  This was an exceptionally comfortable and lovely cottage.

  It's warm and comfortable and very well equipped, with some lovely mid century ceramics. The selection of local history and guide books is the best I've ever seen in a cottage. There are many lovely walks straight from the door. Middleton is beautiful and a very peaceful location if you want to get away from it all. Downstairs is beautiful and very well thought out. The front bedroom is also very good. If you like GPlan you'll be in actual heaven. It is slightly let down by the double bedroom at the back, the kids certainly got the better deal in terms of space and comfort and the view. The back bedroom did smell a bit damp and the window was stuck and we didn't want to force it open for fear of breaking it. My main discontent though was there were no bedside lights and no bedside table. I knew from the pictures that it was a small room and there were wardrobes either side of the bed but in practice it is a real pain not to have somewhere to put a cup of tea. The pictures did show reading lights on the wardrobes but there weren't actually any there, this should be sorted. I think it would also be worth considering swapping one of the wardrobes for a bedside table.

  Beautiful cottage in an idyllic quiet village.

  The cottage is really well stocked with crockery, kitchenware etc, a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the sunny patio with peacocks was perfect. Just the right size for us and an 11yo and 9 yo. We ate at the breakfast bar which suited us but there is a well appointed dining room too. The village is very quiet, just tractors, peacocks and hens to break the silence, with river and dale walks straight from the front door; you do need to go to the next village for pubs and a shop which sell wonderful baked goods. We also visited the Farmyard Inn which served excellent pub food. There is a play area in the village too. Really well situated for Chatsworth, Bakewell, Matlock etc. We had a water leak in the village whilst there and the owners were straight there with water for the toilet and drinking and to pester the water workers up the lane! Very friendly and helpful. Only 2 minor niggles - neither tin opener worked and the top landing step is extremely slippery. Otherwise a fantastic break in a perfect cottage, we really didn't want to leave and hope to be back.

  Just returned home from a 3 night stay at Rose Cottage, what an amazing little gem this cottage is, the owners have thought of everything you need and much more, it’s a cosy home from home.

  The walk down the river into the next village of Youlgrave is magical and with the choice of pubs in the village is a great pit stop before the returning walk back to cottage. The owners have thought of everything from games, DVDs to plenty of books to keep you busy, my hubby throughly enjoyed reading the book about the history of Middleton well worth reading as it gives you a good insight into the village, and we enjoyed spotting the different buildings as we walked through the village. I loved watching the birds on the feeders outside the window. The cottage has everything you need for a great stay in the Peak District, and is not far from Bakewell. The under floor heating is amazing. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we will definitely return in the future, the homemade flapjacks left as a welcome are delicious and went down a treat. The owners of this property have got it just right, and thought of everything, we’ve had a great time and we hope to be back soon.

  This is an excellent cottage in a very convenient location.

  The cottage has excellent facilities other than lacking a wi-fi connection which wasn't particularly important to me as 4G is present nearby. Cooking facilities are first class and there is a separate dining room. Bathroom has a shower and a bath. The garden area is raised and very pleasant, enclosed and not too large. You can watch a variety of birds on the bird feeder from the lounge, during our stay coaltits and a nuthatch were regularly present and were not even put off by a visiting sparrow hawk. You can walk a few hundred yards down the road and access the River Bradford which provides super circular footpaths to Youlgreave and beyond. Within easy reach (20 minutes max) by car are Matlock, Chatsworth, Bakewell, Lathkill Dale, Millers Dale and Monsal Dale. A country walkers paradise. I highly recommend this cottage.

  The cottage is absolutely beautiful and comfortable in every way, with so many thoughtful details, it doesn't feel like it matters that you are somewhere quite remote because you have everything right there.

  Comfortable beds, super clean and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, everyone from Nan to toddler was very happy with their stay! The outdoor area is gorgeous for alfresco dining and watching all the local wildlife and taking in the garden. The lack of wifi wasn't as issue, 4G worked quite well if we needed it but it's also good to take a break from being online. We would happily return! My only slight qualm is not to do with the cottage but the Sykes booking system. It would be much better if it was possible to book more flexibly with nightly prices rather than weekly, we would have liked to stay 1-2 extra nights but it wasn't possible with the current booking system.
