“Lovely cottage and setting.”

Lovely cottage and setting.

Lovely cottage and setting.

“Good location for the Derbyshire ...”

Good location for the Derbyshire dales. The property was well kept and the owner was extremely helpful with directions and also providing extra towels for all.

“Smithy Cottage is a lovely place ...”

Smithy Cottage is a lovely place and everything is very well presented. Two improvements could be made. - It was hard to find the key box in the dark because there are no outside lights. A light can be switched on from inside the cottage but this does not help when you are trying to find the keys and the door after dark. - The house lacked basic provisions that you would expect to find when you are staying for just a few nights. The salt cellar had been left empty, there were no dishwasher tablets, and other mainstays were missing: kitchen roll, cooking oil, foil. Where supplies were provided, a bare minimum was given: the end of a bottle of fairy liquid and a scrap of clingfilm. This seemed unnecessarily stingy. You had to bring absolutely everything with you or buy new supplies.

“Cottage was spotlessly clean, very ...”

Cottage was spotlessly clean, very cosy and homely without the usual personal ornaments and clutter. Very good size for a 2 bedroom cottage. Have already recommended it to friends!

“Lovely Cottage and facilities, ...”

Lovely Cottage and facilities, roomy yet cosy we had a great time thank you.

- Mrs Nichols, September 2016
“Picturesque and peaceful”

Smithy Cottage is a well appointed, very cosy cottage situated by Cromford pond. All main appliances in the kitchen are integrated and there is a washer/dryer, fridge and separate freezer. There is only one television in the property, but with WiFi being there, plus plenty of books, games and DVD's provided too, there will be enough to keep everyone entertained, and of course, you can always take your own. Delightfully there are 3 toilets, always a plus in my book! Cromford is a lovely village, it has virtually everything you need within a stones throw from the door, from a hairdresser to a book shop, from a beauty therapist to a chocolatier! We, as a family, ate in The Boat, 4 nights out of 7. Thursday is Quiz night, and it is definitely worth a look. Masson Mill is only a 5 minute walk from Smithy Cottage. If you enjoy Bargain Hunt/Flog It, then James Lewis (Bamfords) has a place at Rowsley and Charles Hanson (Hansons) has a place near Mickleover.

“Lovely cottage in an amazing setting”

Really enjoyed our week in this well appointed cottage, nicely furnished, and kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could want. Fridge ,freezer, dishwasher and a downstairs loo. Would have loved a hairdryer and one bathroom had large bath towels the other had small ones !!!! Wifi was provided and the view from all windows was of the mill pond with it's resident swans and 6 hungry cygnets . The parking was a bit of a challenge as we had two cars but we managed without too much hassle.

“Not a critics my, just a ...”

Not a critics my, just a suggestion, Travelling in Europe for three months and this is the only place that hasn't provided a hair dryer, would be good if there was one there, it would not be a big exspensive to provide one. Also in one bathroom there were large bath towels, the other bathroom had small towels, big ones would have been much better.

“Smithy Cottage on the Mill Pond was ...”

Smithy Cottage on the Mill Pond was excellent, with a beautiful outlook over the lake. Cromford was also an excellent base for visiting the area with a good range of shops and eateries. We also had a cheeky swan that visited, pecking on the patio door for food!! A lovely and enjoyable stay and would recommend to everyone.

- Miss Hardy, July 2016
“Excellent accommodation. A perfect ...”

Excellent accommodation. A perfect setting right in the heart of the village. A lovely clean Cottage with great furnishings and well equipped kitchen. We hope to visit again next year.

- Mrs Golden, June 2016
“Beautiful cottage and surroundings.”

Beautiful cottage and surroundings. There were lovely walks nearby and it was so easy to get to other tourist attractions. The kitchen and fittings were excellent. The cottage was very spacious, easily accommodating four adults.

- Mrs Swallow, May 2016
“Perfect!”

Stayed here with my partner and his family for a week. Very clean, well decorated and equipped, nothing let us down. There are 2 cottages here converted from some workers cottages. Ours had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and there was a downstairs loo also. Simply decorated and for once in a holiday let the place was not littered in ornaments and personal stuff. A great big downstairs space of kitchen, dining and lounge area. WiFi, Sky TV, DVD the works really even with a freezer! Looking out onto the Mill Pond the 2 big swans came visiting and tapped on the French Doors when they wanted feeding. Parking isnt easy as you have to back down a fairly narrow entryway to the road - but we managed

“Comfortable, well appointed cottage by the mill pond”

Probably one of the best rentals we have had. Two bedrooms, one with en suite plus a separate bathroom, so the four of us didn't have to bump into each other in the middle of the night! Spacious and tastefully decorated living area with comfy sofas and a well appointed kitchen with fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Unusual to get all 4 in our experience. All rooms up and down overlook the mill pond with ducks and swans to entertain you. Swans can sometimes come visiting so keep the doors locked!

“Well appointed, warm, clean and ...”

Well appointed, warm, clean and comfortable cottage with beautiful views across the mill pond.

- Mr Barrett, February 2016
“Everything in the cottage was of ...”

Everything in the cottage was of the highest standard. It's the best self catering holiday cottage we've ever stayed in. There's plenty to do, for a whole range of interests, in Cromford and within a few minutes drive. But equally, the cottage was so relaxing that you could completely chill out and do nothing.

- Mrs Pattison, February 2016
“Beautiful cottage in lovely ...”

Beautiful cottage in lovely setting, accommodation was very modern but still has the homely feel of a cosy cottage. Close to all amenities in the village, perfect location.

Smithy And Weir Cottages On The Mill Pond

Imagine tucking into breakfast as just a few feet away, swans glide by and beautiful birdsong is underscored by the sound of cascading water. You’ve heard there’s a kingfisher which can often be spotted diving for fish, so perhaps you might stay put and try your luck? Perhaps you fancy exploring some industrial heritage, then have a coffee and cake at that deli, or maybe a bite to eat and a meander through a lovely bookshop? In the evening do you fancy a restaurant, a bit of pub grub and a real ale, or a bit of tapas with a glass of something to match? Everything described thus far is within 400 yards of this delightful pair of cottages in Cromford village. Imagine the endless possibilities if you venture further afield. With tastefully-finished bedrooms with views over the mill pond, the cottages on the Mill Pond are perfect for couples, small groups or a family.
