"Robin Cottage continues to be a home away from home."
Suzanne is lovely to work with via email and text and managed to decorate the cottage for our Christmas break which was lovely. The cottage is wonderfully furnished, has a very comfy bed and a perfect garden for our puppy.
We look forward to returning (again!)
Dear David, Laura and Oscar
It was a pleasure to have you all stay at Robin Cottage again and to set it up for your Christmas break. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it and I look forward to welcoming you all back in the future.

"Lovely homely cottage."
a lot of thought has gone into making it welcoming. only one downside which we were made aware of before booking was the steps at the back. we are elderley but obviously didn't realise how we would struggle. we have visited this beautiful area several times and will do so again. our favourite local area was the whitworth, dogs loved running around the park.
Dear Geraldine & Peter
Thank you for this great feedback, I do understand about the steps in the back garden, for most guest they are fine and I'm sorry they were a problem for you. It is something that I will consider addressing in the future to give better accessibility to Robin Cottage.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the area and found great places for yourselves and the dogs.

"We loved Robin Cottage, a real home from home."
Everything you could ask for inside and out. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom, comfy bed, Free view on television, plenty of books to read, Games and children's DVDs. Towels and bedding provided as well.
Furry friends are not forgotten either with treats, towels, dog bowl and hose for muddy paws. A safe and secure garden for dogs and our dog was quite happy there.
The road to the front was noisy but with the windows closed this was negligible.
Suzanne the owner has put a lot of thought and care into the cottage which we appreciated and we felt if there were any issues they would gave been dealt with straight away. The food basket, milk, butter, bread, cereals, eggs and yummy scones and jam, was a lovely touch which took the immediate stress of going shopping away so we could have a cuppa on arrival.
There are some steep steps at the back into the property but we didn't find them a problem. Parking was a bit tight and reversing in was definitely easier but wasn't a big issue.
Lovely area with plenty of walks and places to see.
We would definitely like to return in the future.

"We spent a week as a family at Robin Cottage."
It was absolutely perfect for us, fantastic property with great facilities for a comfortable break away from home. The owner could not do enough to make our stay comfortable, and left us a fabulous welcome pack including lots of goodies and an Easter egg for our son. The property was close to all the key attractions including Matlock, Bakewell and the Peak District. I could not recommend the property enough and the owner even posted some belongings we left at the property. Five stars from us!

"The cottage has been renovated to a good standard and is artistically furnished and appointed."
Small living room but good size kitchen/diner/bedrooms and bathroom. It was very comfortable.
We were, however, disappointed that the first we knew about the steep steps was after we had fully paid, when we received an email from the owners. On checking the photos on-line, it is clear to me that photo 13 has been deliberately aligned to completely obscure the steps with the lavender plant. My wife is a blue badge holder, and you need to be upfront about this. The alternative front door usage is not viable. I think you need to attend to this matter to avoid any claims for accidents in the future. I do understand that your ownership of the property is quite recent, however.
Lastly, the duvets were only 4.5 tog, which proved to be inadequate for this time of year.
Dear Roger
Thank you for the constructive feedback, I am always looking to improve the service to my guests. I will indeed make sure that the steps are indicated on the website description. I'm sorry about the duvets, the weather had been so up and down and I thought the low tog was best together with the throws for your stay.

"Clean, tidy, well decorated cottage, lounge was incredibly small, only 3 glasses to drink from, mugs very small so only little cups of tea, would have liked big mugs and more glasses."
There were 3 garden chairs but they were very uncomfortable! Lots of text messages and a phone call from the owners.
Dear Liz & Colin
I'm sorry that Robin Cottage did not meet your expectations, I do provide 3 x 3 sets of glasses in different sizes and several regular sized mugs and include a tea pot for guests. I also provide cushions in the utility room to place onto the garden chairs and also separate fold up deckchairs.
The cottage was originally built for the Railwaymen who worked in the area, I have endeavoured to maximise the space and comfort for our guests, although I seek to make improvements where possible.

"The owner could not be more helpful or welcoming, providing excellent advice and guidance and a great welcome basket, not just for us but for our dogs too."
The cottage has secure front and rear gardens and inside it is cosy and still cool in summer given the thick stone walls. Everything we needed was available and the place was well looked after and spotless. One minor downside was the road noise from the front of the house but effective double glazing and a back garden meant this was not an issue for us. It is a great central base for exploring the Peak District and we found some good walks straight from the door. Excellent value.
Dear Alistair
Thank you for the feedback. I'm really glad you had a good time in the Peak District. I understand about the road noise so it is mentioned on the booking website and is why there is triple glazing to the front of the cottage.

It had everything as advertised( not all are) . The welcome basket was a nice addition including a couple of Easter eggs.

"We stayed for a week early March, with our 16 month old pointer."
The cottage was absolutely perfect for us. Suzanne was in contact a few days before our holiday - by phone and email with clear directions and suggestions of places to visit. Lovely welcome pack for us and the dog. Cottage really warm and cosy, we didn't need to light the log fire at all. Pleasantly surprised that we had no noise from the road at all, which had concerned us at first, but it was fine. Two of the main things we wanted was an enclosed garden (it is small, but perfect as we were out on walks every day); and parking (we found it easier to reverse into the space). There are walks straight from the cottage - our favourite was walking up behind into the woods and then onto the moor. But the cottage is also in a great location for seeing the Peak District. We never spent longer than 30-40 mins in the car getting anywhere. We had long walks every day - Mam Tor; White Edge; Birchen Edge; up on the peaks behind Haversage; Bamford Edge overlooking the Ladybower reservoir. Also wandering round the grounds of Chatsworth House. It was our first visit to the Peak District, and we had a wonderful time, definitely helped by staying in Robin Cottage.

"This cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Peak District, just down the road from Chatsworth and Bakewell about 10mins drive."
There are also lovely walks straight from the cottage. Lots of useful information on that available in the cottage. Such a good dog friendly cottage, great to have a secure garden and have the utility room for drying off from wet muddy walks, and our dog loved the treats left for him! Lovely log burner to curl up in front of, and great kitchen kitted out with everything needed, including a really useful welcoming hamper. Only very minor down side was slightly slow shower pressure, but that is nit picking. We had some pretty bad weather whilst there and Suzanne was great, checking in that we were alright. Great host, really making sure we had all the check-in info needed ahead of our visit.

"We found Robin Cottage to be very inviting, warm and cosy with the main bed being one of the most comfortable we have experienced."
The welcome packs for both ourselves and our labrabor Izzy were exceptional and very much appreciated. While we chose it because of its proximity to family who live in the area, we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wishing to enjoy the wonderful Derbyshire countryside and walking with four legged member /s of the family. It fronts the A6 main road through Darley Dale but with the double glazing any traffic noise was barely discernable and did not in any way spoil our nights sleep.
