  This is a beautiful house in a nice quiet peaceful area.

  The house is tastefully decorated throughout. The conservatory was lovely to sit in and eat or just relax. The bath is a good size and great to soak in. The bed we used was comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen was a good size and well laid out. It was a pleasure to cook there. We enjoyed spending time in the garden and it is very dog friendly and private. The owner was very responsive and welcoming and left a welcome pack which was very welcome indeed. Nearby are two playgrounds, a park, playing field and canal. The local shop is just across the road. Two pubs within easy reach. The No 90 bus takes you straight to a big Tesco and a big Sainsbury and the bus stop is only a short walk down the road. There is a regular bus service running from the main road so it is easy to get into Brimmington or Chesterfield. The Owner left plenty of leaflets about things to do if you come with a car. There is a garage for off-road parking. We had a lovely time here and liked it so much we didn't want to leave and booked an extra week so stayed 3 weeks instead of 2. It was relaxing and just what we needed. Would highly recommend.

  Photos and description spot on so I'll add just a few thoughts.

  You might call it dated and oddly laid out, but it's a historic property, really, by today's standards; well-preserved and with fascinating insights into the owners' lives here and their parents. The house is full of the owners' ornaments, books, etc., almost as if you are sharing it with them. We found this homely and charming, and it meant it was very well equipped. If you live a clutter-free life, you'll want to go elsewhere. Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and nearby fields. The rules on-site request no dogs on beds or other furniture. That was fine for us, and will be of great comfort to the pet-free (the place was very clean), but I suspect it would be a deal-breaker for someone. There was some road noise, but not usually at night. The lounge and two of the bedrooms are at the back. Friendly owners and a nice welcome pack completed the package. This house suited us, and we would happily rebook if returning to the area.

  Lovely garden and we got what we saw in the photos in terms of decor, furniture and fittings, so quite dated but comfortable.

  Noted that there was parking for two cars plus one across the road. However the entrance to the on site parking was narrow and if we had brought the range rover it would not have got through the gate and hard to see how you get two large cars parked up.Also the hedge at the front meant zero visibility when pulling out across the pavement. Reversing in was also difficult given the house is sited on a busy road. Only two of us came on holiday and we took the rooms at the rear of the house so no traffic noise. I think the front bedroom would certainly hear the traffic . Washing machine and dryer came in useful. Also nice gesture with the wine, biscuits and milk being provided on our arrival. Also good range of kitchen items plus tea towels. Well supplied and also lots of bedroom storage . Good road links into The Peak District . Large supermarket only a few minutes away.

  Kylemore Railway Cottage was perfect.

  We were 6 adults and the cottage was spacious and very comfortable for all of us. The cottage was impeccably clean and everything was of a very high quality spec. The beds were so comfortable that I'm now going to change my mattress at home for the same used in the cottage. Set in a quiet, rural area, next to a working railway line. The passing trains were swift and unobtrusive. We spent Christmas 2023 there and the owner had decorated the living areas beautifully with fairy lights, a real Christmas tree and lots of other decorations. Having a log fire in the dining room made it all the more special. We will definitely recommend this property and will stay there again in the future. Yvette and George were very helpful and friendly. All in all, a wonderful family Christmas (with 3 generations) was had by all. Thank you.

  Right from the start we were made to feel very welcome by the owners.

  The house was so comfortable and clean. It’s perfectly situated to reach all the areas of the Peak District you might want to visit. We have family who live close by so great position for us. We had such lovely weather and so got great use of the lovely garden, I was even able to make an apple pie from the fallen cooking apples off the tree at the bottom of the garden. This house was a loved family home for many years and is still owned by the same family whose parents built it, with pictures of when it was a shop on the walls. Lovely to get to know a bit of history of the place. When we go away we look for somewhere near family that can meet the needs of both us and our two dogs. The old Grocery is a lovely place to stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to book this cottage again.
