good owner communication from Karen and a very special thanks for the excellent quality alternative vegetarian welcome pack. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so glad the cottage had everything you needed and we hope to welcome you back. Best wishes Karen and Andy Property Owner

"Absolutely lovely stay!"
Welcomed to a cute package from the local farm shop down the road. This place literally has everything for a chilled week. Lots of space for a family of 6 and a dog. The pub next door do really nice food and very welcoming. Very close to Dovedale and Carsington Water which is a must to check out. Would definitely come back again. Thank you! :)
Thank you for your kind comments, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage and every attention to detail to help make our stay comfortable."
The welcome pack was amazing and very much appreciated, unfortunately The noise from the road is advised in the description but we found it extremely loud and at times shuck the building so difficult to sleep especially as it was warm and we needed the window open. ( A note just for the owners please, the wet room drainage did not work very well it appeared the long drain did not work at all and the small square struggled to cope at times )
We thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay, we have taken your comments on board and have had it looked at. Property Owner

"The property was great."
The only thing stopping me giving 5stars, was the tv. The one and only time I managed to get it on the picture was dark and the sound so low you could hardly hear it. No way of adjusting it as you only had Sky controller. Apart from that we had a good time.
-
"The property was absolutely beautiful, exactly as pictured."
You didn’t need for anything, washing liquid provided in the utility, dishwasher tablets under the sink, the hosts thought of everything. We loved chatting with you to hear about the history of the property and how it was a post office! We’d happily return, the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the walks around the Peak District. Just a genuinely gorgeous place. Thank you.

"A fantastic holiday cottage which I would highly recommend."
Very clean and comfortable, especially the beds. Facilities were fantastic, especially the bathrooms, my daughters in particular liked the Bluetooth mirrors. A great selection of books for walks in the area which we used, as well as plenty of other books too. The welcome basket was lovely, nothing was wasted, especially liked the butter and Bakewell tart. The cottage is exactly as the description and pictures show, a home from home.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and will hopefully welcome you back again. Best Wishes Karen & Andy Property Owner

"Due to the location, size and facilities of the cottage, we had a wonderful time with our dispersed family."
For anyone with children, there is a play area and grass within walking distance. There was also a lovely card and welcome pack from the owners which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad that you and your family had a good time and the cottage was ideal for you. We will hopefully see you next time. Kind Regards Karen and Andy Property Owner

"We were so pleased with our stay at Valley View."
The property is absolutely beautiful and it is evident that so much thought has been put into making it a pleasant stay. The decor is lovely and the property was spotless throughout. It had every single amenity we could possibly need and was also well-suited to our furry friend. We received a free welcome basket which was filled with delicious local produce and a personalised card. We would love to visit again and would recommend to others too!
Thankyou so much for the lovely feedback, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay and had everything you needed. You are welcome back any time! Karen & Andy Property Owner

The property
Ashbourne 5 miles.
Settled into the village of Hulland Ward, near Ashbourne, Valley view is a lovely Peak District getaway for a family or friends.
Enter into this lovely eighteenth century cottage and hang up your coats in the cloakroom, before unpacking into this tastefully renovated cottage.
Settle down with a good book in the sitting area, where an original inglenook woodburning stove warms your feet from a bare brick fireplace.
Pass the quirky bookcase door, which opens up into the under-stairs storage, and reach a beautiful dining room, retaining the original bare brick fireplace and wooden beams, now housing an electric fire stove to give your dining experience a hint of historic ambience.
When mealtimes call, find yourself in a lovely spacious kitchen and with the assistance of the home-from-home amenities, cook a heart-warming meal as the handy utility takes care of all of your muddy clothes.
As the evening wears on, three tastefully-furnished bedrooms offer a space for you to snuggle up for the night, including a super-king-size zip/link that can be set up as a twin on request, a king size and a ground-floor double serviced by a ground-floor wet room, and there is also a bathroom with the option of a refreshing shower or a soak amongst the bubbles in the free-standing bath.
Much of the flooring throughout the ground-floor is laminate, making this property pet-friendly, and there is also the addition of a dog washing station in the outhouse!
Pets can also enjoy the enclosed lawn, whilst guests can make the most of the patio, where you can relax in the sunshine with a glass of your favourite beverage.
Hulland Ward is a village that rests near the Peak District with a local shop and pub.
For more convenience stores, eateries and independent shops, head over to Ashbourne, where there is a selection of antique stores, as well as historic architecture, or there is the option of heading over to Carsington where guests can hire bikes or try out watersports on Carsington Water.

The Peak District National Park is a must visit for guests, supplying you with a wealth of fantastic walks, including those to Thor’s Cave, the ruins of Throwley Old Hall and Robin Hood’s Stride.
Further from the property you can enjoy an action-packed day at Alton Towers or explore the wildlife at Matlock Bath Aquarium and arcade.
All of this and more with a stay at Valley View.

About the location
ASHBOURNE
Matlock 15.7 miles; Bakewell 16.6 miles; Chatsworth 20.4 miles.
Lying at the southern end of the Peak District, Ashbourne is a perfect example of an English market town - market place with stalls, eccentric street plan, narrow cobbled alleys, coaching inns and almshouses. In its heyday in the 18th-century, the town was a fashionable social centre, and many fine Georgian buildings remain from this period. Today the town still has much to offer in terms of restaurants and inns and is regarded as something of a haven for antique hunters - but don’t expect a bargain! For those who prefer more outdoor pursuits, the Dove and Manifold Valleys are close by and for thrill seekers Alton Towers with its exciting collecting of rides and attractions is just a short drive away.
