What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable.

  When we arrived at 3pm on December 22nd we couldn't work out where the published parking for 2 cars was. We went into the Social Club where we found out it was in an alley where they put their empty metal containers. We went into the cottage and it was freezing in there. No heating had been turned on and no instructions how to use it or appliances, necessary if you are from another country. I called the number in the book but just got static, and then the phone was hung up. We found the controller, but it didn't work. Again, we went into the club where a customer came upstairs, thought the batteries were dead, and got some from his van. Then problem solved, heating worked. The stairs were very not very people friendly. Should have had another handrail on the other side. Dangerous if young children are staying there. The day before we were leaving, when we got back to the cottage in the evening, we found a car in our parking place and no other space available. When we went into the club, we were told the 2 parking spaces listed for Milford Cottage were actually to be shared with another one. Luckily, one of the customers was leaving the club, so we were told we could take his spot. Lastly, we couldn't lock the lock box, so we called the number again and said we were leaving the key on the dining table and the door open.

  The cottage is tastefully decorated and was lovely and warm on arrival.

  The 2 double bedrooms are very generous in space with comfy beds. The larger bedroom has a smaller bedroom coming off it that contains bunk beds, fine for children. The cottage was very clean with all amenities that you would need in the kitchen. The dining table is quite small but we were fine eating on our laps. The cottage is owned and run by a community social club which is a lovely addition to the property. The staff there were super friendly and invited us to attend their New Year’s Eve gathering with live music. Our teenage children were very happy as there is a full size pool and snooker table and a dartboard plus it is dog friendly. The area is lovely, plenty of walks including one alongside a golf course accessible just 5 mins walk up the road. We highly recommend the Palfrey restaurant and the Ice Cream cafe, both a 6 min walk away. Highly recommend this property and would return.

  The cottage was clean and the beds were very good & comfortable.

  Decorated nice. One morning the hot water system was not working, however this was promptly repaired. The living room was dark and had no daylight and very loud due to social club connected to the house. The kitchen tap was constantly running. Not one clothes hanger in the house. They were delivered one day before departure. The alley way to the cottage wasn‘t inviting and neither the chairs next to entrance of house. We had trouble opening the code box for the key and couldn‘t close it again. Actually a nice cottage if only small things items could have been attended to.

  Jane & Terry are fanastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble and very welcoming.

  The cottage is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need, even washer and dish washer pods. The garden is enclosed for small dogs with table and chairs outdoors. The bedroom is quite large with lovely views over the fields. We will miss Frank the dog host. The cottage is central to many scenic areas, Matlock is a short drive away, a walk to Black rock is a must. There is a morrisons and aldi in Belper, 10 minutes drive away, which also has lots of shops to look around. We will definitely be returning to the cottage, it felt like home after just 1 weeks stay.
