Stayed for a long weekend Friday to Monday. Can honestly say we had the most amazing time. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you need and lovely and clean. Hot tub was incredible, bbq and log fire were perfect. Only two things I would say which are very little... downstairs in the lounge theres a huge whistling noise that doesn't stop think it's the fridge and upstairs on the top floor the windows needs blinds 2 of them do which leaves 2 windows with the sun beaming through very early in the morning. But honestly other than that, we will be returning and will be recommending to friends and family. We took 2 dogs who also very much enjoyed their stay! Beautiful places local to visit. We had a walk into belper, what a charming town! Look forward to booking again soon! Thank You very much.

Will definitely be using again and booking another holiday soon.

“Very comfortable and cosy cottage in a lovely country location yet close to all amenities.”

Great views out over fields to the back, large and well maintained garden and the outdoor bar and hot tub were fabulous. There were fairy lights all around the garden which made it really magical. This was a great place to spend valentines with my husband and I would return in a heartbeat. It really felt like home.

“Relaxing”

Stayed for New year with family & friends (7 of us in total, 3 children).Great location being able to access Belper easily and in walking distance of a local park for the children. Upon arrival we were met by the owner who ran through a few points (washing machine, Jacuzzi etc and how to work them). We stayed just after Christmas and into the new year and it was lovely being able to relax. During the day we played games we’d brought along (Also board games available in the house) & fed the horse at the bottom of the garden with the children. The evenings were spent in the Jacuzzi continuing to relax. Fairly confident we’ll be returning in the future :D

Went here for the weekend with 4 best friends We had an amazing time specially in the hot tub the only thing I would say is it could really do with a canopy over to stop getting rained on The inside of the cottage was perfect we loved to open fire and log burner and it was all trimmed up for Christmas Would highly recommend this property and can’t wait to go again

“The property was amazing , location was great and we all had a lovely stay.”

Only thing a bit frustrating for us was that there was only one toilet between 6 so it became a military operation in the mornings. Apart from that couldn’t fault anything!

- Mrs Reed, December 2018
“We had a wonderful Christmas at Over Cottage.”

The owners were most helpful in making our stay a delight. Would highly recommend,!

“Terrific will go again, Pet friendly, convenient location”

The location was perfect for what we wanted but I was so concerned by some of the reviews that I got the agency to speak to the owner before we booked. Hearing that it had been updated for the 2018 season and that the cleaners had been replaced, I booked. Very glad I did because it's a lovely house at a fair price and we had a terrific weeks stay. The garden was magical at night with a multitude of coloured lights, (Be sure to pay attention when Simon shows you where all the switches are) the hot tub was spotless, warm and fun. The kettle BBQ was terrific and the chiminea was handy one night when a bit of extra heat was welcomed Specific details of the kind I always wonder about .... The bathroom was large, spotless and the shower, one of those drench 'saucers' was fab. The bath is huge. the whole house has been tastefully modernised. The second fridge is the kitchen was a godsend as a cold drink fridge and the large SMEG in the dining room worked perfectly. The house is a good size and apart from a pair of oven gloves (for the BBQ not the oven) I didn't find a single thing that I wanted and couldn't find provided. The beds were comfy. In fact my only gripe about the whole rental was that the double room on the first floor REALLY needs blackout curtain liners as the sun coming in at 4am was no fun, they're cheap and would massively improve sleep in that room :) Recommend it highly the house welcomes pets and the garden is completely enclosed and child and pet friendly. We will go back and if you are taking a dog - be sure to Trip for reviews on Belper Parks as there is a dog paradise forest (literally) in the middle of the town that you will miss if you don't know it's there!

“Mr Faulkener was extremely approachable and helpful.”

The cottage suited our needs very well.

- Mrs Bivens, June 2018
“The cottage was Beautiful with everything that we needed.”

The garden was full of fairy lights so when the evening came it made everything more special. Easy to find and close distance to shops and walks. Would highly recommend

May be the cottage could have done with a bit more kitchen equipment there was a lot of saucepan but nothing to prepare food with but the hot tub was excellent and made up for what May have been missing we had a lovely holiday

“Generally the cottage was very good.”

Place was very homely, loved the open fire at night, dog was happy there as well. Grandson stayed over one night and couldn't get him out of the hot tub, he loved it, the whole house was a little rabbit warren for him. Accommodation in general quite acceptable. However the garden and shelter over the hot tub are not like the pictures though. Garden looks tired although we did visit in April but there is no shelter on top of the frame over hot tub. I think the picture is quite old given the height of the palms in the picture. In fairness the guy who looks after the place did say they had sent in alternative pictures to Sykes without the shelter for publishing but given that was 6 months or more since, one has to question either his comment or Sykes service to its members. I have said it met expectations in the Sykes website tick box review despite my comment above because it was generally very homely and appealing and feel it unfair to mark it down for one little thing but they do need to update the pictures of the cottage. In short its a nice place, good value for money, the general area is lovely with plenty going on and we would go again.

“302 over lane is lovely will definitely be booking again”

“Nearly just right”

This cottage has the potential to be pure luxury, it needs some nice bedding and some fluffy towels, a new setee (falling apart literally) and some outside lighting and this cottage would be almost perfect. It's in a great location, the hot tub is lovely, the view is amazing, the rooms are lovely but the bedding is thin/worn and does not fit properly (too small) the quilts are thin/cheap, such a shame ... Add some luxury and you've cracked it with this cottage as it has space for 6 easily, it was clean and we enjoyed it very much.

- DerbyATom, December 2014
“Excellent standard”

A very clean accommodation nicely decorated. The bedrooms were all cosy especially the attic room and the water bed. Kids were very impressed also, from the teenagers being glad there was wifi to our 3 year old girl who was pleased to find a drawer full of disney dvds. Lots of little details which made it such a pleasant stay. The hot tub was very relaxing. We will definitely be booking again.

- Melanie B, August 2013
“A truly relaxing week”

On a 6 week tour of the UK this was our fifth holiday home and undoubtedly the best. We arrived with the January snow but that did not deter us from having a wonderful time despite having to curtail some of out travelling.The spa was excellent and led to us having snowball fights in just our togswithout freezing. We entertained a number of friends without difficulty due to the well equipped, small kitchen. Once we got used to the water bed it was really comfortable and supportive. I would have no hesitation recommending the property.

“Fabulous house and an amazing weekend!”

well where to start... when we arrived the hot tub was up and running, which is one thing we were worrying about as none of us had much experience with that kinda thing! the little welcome folder was helpful with plenty of info about the area and amenities etc, there was even some milk left for us so we could have a brew, the house itself was decorated and furnished to a very high standard, all lovely bedrooms no complaints there and as we were a young group of girls the bathroom situation wasnt a problem for us, the bathroom was brilliant... a nice bath and a great waterfall shower! Now for the outside, even though the weather was obviously cold at this time of year we spent most of our time at the outdoor bar and in the hot tub... the hot tub was amazing, no rashes and no problems using it. The bar was our favourite part of the house and we decided our only negative and it isnt a negative really was that there were only 2 mirrors, one in the bathroom and one in the single bedroom with the pull out bed and that wasnt enough for 6 girls to all get ready for a night out for instance. The location is good, not far into Belper in a taxi for anyone eating out or wanting to go to a pub either. Great views from the top floor bedroom especially to the rear of the house which looks over fields... we gained an extra friend over the weekend anyway, the friendly horse on the field at the bottom of the garden loved us feeding it apples in a morning. We can safely say we definitely celebrated our birthdays in style and would happily go back again.. infact we are already planning to in the summer at some point as this house would be the perfect place for a family break or a break with friends! We had a truly wonderful weekend from beginning to end!!

About the location

BELPER

Matlock 11 miles; Ashbourne 11 miles.

Belper, situated in the Derwent Valley, is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now you'll find it to be a spirited and bustling town, with attractions including the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Just 10 miles away, the popular Peak District town of Matlock, together with its neighbour, Matlock Bath, are set in the beautiful wooded gorge of the River Derwent. The Matlocks offer a range of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a whole host of other exciting attractions. Magnificent views down the gorge can be enjoyed from the cable car, which takes visitors up to the Heights of Abraham - a great place for all the family! South of the town is the start of the High Peak Cycle Trail, whilst to the north lie the market town of Bakewell and Chatsworth House - not to be missed! The award-winning town of Belper provides holidaymakers with an excellent base for all that Derbyshire has to offer.
