  Another wonderful stay in the bungalow.

  I don’t know whether to mention this but it is a wonderful writer’s retreat. The view must be one of the best in Derbyshire - rolling hills and alpacas grazing (and for the foreseeable future, no through road). There needs to be a desk/ dressing table in the bay window main bedroom to write from and look out, but I worry if this happens, other writers will book the place up! Much time was spent writing on the decking area table at the front. It faces West so the sunsets can be amazing. We walked down to the nice Tickled Trout (half a mile) and stayed put most the time. I reversed the car up the steep drive and once it was wedged in was pleased not to have to do that again! Apparently most people park at the bottom of the drive, but I preferred a car-free view. One slight annoyance was I think the previous vacationers may have had a joint but we opened the windows and then it was fine and no reflection on the bungalow. We worked out the reclining sofas had phone chargers in which was handy on a rainy evening watching Netflix movies. The garden behind was lovely to lie in - our picnic rug got well used. The only noise were owls, clip-clopping of horses and occasionally tractors in the fields. Bliss. Hope to come here for a third time if it doesn’t get too booked up. It is a very special place.

  We stayed over Christmas week, we really did have the best time during our stay!

  ! Copper coin had everything we could possibly need and it is furnished to a very high standard. It was very clean. The folder with local recommendations was very handy too. We didn't venture far during our stay, but we were not far from a co-op at the end of the road and a park down the bottom of one of the side streets. There was plenty of space for our family of 6, whether we wanted to be all together or making use of all the different areas of the house! Our two year old loved to get comfy on the fluffy rugs!! There are plenty of tvs and great WiFi signal which was handy with our two teenagers and ten year old! The garden is huge and the covered hot tub was a lovely treat too! The bedrooms are spacious and have ample storage space. We have already booked Copper Coin again in the summer and we can't wait, we are looking forward to being able to enjoy the outside space, fingers crossed for a bit of sun. A huge thank you to the lovely hosts, they thought of everything, even thought about putting some Christmas decorations up for us. You have a beautiful holiday home to be proud of, we really did have the best week. Thank you!

  The property was spotless and it had the wow factor.

  The living area was bright, with lots of natural light and three separate seating areas. It felt very relaxing to be there with tasteful decor and comfortable chairs. Two of the bedrooms were very spacious and the third was okay but it had its own wardrobe. For the two larger rooms, hanging space was in the hallway which wasn't always practical. All the beds were super comfortable. The kitchen is big with loads of mainly empty cupboards and a decent fridge/freezer. For some reason, the microwave was in the utility room. There were no coffee making facilities but there was a kettle and a toaster. The garden is not overlooked, is quite well maintained though I'm not sure I liked the plastic flowers in the plant pots as much and it was very pleasant to sit in. The location is good on a quite road on the edge of Gawber with a view over fields and the M1 in the distance. There are a number of local attractions within 20 minutes of the property but it was so nice inside, there was no pressure to be out and about every day.

  Lovely little cottage with lots of potential.

  A few minor issues but worth noting. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty so we had to buy our own hand soap not a major issue but I would expect it to be available for us. There was no toilet brush or shower curtain. No washing up sponges provided in the kitchen, just a flannel which wasn't ideal. Appreciate the cottage is old but there are a lot of cobwebs that have blatantly been there for a while and could be dealt with a duster, just makes the place look a little unkempt. Someone's old contact lenses were left on the bedside table which wasn't nice either. Seems there is a lack of attention to detail here compared to other cottages we have stayed at for a similar price. The host did leave us some milk and biscuits which was lovely. It would be good for future guest for the kitchen to have some oil, tin foil, kitchen roll etc. Again something we have had in other stays for a similar price. Overall a pleasant stay, lovely cottage just needs some tweaks from the hosts and it could be amazing.

  We found the photos of the front room on the website deceptive in that it made the front room look a lot bigger than it was.

  The downstairs was so small almost unusable especially if you had a young child. None of the top floor beds had linen on. We booked the whole cottage not just one floor! My wife was not feeling well so we needed the extra bed. Was forced to contact owner. I asked for an extra tray and dish rack as there was no dishwasher we needed the dish rack so plates etc could dry which they didn't without. What annoyed us was this request was ignored and we had quite a blunt text back saying linen would be left for us....but we shouldn't have had to ask! We had no welcome from owners. Signage to where park car needs replacing as you can't see it. Wasn't made clear in description that owners house was literally opposite. We had to put blinds down each day as anyone who walked past would stare in! Most mornings were quite noisy with either kids shouting on field behind us or some machinery work. Rooms need blinds to black out light! Bathroom and shower very good but need more hooks to hang towels.
