The house was perfect, lots of space and well furnished. Plenty of space for a party of ten people. The view was lovely. We had lunch at The Tavern which is a short walk from the property, food was lovely. We also enjoyed a trip to the nearby waterfall and Chstsworth House.The only negatives were the master bedroom’s mattress was very uncomfortable; and non of the toilet seats fitted. The neighbours dogs provided an early morning howling wake up call from 6am! There is no double glazing in the master bedroom so they were very loud!

This was our group’s 2nd visit. It is a lovely cottage in a great location and met all our requirements. Unfortunately I was unable to join my friends this year due to a very sudden bereavement of a close relative which happened after the cut off date for cancelling the booking and a request to postpone the booking was declined. My friends had an enjoyable stay however last year, one friend inadvertently left an expensive frying pan. The host was contacted the day we left and my friend offered to pay the postage to return it but apparently it was not found at the property. Following the recent stay, another friend inadvertently left 2 jackets in the downstairs cupboard. She phoned the host on the day they left to let her know and advised she was happy to pay the postage to return them. My friend received the jackets 11 days later which was great news! Thank you!

Annual Get together

We are a group of school friends who meet annually. We had a lovely stay at Orchard Cottage and the hot tub was a huge hit. The house is spacious and well equipped. The location is lovely and we enjoyed a scenic walk into Matlock via the Lumsdale waterfall and Mill. Spent the day at Chatsworth which was well worth the visit. The host, Sue, could not have been more helpful.

Plenty of space and good location

7 of us stayed at the property, which provided plenty of space for us all. The three bathrooms were useful in the mornings, with all of us getting ready. The lounge had seats for all the adults in the morning. Located just outside Matlock, you are well placed to explore all the local sights. Whilst having somewhere to retreat after a long day out.

Cute country stay

We had a great stay in this property The location is great for walking and driving to places of interest. The wi-if was slow and it really needs either a clothes dryer or a line to hang clothes outside on but neither of these things distracted us from having a great time x

Spacious cottage

Plenty of room for the family to either socialise or have their own space. Huge well equipped kitchen with just about everything you might need! Ideal location away from the road but not so remote you cant walk to civilisation. Local pub, The Gate, did lovely food and super friendly service and just a short walk away. Not that easy to spot the sign for the lane as you drive on the main road, i recommend having a peek on google street view to give you an idea what to look out for! Little tip - the en suite bath takes an age to fill as the pressure is low and wasnt very hot first night, but little tweak of the boiler temp and it was a lovely big bath. Garden not as enclosed for the dog as i thought as she could get down the side to the back garden and orchard with fairly low walls in places but we kept an eye on her and she was fine. Bit annoying a neighbours dog would come into the garden as ours is nervous, plus i didnt appreciate cleaning up someone elses poop! However he wasnt unfriendly and another neighbour took it back to its home so was only really an inconvenience really. Bed was lovely and squishy... heaven after a day of walking! Overall really enjoyed our stay and would recommend booking!

Family gathering

Had a fantastic long weekend at Orchard cottage. Spacious accommodation for 8 people, with a big table for family meals and a good size lounge. Extra seating area in the kitchen which is great for socialising when someone is preparing food. The beds are all comfortable and the house was spotlessy clean and really warm. There's a garden on 3 sides, which was great for our dogs and there's plenty of really good walks close by. The only tiny details we struggled with were: no sharp knife, and we could have done with more information on where to put the recycling and how to alter the heating. Otherwise an absolutely brilliant stay, and we all agreed we'd love to go back.

Very over priced

Very over priced property. My Mum and Dad arrived Friday morning to find no hot tub there (this was the reason we booked it). I ring the owner to be told it was £185 extra, if she could get one. 8 people were going and expecting a hot tub so I agreed to pay in cash but wasn't happy. The hot tub was only comfortable for 5 people, so we couldn't all get in at the same time. Nothing on the site said extra for the hot tub. There is even a photo of one on the gallery. The house needed a refurbishment and a good clean. Kitchen utensils were old and dirty. We took our dog with us, but over the weekend had 2 other dogs running on the garden, so was unable to let my own dog out. My son had to take one of the dogs home as it was there a while. Also a very grumpy neighbour next door complained my dog was barking in the night, but it wasn't my dog. I explained about the dogs at the back of us, but he wouldn't have it. So finished our holiday off arguing with the very rude man next door. Will definitely not be going back.

Fabulous large cottage in an ideallic spot

The cottage was beautiful, very spacious for 6 of us and tastefully decorated and furnished. Everything we needed and more. Spectacular views and surrounding area lovely. We had a fabulous time celebrating a birthday and the glorious weather was an added bonus. We would definitely want to stay again and would highly recommend the cottage.
