“The cottage is well located within Cromford & is spacious, however that is where the positives stop.”

The day after we arrived we contacted Mr Grossi to report the vile state of the oven & extractor. Both were covered in thick grease & clearly had not been cleaned for months even though feedback had been provided from a previous guest earlier this month. Mr Grossi said that he would arrange for someone to come out the same day to have a look. No such visit took place & he didn't even have the courtesy to speak to us again.

The day after we arrived we contacted Mr Grossi to report the vile state of the oven & extractor. Both were covered in thick grease & clearly had not been cleaned for months even though feedback had been provided from a previous guest earlier this month. Mr Grossi said that he would arrange for someone to come out the same day to have a look. No such visit took place & he didn't even have the courtesy to speak to us again. We reported this to Sykes Cottages on the Monday morning, they contacted Mr Grossi again, but still nothing. The extractors in both the main bathroom & the ensuite do not work & so paint is now coming off the ceiling. Once again these issues were included in feedback as far back as June 2019, but once again nothing has clearly been done.

I am terribly sorry that the stay did not match your expectations. I am sorry that I could not tend to extraction fan not working and the oven not being to your standards but we were unable to get someone out at short notice. We do provide spare light bulbs for the property and understand that some of our guests would prefer not to attend to changing these themselves during their stay. I would like to assure yourself and our future guests that the all points raised were tended to following your stay. Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. - Sykes owner relations

“The cottage was so well equipped and comfy that we spent more evenings in than eating out which we would normally do on holiday.”

Great location to get to most places and could shoot down the Via Gellia rather than having to drive through Matlock Bath traffic.

“We had a very pleasant stay at Weir Cottage but unfortunately it was somewhat spoiled by the cleanliness of the kitchen.”

The oven had not been cleaned for some time and there was a dirty grill pan which reeked of the smell of fish which went through the entire oven. Some of the pans were unusable due to caked in dirt and rust. Considering the extra time we had to allow for the cleaning we did not find this acceptable, we have informed the owner of our findings and he said he would be visiting to check on things perhaps this should be done in between each let.

“We Have Just Ended Our Holiday At "Weir Cottage".”

My wife and l booked our holiday via the internet, with no personal recommendations. Upon arrival our breath was taken away the cottage was superb and so well appointed. All the fitting out was to extremely high standard, congratulations. Many thanks for a brilliant week. John F.

“Excellent cottage, great location for walking or driving short distances to good restauarants and local attrcations”

Really comfortable, clean, spacious and nicely equipped. Within walking distance of a few really good restaurants and excellent tourist attractions. We spent a week here and didn't need to drive more than 50 minutes to access some really interesting mills, caverns, canal trips, walks etc typical of the Peak District. On arrival we were supplied with a few teabags, sugar, coffee sachets, biscuits, a pint of milk, pump hand soaps in all bathrooms and the downstairs loo, washing up liquid and a dishcloth. Although there is no garden, there is a table and 4 chairs on the driveway which is secluded and in front of the pond. The weir is noisy 24/7 but we found it pleasant and could hear it through the night through the open windows. The second bedroom only has a chest of drawers and as we were two adult couples, storage in this room was limited. It would have helped if some hooks were attached to the wall to hang dresses and trousers. The showers worked well. The sofas are getting to the stage were they need to be replaced or steam cleaned. These were minor niggles though and didn't spoil what was otherwise a really great cottage in a very good 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. The boutique-style open plan kitchen, dining area and sitting areas are lovely sociable spaces with lots of light flooding in through French windows. Immediately outside is the bank of Cromford Mill Pond and a small weir, where sometimes leaping fish can be seen. These cottages are a superb base for everything the Peak District has to offer, and every season can be enjoyed to the full.
