  We really enjoyed our stay at Bobbin cottage.

  The kitchen diner is a great size and a good space for cooking and chatting. The lounge was very warm and cosy - so much so that we didn't need to light the wood burning stove (darn!). There was an unofficial community apple festival during our stay. Lots of people have apple trees and had boxes at the end of their paths with a note, 'Eating apples free to a good home -take what you need", which was lovely. Matlock is a town of hills, and the cottage is located near the top of one of these, so we were much fitter when we left than before we arrived! There is a pair of playing fields a short walk from the cottage, which was great for walking the dog. A couple of drawbacks - the boiler is in a cupboard in one of the double rooms, and you walk through the twin room to get to the attic bedroom. Neither of these is an issue if everyone is up and about at the same time, and this also reflects that this is a traditional cottage and part of the charm is the layout. The parking space near the cottage is a bit tight, and the neighbours are a bit twitchy about parking. We had two cars and when one pulled up to unload, we could see faces at windows so we moved as quickly as we could so we were out of the way. There was on street parking very close to the cottage. We would stay at Bobbin Cottage again.

  The Snug is a really lovely cottage - exactly as described, ideal for my husband, myself and our small dog.

  It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

  This was a great property well laid out and comfy for us.

  The little extra features in the property like leaving pepper salt and bin bags two toilet rolls helped. The leaving of the information book on the property and the local area was a nice touch. The quality and cleanliness of the bedding and towels was really good. The fact there was a small freezer and a dishwasher was great as we did eat in for some of our stay. The neighbours to the cottage were very pleasant which is good and the fact that the designated parking space was always free was also great as there is very limited parking although we had no issues finding a space for the second car on the hill near the property. The only tiny little niggle was there were 6 of us and the comfy seating in the front room is for 5 but this is so minor as there are other chairs you can bring in from the dinning area. Would be very happy to return to this property and tell friends about it. Great job done by the owners in providing a well maintained and tidy property for visitors to use.

  It is a nice cottage close to town.

  A bit dusty in places and the sofas a bit musty, the bath is also quite small but has a dishwasher, a log burner in the longue, and a gas fire in the kitchen as well as central heating so very cosy. The bedrooms have plenty of space and comfortable mattresses. The kitchen is also fairly large but the the lounge is small. The cottage owner's instructions for parking isn't accurate because another neighbuor told us to move our car- there is obviously an ongoing dispute between the cottages as to who can park in the space but there is space next to the wall that was always available to use. I wouldn't recommend this cottage for those with mobility problems because it has three sets of uneven steps to the front door and steep stairs inside in addition to a sloped area outside to the road. Overall it was comfortable and pleasent.

  From the moment we found the place (brilliant guidance from Jo), it became our hidden home away from the world.

  Jo very thoughtfully left a small gift, cupcakes and birthday decorations for us so when we walked in, we instantly felt at home, and in the mood to celebrate! The cottage itself is beautiful with an air of magic. Lots of beautiful decoration that makes it feel homely. We especially loved the barn door (where the top half of the door opens, but the bottom half is closed). The dates we were there had some rainy moments but the barn door allowed us to enjoy the rainy smells and sounds, take in the beuaiful view and be as close to nature as possible, all whilst sitting on cosy chairs with a blanket to keep us warm. Truly magical moments that we're looking forward to experiencing again.
