Robin's Nest was the perfect little romantic getaway for our holiday. Set on a working farm, we welcomed the animal noises coming from the countryside, however we were surprised at how quiet it was. The garden area was perfect for sitting out under the stars. Robin's Nest had all we needed. It's the perfect setting for us to venture out on a short walk into Matlock Bath for the Illuminations we visited Blackrocks, High Tor, travelled out to Luds Church, Dragon's Back. There really is so much to do in this beautiful area. The Farm staff were all friendly and we had a walk across the fields made friends with the horses but didn't brave the cow field! Thank-you for a lovely stay it was really cozy and homely. We will be coming back.Adrian & Marie

A lovely cosy cottage ideal for two. Very well equipped with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Very quiet considering it is on a working farm. The owner was very quick to respond when our toilet seat broke and had it fixed the same day. Everything in the cottage was provided, towels, tea towels, washing up liquid etc. The welcome gift of a bottle of wine was a nice touch too. The location is great being right in the middle for visiting Haddon Hall, Chatsworth House, Bakewell market, Kedleston Hall etc. Cromford Mills and village well worth a trip ( park in Cromford Meadows it's cheaper). The canal boat trip is a must. Will definitely be back.
