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 road is quite tricky, and tight.

  Our car was scratched quite badly due to this. On the photos it does not show what the actual full road looks like so I would say the photo is deceiving. The property itself was georgous and cosy and comfortable, however we did not feel it was very clean. The number of cobwebs and spiders everywhere really let the place down. We found 2 used face masks under the bedroom on the top floor, which was really off putting. The previous people that stayed clearly could not be asked to dispose of thier used face masks in the bin and decided to throw them behind the bed. This obviously was not spotted when it was being cleaned for our stay. We had to dispose them and gave the bedroom a good vaccum. Some of the dishes were dirty, the teapot was filthy and the bathroom/toilet was also not very clean. Bed in bedroom in first floor not comfortable at all, very noisy and squeaky, however bed in top floor was very comfortable. But overall a good comfortable and cosy stay and close to some beautiful spots, the garden was lovely.

  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 property is lovely and kept to a high standard.

  It was very clean upon arrival with everything you need for a week away. The stairs are steep and windy and aren’t ideal for children or those with mobility issues as some of the steps aren’t full steps. The seating in the living room really isn’t comfy neither. I do love a chesterfield, I think they’re lovely to look at but to sit on on an evening was very difficult. I’m currently seven months pregnant and found it very hard to get comfy as the seats are short and the back on the chair is low. Could really do with some footstools otherwise you’re sat very upright and slide off the seats. Feedback was the same from the rest of our party. We was really pleased with the cottage as whole. The garden was nice, it was in walking distance of everything in belper including takeaways, pubs, shops and supermarkets. These were all walkable from the cottage.

  We had a lovely stay at Chevin View.

  The property and gardens were a great base for our trip. The location was perfect, Belper town, train/bus station and rural walks all on the doorstep. We really enjoyed the garden at the property, which had a large lawn for the kids to play safely. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we slept well at the property. A couple of things to note, the stairs are narrow and were tricky to navigate for our less abled. Low doorways, we had a few bumps on the head. Sound travelled easily in the property, not an issue for us as a close family group, but something to be aware of. We also thought the seating in the lounge area was not comfortable for relaxing in front of the TV. The weather was good for us though, so we spent our evenings in the garden ☺️ Thanks for a lovely stay!
