  • "I booked this cottage for a uni reunion, was a beautiful quaint cottage and we got given an extra night for free!"

    The kitchen was fully equipped and it was easy for us to all take turns cooking. Was very handing to have a dishwasher to. Was a short drive away from both Matlock and Bakewell and had short local walks around the area too. Only downside was there was no where to eat in the village, this meant we couldn’t all have a drink if we eat out or we would have to cook back at the cottage, but that is not the end of the world. Would highly recommend. Beds upstairs can easily fit two adults, they just have to mind there heads. Free parking also at the neighbouring pub. Don’t have a bad word to say, would stay again

    We had a lovely time with the family. Being mega critical there were a few bits that needed updating/general maintenance but it’s an old cottage and just added to the quirkyness really! Owners were very friendly and helpful too. We’d definely stay again.

  • "The noise from the staircase was so bad we all struggled to sleep if any one ..."

    The noise from the staircase was so bad we all struggled to sleep if any one moved around with two dogs that needed to go out in the night made it very hard as we understood from the description it had a private garden which was a share roof terrace which wasn’t practical The cottage was clean and well laid out with equipment but on the whole we would not recommend it to anyone else with dogs

    Hi Julie, sorry you found the staircase noisy, it is part of the nature of an old building and has not been a problem for previous guests. We are clear that our property does not have a garden and our outside area is a paved patio which has shared access with our personal accommodation. I am sure you will agree that the location of our cottage is perfect for dog walkers and there are outside spaces very close by for dogs to have that last minute pee. Property Owner

    Alan and Jane very helpful with any queries we had. I would recommend this cottage. There were 5 of us , three adult and two children so would easily sleep 8 as advertised. The upstairs mezzanine was brilliant for the children to sleep in. Every where was clean and of course you can take your dog with you.

    A lovely cottage with great facilities. Easy to find, easy to park. Lots to do on the door step - recommend Black Rocks, about 3 miles away with pretty but steep walks, amazing views. The owners of the cottage were helpful and very friendly. Their pub next door is a proper country pub with beautiful and interesting decorations. We look forward to returning.

  • "We loved the property - it was very cozy and perfect for our two families with children."

    The location is very good too, and we did two interesting walks around the area. So all in all thank you so much! The only issue was heating - it was really warm and we could not set the radiators to give moderate heat or switch them off - even on low setting they were very hot. The only way was to switch off the heating completely using thermostat. If there is a way to tune it, it is worth informing your guests for their comfort and also to save some money on the bills.

    Well equipped kitchen and nice spacious living space. It is in a great location if you want peace and quiet. The locals are very friendly and we were invited out on the village walk as we emerged from the cottage one Sunday morning, we had an instant new set of friends! The bus service is excellent for a remote location and good valley for money if you are still of a fare paying age! We would love to return to the area some time, it’s taken a piece of my heart!

    The only two slight issues were the lack of suitable cooking equipment for the microwave, and the dim mirror lighting in the bathrooms (difficult to shave in your own shadow).

  • "We could not fault the inside of the cottage or the helpfulness of the owner, However there was no reason why vehicles, especially the owner's huge van, were parked up against the cottage, taking over the frontage."

    Also our bedrooms overlooked the pub courtyard, so we were aware of chatter ( and dog barking ! ) well into the night......... The saving grace was the nearby public garden where we could sit and enjoy the sunshine and beautiful countryside views.

About the location

MIDDLETON BY WIRKSWORTH

Wirksworth 1.7 miles; Matlock 5 miles.

The former quarry and lead mining village of Middleton quietly nestles on a prominent hillside above the nearby towns of Wirksworth and Cromford, 5 miles from Matlock. The village is centred on a long main street which consists of two good pubs, before eventually winding its way down into nearby Wirksworth with a selection of shops and amenities. The village was the Silver Gilt winner for the National Village in Bloom awards in 2016 and 2017. The surrounding countryside is a walker's and cyclist's paradise, with the disused High Peak Railway line close by, recently converted into The High Peak Cycle Trail and providing a fun day out for all. Nearby Matlock provides a good range of shops and pubs, whilst the many National Trust properties and museums throughout the area are not to be missed. A great location at any time of year!

Note: Twin beds only suitable for children.
