  The location is superb down a track surrounded by beautiful rural scenes, wildlife and a farm.

  Locals are trying to get post code changed as it will lead arrivals astray using sat navs. It HAS to be approached from the centre of Youlgreave. Spacious property well presented and clean. Very well equipped kitchen but no spare cupboard space for food. Easy to get round that though with boxes and bags. Lovely paved patio and furniture with great views. No photos of that which nearly made me not book. Outside space important in summer. Only negative of the whole week was the buzzing of next doors hot tub. Comfy bedding and we parked 5 cars easily. Three decent pubs in Youlgreave which is about a 15 minute walk uphill. We ate in The Bulls Head- to varied reviews. Good beers in both Bulls Head and George. The other pub seemed to have fewer opening hours? There’s a small Spar shop, a cake shop and further - near the Bulls Head - a gem of a bakery called Peak Feast which has outside seating. It serves coffee, cakes and has a hot snack menu. Highly recommend the Homity Pie. We walked to Druids Inn in Birchover and to the Lathkil Hotel in Over Haddon. Both well worth a visit for food, drink and views. Both high up so you’ll earn the calories! The local walking routes from the doorstep are superb, best we’ve done, varied terrain. We would love to rebook. Helpful owner near by.

  This is a lovely place to stay, very relaxing and well equipt with everything you could need there at hand.

  A couple of things to point out, the property is covered by CCTV with active camera's covering the garden but the signs were at the front of the barn next door so it was not immediately obvious it was active so for me it felt intrusive. The other thing was fly's inside the property particularly the kitchen and living area were an irritant all food had to be covered at all times and my step father was unable to rest in the armchair. Having said that neither of these issues affected the wonderful holiday we had and we will visit again in the future. **** Owner response; Thank you for spending some time to provide your feedback and we are happy you have had a wonderful holiday. The CCTV only operates at the entrance to the property and also covers the areas where guests park their cars. Their only use is security for the property and the guests visiting. We are sorry you had to deal with flies at the property, we will do everything we can to prevent this being an issue moving forward. Unfortunately being rural and close to farms, along with the hot weather this summer has meant a higher than normal amount of flies in the local area.

  This is a really well maintained and presented property and the owners were really friendly and helpful, yet left us to holiday and to enjoy our break.

  Comfy beds, decent linen, hot water galore and nice towels. Small basics but all good. The property is well stocked with local info, books and music to enjoy. Great TV and a well functioning kitchen with all the kit you would need. There is a small outside space which we would have made more of with sunnier weather. This overlooks some fab views across the valley below. Access is via a private track through two gates. The instructions do make this clear and when you first arrive it can feel an unusual way to arrive at a property. However, it also made it feel really secure and private and we loved that. The setting is rural and you are very close to farms and we enjoyed the farm animals in nearby fields and the wildlife in the area - in particular the birds of prey hunting in the valley and the geese from the local lake. Load of great walks you can do direct from the property and easy access into Youlgreave for pubs/food and basic shops. And only a short drive to Bakewell and Chatsworth. We were a group of six - two couples and two single friends and it was perfect for us for our annual catch up.

  The property is lovely.

  Beautifully finished and in a fabulous location. The single track road does have pot holes but we have a low car and did not find it a problem - you just need to proceed with caution. No passing traffic is a real bonus and the short walk into the village delightful. However. We were 8 people for a whole week and it was a little snug. The small dining table and lack of storage space for food not requiring refrigeration were both a challenge - and both could be readily fixed. There is also very limited clothing storage space despite the property having lots built in - it's all locked! The upstairs bathroom is also let down by the lack of a shower, particularly given that it is plenty big enough to have one added. Again, 8 of us using the one downstairs shower for a whole week was a little frustrating. 8 people for just a couple of nights or fewer for a week would be perfect.

  Lovely cottage with great on site facilities.

  The sat nav took us to haddon caravan park though and we needed to back track. Once on the holiday cottage site we couldn’t find the cottage as we had no picture to guide us, so a better sign would be great. A site map in the folder would be good too to show where the pool is etc. other than that we definitely would come back a very comfortable sleep and everything we needed for a couple of days. If staying longer it would be good to have a microwave. Also instructions on the heating or on and off controls would be good. We loved having the pool and enjoyed the table tennis and board games .Also location of the cottage was great to get into Bakewell. Cleanliness was great and having throws really made the cottage very homely for us . The little area out the back was great for the dogs. A lovely stay .
