  Our stay at Cambridge Lodge was brilliant.

  From the time we got there with the welcome hamper of food and wine, to the Easter eggs that Lisa had hidden around the place for our son to have an Easter egg hunt, it was brilliant. I have never stayed in such a well appointed and superbly maintained property. The owner, Lisa met us when we got there and showed us around, explaining how things worked and a little bit of history of the place, and was always on hand throughout the stay if we needed her as she lived on the farm about 5 minutes away. Before we got there she said to pack lightly as there was everything we'd need in the lodge, and she was right.. there was. Detergents, sauces, herbs, condiments, sharp knives (something that never exists in holiday lets! ) and even a slow cooker. The property itself is amazing, but does have limited headroom in a section downstairs, you just duck your head when you are there as it's part of the quirkiness of living in such a property. I'm 6ft tall and I didn't hit my head once, I just remembered to duck! I've stayed in many holiday homes over the years, in both this country and USA, both modern and quirky, but this has to be the best by far. Lisa said she wanted to do the job properly and she's certainly done that, I'd thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in this area, it's lovely and quiet, good links to the main roads and nearby Matlock Bath and has plenty of walks in the immediate vicinity if you just fancy an afternoon or evening stroll.

  We had a lovely week at Keepers Cottage.

  There were four of us, 2 mature couples. The owner was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, even though she is very busy with the farm. The house was plenty big enough, with two lovely sitting out areas, when the weather was kind enough. The extra living room is useful if you want television in the evenings, but we tended to stay in the kitchen area, playing card games. There was adequate equipment for the preparation of meals, although we did encounter a slight problem on occasions, getting the oven door to close. The slow cooker was a really useful addition. It was really helpful having the two bathroom options and one is downstairs. We didn't need the heating but couldn't find a way to get the towel rails to heat without it (probably us!). Great fun watching the day to day activities of the farm, especially all the sheep passing right in front of the cottage. It was easy to get out and about and we did walks from Whaley Bridge, Castleton, visited Lyme Park and did a Treasure trail at Hayfield amongst other trips. We would highly recommend the Cock Inn at Whaley Bridge, especially for Sunday lunch.

  Outstanding, wonderful, spectacular no words can describe the property.

  Beautifully decorated and designed, spotless, so well equipped it was unbelievable, warm and cosy. Wonderful scenery and breathtaking views, lovely walk through Cambridge Wood peaceful listening to the birds singing, watching the rabbits, and we caught a glimpse of a deer one night. Greated on arrival by Lisa, lovely warm friendly greating, made us feel so welcome from the start, so caring even to phoning us on the night to see that we along with mom (93) especially had settled in,which she had. All the little extras, well not so little! teas, coffee's, milk, fresh fruit, wine, bread and butter, a wonderful hamper of goodies and the welcome tea, no feast kept us going a good while. We wanted for nothing. If we could give more than five stars we would without any hesitation believe us. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful property, you should be so proud of yourselves and your beautiful lodge.

  Cambridge Lodge certainly has the wow factor in abundance.

  It is even better than the photographs. The fixtures and fittings are of an extremely high standard. Bedding, towels etc are best quality. All furnishings are very comfortable. It is far more than "a home away from home". It is equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing stay in a lovely area of the Peak District. There is no welcome pack your arrival. Instead you are provided with a "welcome feast", that kept us supplied for days. The owner, Lisa goes above and beyond what you would expect. Her wonderful greeting on our arrival, telephone call on first evening, and unexpected bottle of Prosecco on our return from a day out to celebrate our wedding anniversary, followed up with a telephone call on our return home, shows this is a labour of love. There is no "if" we will return, just a "when" will we return.

  Our host Lisa a very genuine person who wants you to feel at home at Cambridge Lodge her thoughtfulness is shown in abundance.

  Cambridge Lodge is a great location for a holiday local to so many attractions near by. It is spacious ,truly a place to be enjoyed with fantastic views, spotlessly clean, so well equipped with every kitchen item you could imagine a lovely dining area as a family to gather around (we also ate on the terrace beautiful views) .Open plan sitting room to chill and watch tv breaks off with an area to enjoy a game of chess, another area to read. A “ little den area” off one of the bedrooms with a comfy couch and another tv is a lovely little hideaway. All three bedrooms like the rest of the home are decorated and furnished to a high standard, comfy beds a great night sleep had by all. Two super bathrooms. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, also washing line outside. This is a real gem not to be missed!
