  Thank you for letting us stay at the sunshine apartment.

  As a family with a toddler, the first thing we want to acknowledge is that the apartment was very baby friendly. We could happily let him toddle about in the apartment which was fantastic for him and great for us! The location is great. We explored lots of the local area and the parts we visited that we needed to drive to were not too far in the car. The owners have also provided a folder of local hikes which they have kindly laminated for ease of taking with you! I thought that was a really nice touch. The facilities were ample and comfortable. We felt it was a home away from home kind of feel which was lovely! The social club downstairs was quiet (but we didn’t stay over the weekend when it was fully disclosed that it would be noisy) - we would have liked to have popped into the social for a drink in the evening but it’s members only, not sure if this is something that can be negotiated for future guests as I think that it is a nice feel. Jeff who runs the club is also very welcoming, which was nice. The bathroom would benefit from a towel rack as there is limited places to dry you wet towels but that’s just a constructive thought. Some touch ups are needed on fixings (as we have already text you about). We would absolutely stay there again. Thanks so much!

  I enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing holiday at Winsmore Cottage. The owner has put so much thought into providing everything you could want from a self-catering holiday. The cottage is situated in an extremely peaceful location. As soon as I arrived and got out of the car, I noticed the silence, no traffic noise, just birdsong, even though it is situated only two miles from Bakewell. The cottage was immaculately presented, with a very comfortable bed and every firmness/softness of pillow you could desire. The sitting room was beautiful, with a very comfortable settee, lots of books, and a log burner, leading through a useful conservatory into a very pretty garden. I enjoyed the generous hamper, filled with lots of local produce, and the toiletries provided were luxurious and were not tested on animals, which is something that is important to me. I had some contact with the owner, who was very helpful and approachable, and was extremely focused on his guest's happiness. The photos on the website don't do the cottage justice, as it is much more spacious than the photos suggest. I hope to stay at Winsmore Cottage again in the future.

  Modern and spacious apartment.

  The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable. The games available in the apartment were a bonus as the kids enjoyed playing them. 2 huge tvs. Nice views and great location for exploring. Bus stop less than a minutes walk to Belper or Derby. A few suggestions for the owner; A hairdryer would be handy Some tiles behind the bathroom sink would be useful Some of the cutlery/cooking bowls/tea towels were a bit dirty and it would’ve been nice to have a new cloth/sponge rather than used. The water pressure wasn’t very good unless you wanted a cold shower When the flat was warm the front door scrapped against the nice floor so could do with sanding perhaps to protect the floor a bit. Would recommend for a few days away exploring this lovely area.

  The property is absolutely fantastic, very difficult to put into words how nice it is. Great location with a top class interior fit out. Everything you need and more. Bed was the best I have ever slept on and the walk in shower was great. Swimming pool and facilities were way above our expectations and the fishing was great fun with plenty of choice. The owners are first class and they go over and above to make your stay memorable. Would certainly go back as I would love to experience the place in the summer. This place is one of those places you want to tell people about but also don’t want to as it’s a hidden gem which you want to keep for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

  We'd expected something unusual but not such spectacular landscaping and engineering. The main house, and the annexe in which we stayed, must have some of the best views in the county: two lakes stocked with fish, and a population of ducks, moorhens, coots and more; and when we stayed the bluebells were coming into bloom in the woodland. The annexe is modern, very accessible and easy to live in, and very well equipped. The whole place is just what we needed - very quiet and peaceful and beautiful. George and Mary were excellent hosts and glad to talk, and ready to explain the extraordinary history of their project... Guests at the Twin Lakes Annexe are very fortunate!
