    Host Suzanne is certainly very focused on providing an excellent visitor experience. From leaving a well stocked welcome pack, a basket provided with goodies for your dog, she also goes above and beyond to provide information to ensure an enjoyable stay. Location is perfect for getting out and about without travelling too far, and we always looked forward to returning to the cottage to spend our evenings in such a lovely cottage. Highly recommend Robin Cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful break, you will not be disappointed, and we would love to return sometime in the future. Thank you, best wishes Sandie & Roger

  • "I stayed at Robin Cottage for 7 nights, 31 August 2024."

    I was with my two dogs Vincent and Theo, and my friend Lynn. It is perfect for a stay in the Peak District, I walked my 2 dogs from a different starting place every day - the furthest I had to drive was a mere 15 miles. Suzannes directions for finding Robin Cottage were spot on - thank you! The two welcome baskets were top quality (one for humans, one for dogs), the milk/butter/eggs were especially appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and sitting at the dining table there's so much history to read on the cottage walls. The sitting room is so cosy - I was grateful that I had packed my dogs fleece throws to cover the beautiful fitted carpet - and their beds too, so that they settled well at night. The Welcome Book was full of fascinating facts on the history of Robin Cottage. Upstairs the two bedrooms had comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. I would love to stay at Robin Cottage in the future.

    Dear Candice, Lynn, Vincent & Theo Thank you for the great feedback. I'm so pleased that you all had a good time at Robin Cottage. I would love welcome you all back sometime. Best wishes Suzanne Property Owner

    Not in the thick of it but has great access to the bus stop right across the road that'll take you directly into Bakewell & Matlock, much easier than finding a car park space! Really dog friendly, even had a cleaning station outside to keep the house and pups clean. Had some lovely welcome baskets for both us and one for the dog ❤️ Was a really nice touch. Only minor issues was the internet was a bit hit and miss, and for me personally the shower pressure was a bit lacking. All in all, we had a fab mini break at Robin Cottage.

    Hi Steph, thank you for the helpful feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I will get the internet checked out as it has been working fine. Best wishes Suzanne Property Owner

Suzanne was very attentive calling us before hand to see if we had any special requirements, the welcome baskets for us and our dogs are a lovely touch and the surprise bottle of wine for our Anniversary was above and beyond. The cottage is ideally located for hopping on a bus to visit surrounding areas if you don't want to drive. Lovely places nearby to eat and have a drink. Local walks to enjoy especially if you have dogs. We noticed that there a re quite a few returning visitors commenting in the review book and we can see why.

    She also checked that everything was okay after we arrived. The welcome baskets for us and our two dogs included treats and towels for them, scones and jam for us as well as essentials to get us through the first days thank you Suzanne. The cottage is traditional and has reminders of it's past. The main bedroom had plenty of storage and a comfortable bed and pillows. Bright clean bathroom, kitchen had everything we needed. The lounge is small but okay for two adults and two small dogs to cosy up in on chilly days with a log burner. Small utility room useful for letting dogs dry off in after rinsing them with the hose outside. The 3 steps down into the garden from where you park the car are steep as others have mentioned but the handrail was helpful for me as I have arthritis in my hips. We did two off road safe walks which started across the road and to the right of the cottage just before the Indian restaurant. One way takes you to Whitworth Park and the other to Rowsley shopping village and The Grouse and Claret pub. A great location to drive to other areas and we enjoyed our time at Robin Cottage.

    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.

  • "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. Kind regards Suzanne Property Owner

    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 is the second time we’ve stayed here now. It’s a very clean, comfortable cottage which is well equipped with everything you need and very dog friendly. Nice secure garden with no worry of our dog escaping. We will definitely be returning next year.

  • "A lovely, warm, clean & cosy place to stay."

    We didn’t want for anything. The owner calling us a few days before our stay is a lovely touch & made us feel very welcome. The cottage is situated perfectly for so many things to do & see without having to drive far. We would 100% recommend this place & we will definitely be back.

  • "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. We look forward to using Robin Cottage as the 'go-to' accommodation in this area in the future. Thank you Judi and her Team for making our stay so pleasurable. Ellen, Martin and Izzy Parnell

  • "Robin Cottage was a real ‘home from home’ with absolutely everything we needed."

    Really thoughtful welcome pack which even included treats for our dogs! Levels of cleanliness and the provision of essentials was much greater than we have ever seen before. We would wholeheartedly recommend Robin Cottage to any potential visitors to the area.

Resting in the idyllic village of Darley Dale, close to the charm of Matlock and Bakewell, is this stone-built, mid-terrace property, Robin Cottage – 2 The Meadows.

Perfectly placed for exploring the vast outdoors of the Peak District, this inviting dwelling is a great choice for families or couples wanting a break from normality.

Be welcomed into the sitting room, where the alluring woodburning stove encourages quiet nights in, complemented by a TV and sofa for further relaxing.

A well-equipped kitchen is sure to satisfy your culinary needs, housing country cream units and a homely feel throughout, along with all the utilities for home-cooking.

Just off the kitchen is a utility room where the pooches can dry off after a long walk.

As you start to tire, climb to the first floor and discover the bedrooms, comprised of a double and single, both neatly presented with storage for your belongings.

Start the morning with a shower in the bathroom, before stepping out to the enclosed garden patio, offering a tranquil spot for an alfresco breakfast.

Darley Dale and the surrounding region are a heaven for walkers and nature enthusiasts; home to some of the most magnificent countryside in England, you're sure to find something to interest you, whether it's immersing yourself in the town's history or venturing off the beaten path.

The town of Matlock is home to an impressive array of eateries, real ale inns, cafes and shops, along with attractions including Gulliver’s Kingdom and the Peak District Mining Museum, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied.

Nearby, Matlock Bath plays host to Lover's Walk, a romantic riverside walk along through the woodlands and up to the clifftops, or why not ride a cable car to the heights of Abraham or visit to the majestic Chatsworth House?

Before making your way back to the cottage, stop off for some traditional fish and chips at Darley Dale Fish Bar, or if you’re got more time, book a table at the Shalimar Indian restaurant, just a moment’s walk from the dwelling.
