• "Lovely cottage in a great central location for getting to everything in the Peak District."

  Walks from the front door aswell and a couple of pubs in walking distance. The town of wirksworth is about a 25/30 minute walk from the cottage. Lovely peaceful place and nice treats for the dogs and for us thank you Jo! Totally recommend this cottage for you and your dog/dogs!

• "Lovely little cottage, has everything you could need for a stay away from home."

  Lovely, clean and comfortable (minus feather pillows) Took a while to get used to the spiral stairs, by the end whizzing up and down. Always a bonus when a property has a washing machine.

  Very quiet in the evenings. Situated close to interesting places to visit. Brilliant meals in local pub, walking distance. Even the neighbours were very helpful.

• "Radiators need changing to the modern style as they radiate far more heat, as the cottage was cold if it wasn't for the log burner we would have gone home but that comes at a cost of £8 per bag."

  They look very ornate but are inaficiant as I've fitted hundreds. But it's still a lovely little cottage with lots of local walks with the dog.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you was cold in our cottage. There are instructions in the folder to turn the heating up to whichever temperature you'd like to make you more warm and comfortable which is simple to do on our modern hive system. Our radiators are only 4 years old, so they are not that old. We do supply a free basket of wood on arrival. Only additional wood is charged as it costs us to purchase. Again thank you for your feedback and hope this helps. Jo. :) Property Owner

• "Nice property, small but has all what you need."

  Due to the construction it is slow to heat up. Very comfortable bed and very quiet surroundings. The village is 2 pub place with no shops. The nearest shops are 2 miles away in Wirksworth.

• "The Snug is a really lovely cottage - exactly as described, ideal for my husband, myself and our small dog."

  It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

• "Nice cosy property with lots of thoughtful touches."

  Nice deep bath that fills quickly is great after a long walk. Carsington Water is definitely worth a visit. If you are on public transport 110/111 drop off and pick up from the Rising Sun and the Visitor Centre. Little sixes are great for getting around local places.

  Very good for walking in the countryside and also within walking distance of Arkwright's Mill, Cromford, Wirksworth, Matlock Bath for those willing to walk up and down the hills. The village is pretty and has two good pubs. I was able to park my car within 50 m of the cottage which was very convenient.

• "A lovely place for two with everything you need for your stay."

  The spiral staircase may cause problems for those less able - small suitcases/bags recommended. Although it has no on site parking we found street parking each day. Lovely area for walking and two welcoming pubs in the village.

• "Lovely cottage, ideal for 2 and the dog."

  The garden wasn't as secure as we thought as the pictures didn't show the low wall on one side so I'm glad we took our long lead for Niko. Being a husky he would have chased anything that moved.. Having said that we would definitely book again as the Village is pretty much central to everywhere we walked

  I had problems with broadband which the owner tried to resolve although it remained slow (taking time to load pages, not enough to stream on the nice, big Smart TV). Otherwise the owner was very helpful and I would recommend and may return

  Hi Robert. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm so sorry about the broadband! It was just something that was out of my control unfortunately with it being a technical issue their end. I was on the phone to Plusnet so many times trying to sort it out, and happy to say that the engineer came out yesterday and fixed it and is alot faster and back up and running again as normal. :) Thanks for your feedback, Jo.

  Jo very thoughtfully left a small gift, cupcakes and birthday decorations for us so when we walked in, we instantly felt at home, and in the mood to celebrate! The cottage itself is beautiful with an air of magic. Lots of beautiful decoration that makes it feel homely. We especially loved the barn door (where the top half of the door opens, but the bottom half is closed). The dates we were there had some rainy moments but the barn door allowed us to enjoy the rainy smells and sounds, take in the beuaiful view and be as close to nature as possible, all whilst sitting on cosy chairs with a blanket to keep us warm. Truly magical moments that we're looking forward to experiencing again.

  The doggy welcome pack was a lovely gesture on arrival. There was an enclosed garden which made it really easy to let the dog out and to have somewhere to wash the dog after a muddy walk (and a dive into the canal!!). The owners were very helpful when we had questions; and in one instance where something wasn't working they were there sorting it incredibly quickly to make sure there was no impact on our stay. Their customer service was really excellent. The location was really good with plenty of walks and tourist attractions nearby and a nice pub with food down the road. It was easy access to go anywhere we wanted. Genuinely sad to leave and really enjoyed our stay.

  Easily found with the instructions given. A cosy cottage lovely and clean with everything you need for your stay. It sits in the middle of the main street but just down a little alley so no noise.
